The digital world is crowded and noisy. Anyone can claim expertise, but few have built something real – and even fewer are willing to open the hood and show their work.
Creator Unleashed exists to change that. We help creators build the skills, systems, and decision-making habits required to turn creative work into durable businesses.
I am David Viergutz, best-selling novelist and the CEO of multiple multi-seven figure creative empires, father, husband, Army Veteran and former law enforcement officer.
I turned a single creative idea into a multi-company empire in under a year, scale to $1M in just four months. Now, each week, I share what actually works so creators, CEOs, and small business owners can build their own empires – without wasting years learning everything the hard way.
Welcome to Creator Unleashed.
Our Beliefs
- Storytelling is at the heart of creativity.
- Creativity is a pathway to success, not a hobby. Creativity is a legitimate path to wealth.
- A leader, armed with a plan, a vision, and a story to tell is unstoppable.
- The future belongs to creative founders and the communities they build.
This is the philosophy that took my companies to multiple seven figures while letting me stay anchored in why I began: to bring my art to as many people as possible.
Why this had to happen
There's more information out there than ever – but creators don't need more content. They need clarity.
Creator Unleashed finds the intersection of creativity and business. We distill what actually works – the tools, strategies, and systems we've used to grow real, profitable creative companies.

About David Viergutz
Hi, I'm David Viergutz – bestselling horror author, creator of ScareMail CEO of Epistolary.com and founder of Creator Unleashed.
My companies now generate over $10 million a year in creative revenue, but that came after years of failure, painful lessons, and rebuilding from nothing.
Businesses scale because of systems, not talent. And why I finally understood that customers don't just want solutions – they want to feel something – everything shifted.
I discovered people will pay anything to feel something.
That insight helped me turn a few stories into a seven-figure direct-sales empire and laid the foundation for every company I've built since.
Creator Unleashed was built to share those lessons. To help creators who are willing to build, learn, lead – and grow something far bigger than themselves.
