Why did you join Created by Humans?
"The thread that ties my professional lives in the music business and legal practice together is a passion for the creation, use and protection of creative works. Created by Humans is establishing a marketplace to provide rights holders with a simple solution to AI licensing and access to a brand new royalty stream, which is truly thrilling to me. I also joined because like its name, the company is created by humans, and all of the humans on the team are smart, kind and energetic people trying to do good for the creator economies and the AI platforms at the same time, so that is what sold me."
What human(s) inspire you?
"Definitely my wife, family and friends are the biggest inspiration in my life. Through them I see and experience community, joy, kindness, patience and love. I’m also a huge cycling fan and former competitor, so watching both the men’s and women’s Tour de France nearly brings me to tears witnessing the results of all the hard work, discipline and sacrifices made to get there… which can come as a reward or disappointment. Lastly, I’ve recently been studying Stoic philosophy with great interest… so a nod to the “Philosopher King" Marcus Aurelius here is in order as well."
If you could wave a magic wand, what would you have AI do for you?
"All of life’s administrative tasks! I’d love for all the cleaning, coordination, chasing up and planning tasks that take up so much of every day to be handled so we could all focus on what we do best and have more time for what we want to do outside of work."
Who are some of your favorite human creators?
"I am a diehard music fanatic, so musicians top my list… I’m a giant fan of Joe Strummer, Spiritualized, Massive Attack, Tom Waits, Hot Chip and recently Nation of Language to name just a few."
Where can other humans find you on the weekend?
"If I’m in Vermont, you can find me in the woods trying to improve and maintain the land where we live half the year. If I’m in Brooklyn, then you’ll find me out at a concert or dancing with friends to fun music somewhere!"
