Welcome to The World of Doug ​

By trade I’m a writer, motivational speaker, social media brand consultant and content creator. I’m a connector, an influencer and a trusted source.  I have a passion for style, skin care, grooming and what I like to call self-care (exercise/meditation/mindfulness). ​

Social Media

I have been perfecting the art of social media for 10 years in fashion/beauty/lifestyle, for myself and on behalf of big brands.  I launched all of Saks Fifth Avenue’s social media in 2009. Since then, I have worked with many recognized brands; either launching their social presence, giving it new life from a content and strategy perspective or doing branded street style videos and Snapchat/Instagram takeovers at events.  Some clients include: Aveda, ED by Ellen DeGeneres, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bond No. 9 Fragrances, Macy*s, Lord & Taylor, Joe Fresh, Rachel Zoe's DreamDry and Bandier.  I've written fashion blogs for Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor and Joe Fresh. ​

Journalism

For the last 12 years, I’ve also worked as an on-camera reporter and print journalist in various capacities. I contribute to Fox9’s The Jason Show doing lifestyle segments.  I have covered press junkets via video for Time Warner On-Demand + PlumTV and Vogue Italia (covering the Met Costume Gala).  I was the top freelance reporter on the red carpet for the New York Daily News for over 5 years.   Between video and print, I have interviewed many celebrities including Madonna, Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Obama, Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lopez and yes, Kim Kardashian (and Kanye before they were an item).​​

In addition to writing my blog theworldofdoug.com, I also contribute to MSP Magazine, Artful Living Magazine, Bravo.com and The Hollywood Reporter.  I have personally been featured in The Star Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, Hamptons Magazine, Gotham Magazine, Fashion Week Daily, Manhattan Magazine, WWD and Fox News.​​

MINDFULNESS COACHING

10 years ago I began dabbling in self-help and fell in love with it because it really worked for me.  I started writing about my experiences and successes with self-help practices in a very real and transparent way on theworldofdoug.  The more I learned tools for coping with anxiety and stress and wrote about them, more people wanted to know about them. After a few years my life's path took a very interesting turn - I started getting asked to give motivational speeches on self-care, stress and anxiety. This led to me designing workshops and small group coaching sessions to empower individuals and businesses to grow and prosper through self-reflective work. I break down meditation and self-help tools into easily approachable ways for people to try them out.  I remove barriers to entry like “I don’t have time” or “it’s hard”.  Most tools take 30 seconds to 3 minutes to raise your energy and shift your mindset!  I’ve been speaking and teaching these topics for the last 5 years and demand continues to grow. People want to feel good, be present and enjoy life more. I help them with that.
