Creator of POTUS Unpacked: 250 Years of Presidential Highlights
Making 250 Years of Presidential History Accessible to Politically Exhausted Americans
The Challenge
Drowning in Information.
Drowning in Information.
Starving for Context.
We live in a moment where Americans are overwhelmed by headlines but disconnected from historical perspective.
Political commentary is constant. Outrage is immediate. Context is rare.
POTUS Unpacked was created to cut through the noise; not with ideology, but with patterns.
Understanding where we've been changes how we see where we are.
