Jody Sperling is a fiction writer looking for a publisher.  A decade of patience and no book contract led him to shift his strategy, and he began learning real estate investing with the view that the rental properties would be his patrons of the arts. 

While he built a strong rental portfolio, he realized he had years until his properties would pay for his bills, not to mention, that real estate got him no closer to his true dreams. He decided to live off the proceeds from selling his rentals and launch the business, cre8 collabor8, a podcast and publishing platform designed to give everyday people a chance to tell their stories
