I’m Gio — a multimedia storyteller, systems thinker, and the person behind Motivated and Miffed. I started this newsletter because I was tired of productivity advice that sounded great but fell apart the moment real life showed up. I wanted something honest. Something that actually worked. With 5+ years in communications and 10+ years in videography, I’ve built workflows that help real organizations move faster — including a system that saved $30K in a year, a TikTok post that hit 500K+ views, and communications work recognized by the Governor of Hawaii. I write Motivated and Miffed the same way I work: direct, a little miffed about the noise, and always hunting for what actually moves the needle.
