hi!

my name is PJ

i believe the best ideas are created through diverse and inclusive communities.

i’m currently planning a creative retreat in northern michigan alongside the midnight club. we’re accepting 15-25 creators, so if you’re interested apply here.

i love growth specifically through meaningful storytelling, and the goal with costoftrying.com is to amplify creators and connect people through stories and events.

i’m building the university of michigan’s startup community, along with a couple creative spaces here such as shift and tmc.

so if you are a creator looking for a new perspective, hmu @costoftrying
