Hello
Thanks for stopping by. I'm Brian Sun. I'm an author based in Los Angeles, California. I write books about life/work rooted in my personal experience.
My first book is called Move This Way: Navigating the Emotional Transition to a New City. I wrote it based on my moves from Phoenix to Flagstaff to San Francisco to Los Angeles. I'm probably a little too honest in the book, but whatever.
I've got more stuff on the way. I'm going to write books about getting a job you don't think you can get, becoming better at conversation/listening, navigating stock options, getting good at stuff, doing the solo consultant thing, quitting a job well, and a handful of books about marketing only people who really like marketing will like.
If you'd like to get in touch, please drop me a line or subscribe to my newsletter that I only send when I have something I really want to say.
Work
When I'm not writing, I do marketing for startups. Specifically, I'm the guy who makes all of the messages you receive after you subscribe to a newsletter, sign up for a service, and buy things.
I've marketed houses, investments, skincare, emails, fatty acid, and phones. The list goes on.
My own projects include a small business insurance startup that never saw the light of day (long story), an online book publisher, and podcast clip search engine that's coming soon.
Philosophy
I believe good writing is rooted in having something valuable to say, either from personal experience or by thinking about something more than anyone else has, then helping the rest of us make sense of it.
If a piece of writing confuses you, it means the author has more work to do.
A book is you listening to a person talk to you about something for a few hours that they've thought about for years. It's a gift.
