Corey Nathan started out as a stockbroker by day while studying at a theatre conservatory at night. Since then, he’s been an entrepreneur with one foot in business and one foot in creative pursuits having built such endeavors as a niche executive search firm; a theatre and film ensemble; a residential and commercial service company; a 501c3 to help folks during the pandemic; and most recently a new media/content company.
Much of Corey’s current work is focused on collaborating with people across religious, political and social divides to help understand and repair some of our culture’s rancor.
