Hi! I’m Sam Howard, and I am a single mother, comic, actress, writer, producer, director, artist, community organizer, activist and all-around-creative weirdo living with Narcolepsy Type 1 in the heart of the North Hollywood Arts District in Los Angeles, California who is on a mission to help the world sleep better. and be. awake. happier. with Sleep with Sam Howard, Nfp – global 501c3/co-op/community developin’/wellness program/edutainment company/slumber party experience/absolute dream business! ….all in-the-making… and to keep the makin’ goin’, here’s what I think I need from YOU! (but srsly I have no idea what I’m doing and the most wonderful thing that ever happened in my life was becoming Jack’s mom, and that was an accident, so I’m supes open to this list being fully wrong ;))
- MAKE A (tax deductible!) DONATION
- Venmo here (no fee) (@sleepwithsamhoward)
- Zelle here (no fee) (hmmm…this link doesn’t seem to work any more, but if anyone can help me figure out how to fix it or to donate directly to our Chase Bank account, email address is sleepwithsamhoward@gmail.com …
- PayPal Giving Fund here (fee) (this we also need help with cuz it was previously linked to our old bank account…)
- Stripe Checkout here (credit card fee)… I think this still works? Nah, it doesn’t. Dammit, we also need help with this.
- JOIN OUR TEAM …slash, partner with Sam and take over the true professional adulting work, cuz every time I try to sit down and write a business plan or hire an executive assistant or bookkeeper, I seem to mess it up. Here’s what I THINK we need in orderish of priority–
- EDITOR / EDITING TEAM …including maybe a post production supervisor, illustrators, animators, color correctors, sound engineers, etc?… to finally finish editing Season 1 of The Sleep with Sam Howard Show’s first 24 episodes. Srsly these eps were insanely special and fun to create and the footage is so good, but it overwhelms the eff outta me.
- APP & WEBSITE DEVELOPER(S)/DESIGNER(S) to build out our Slumber Party Wellness App and www.sleepwithsamhoward.com.
- BOOKKEEPER/TAX/ACCOUNTING/FINANCE (PERSON/TEAM?) to help us with one of my favorite lines from our show’s theme song — we’re sleeping our way to the top together… I’m basically trying to use the good parts about Capitalism (I knowww, crazy to read Sam Howard thinks there are good parts to Capitalism ;)) to help everyone win this strange game of Monopoly created by humans that currently has left most humans without most of their Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs being met on a daily basis. But I know there’s a way out, and I I just need a buncha big-hearted numbers nerds to help me vlookup the heck outta getting us there!
- PROJECT MANAGER TYPE(S) to help me with all the moving parts of running a business, hiring the right people for the right roles, turning this ever-evolving vision into a reality that truly does help the world sleep better & be awake happier.
- EMAIL sleepwithsamhoward@gmail.com if you would like to collaborate in any way or just to share your email with us so that when we’re at that point where we’re organized enough to send out a regular newsletter, launch our show, start our nap truck prototype, etc, we can invite you to it all!
Sweet dreams & love love love,
Sam Howard
