The Art Is Long by Frank Forencich

Our bodies are the canaries in the coal mine of the modern world. Health and medical industries focus on the well-being of the canary, but miss the larger message. Something is tragically wrong with the way we’re living. The Art is Long is an exploration of the “long body,” our individual bodies plus our life-supporting systems of habitat, tribe, and culture. Being healthy is just a beginning. [Developmental editing, copyediting]

I copyedited the first three annual editions of the Paleo Magazine Readers’ Favorites Cookbook—2013, 2014, and 2015. Each one represents a different kind of cookbook—more of a culinary anthology—focused as much on community as it is on food.

Flops

Every entrepreneur expects to fail at some point—it’s part of the process. But what happens when you fail big? Flops uncovers how outrageous failure can spark learning, inspire bold new ideas, lead to surprising redemptions, and offer a chance to build something better. I cohosted this podcast with Karen Beattie where we talked to ambitious entrepreneurs about the failures—and rebounds—that shaped them into who they are today.
