The digital world is crowded with noise. Everyone calls themselves an expert, but few have built something real – and even fewer share what they learned along the way.
Creator Unleashed exists to change that. We help creators learn the skills and build the systems needed to turn creative work into thriving businesses.
I am David Viergutz, best-selling novelist and the CEO of two multi-seven figure creative empires, father of two, husband, Army Veteran and law enforcement veteran.
I turned my creative ideas into not one but two empires in less than a year - scaling to a million dollars in revenue in just four months.
You are guaranteed to discover something new each week as I try to give creatives, leaders, CEOs and small business owners what they need to build an empire.
Welcome to Creator Unleashed.
Our Beliefs
Most will tell you that the best lessons learned are those learned the hard way. But I like to believe that an informed business owner, creator, CEO, leader ought to mitigate the risk of learning the hard way if possible.
We believe -
- Storytelling is at the heart of creativity.
- Creativity is a pathway to success
- A leader, armed with a plan, a vision, and a story to tell is unstoppable.
- The future is in the hands of creatives and creative communities.
With this approach, I have led my businesses to multiple seven figures while never forgetting 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 noise. 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 and CEO of Epistolary.com and Creator Unleashed.
My companies now generate over $10 million a year in creative revenue, but that growth came from years of failure, trial, and rebuilding from scratch.
I used to think success meant just making great art. But I learned that creativity alone doesn't build a business – systems do.
When I realized customers don't just want solutions – they want to feel something – everything changed.
Then I realized that I was looking at my business all wrong. Customers aren't looking just for solutions. They want to feel something after working with a company. And ...
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 scale from one idea to multiple companies – all bootstrapped, no investors, no shortcuts.
Creator Unleashed was built to share those lessons. It's where creators learn to think like CEOs, build real systems, and bring their art to life at scale.
My mission now is simple: to help every creator who's willing to build, learn and lead – and take them to the top with me.
