Where the writing lives. Readings, zines, the Burn Tapes and the books Aaron is writing, set by one mind and printed in Riso. This is the door for editors, readers and publishers.
Visit the press roomAaron Berth is a Milwaukee strategist and the founder of Dopamine Furnace Creative. He runs Burn Sessions, short paid sessions to stop the spiral on the thing you can't put down, and plans trips as a Fora travel advisor. His approach: fierce kindness, not Midwest nice.
I'm Aaron Berth, a Milwaukee strategist and the person behind Dopamine Furnace Creative. Bring me the thing that has you spiraling, or the trip you keep not taking. I'll tell you you're pretty, and then I'll tell you the "but." That's the part you're paying for.
Aaron Berth is a Milwaukee strategist and the founder of Dopamine Furnace Creative. He describes himself as his own target market. He's queer and AuDHD, runs on a creative brain that runs hot, and builds for people who already know what's stuck and are tired of carrying it alone. His door is open to anyone, and judgement stays outside it.
His background covers both sides of the door. He spent years in hospitality with brands including Starbucks and Marcus Hotels, and worked in marketing at Northwestern Mutual. He serves on the board of Brady Street Business Improvement District #11, and he's a travel advisor with Fora.
Through Burn Sessions (15, 30 or 60 minutes, by video) and custom trip planning, Aaron helps people decide, start and go. His line: you've got the spark, and he's got the matches.
