Oh Hi!
I’m Chuck Copenspire
Author. Speaker. Digital Strategist. Creative Problem Solver.
From creative storytelling to technical strategy, I help people and organizations understand what’s actually going on… and what to do next.
I specialize in clarity. Especially when things look fine on the surface but aren’t working underneath.
Speaking at TEDx Spokane
”Express, Expose, ignite!”
In 2018, I worked with slam poets Bethany Montgomery and AJ the Wordsmith to develop a TEDx talk exploring how storytelling and community events help people reconnect across difference.
That work wasn’t about performance.
It was about translation. Taking complex human experiences and making them understandable, shareable, and actionable.
That skill shows up in everything I do now.
Power 2 The Poetry reframed
Together, we created Power 2 The Poetry, a nonprofit that taught slam poetry and performance skills to high school students and produced community open mics throughout Spokane, WA.
It was an early example of a pattern that keeps repeating in my work:
People feel stuck.
The real issue is unclear.
Once the story gets clearer, momentum follows.
more cool stuff
more cool stuff
My career doesn’t fit on a straight line. That’s not an accident.
I wrote a book!
I hosted a podcast!
nice people keep interviewing me!
I write helpful articles!
My very unusual resume
TLDR:
I’ve spent my career moving between creative, technical, and strategic worlds - often acting as the person who can see the whole system when others are stuck inside one piece of it.
I’ve written books and scripts, built websites and brands, coached business owners, led creative teams, and solved problems that didn’t come with instructions.
That breadth isn’t random.
It’s why I’m good at diagnosing what’s actually broken… and what just needs clearer structure.

Most people I work with are smart, capable, and already doing a lot right.
They don’t need motivation.
They need someone who can see the system clearly and explain it without ego or hype.
That’s what I do. Whether I’m auditing a website, untangling a business problem, or helping someone decide what actually matters next.
