Hi, I’m Scott Kranz – an outdoor photographer, filmmaker, educator, and speaker based in Seattle. Born and raised in Minnesota, I made the life-changing move to the Pacific Northwest in 2013, where the mountains transformed my life’s direction and calling. I’ve devoted myself to visual storytelling, capturing the beauty and power of the mountains and other outdoor spaces – where we work, play, and connect. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with some of the world’s leading brands and photographing on all seven continents. My passion lies in sharing the stories these wild spaces have to tell and inspiring others to explore and protect them.

I teach handmade business owners and Etsy sellers how to DIY and launch their own website. Save on Etsy fees, Improve your profits, and take back control of your business.

Co-Founder and Executive Leadership Coach at Pearlside. I’ve led teams for more than 30 years, from startup leadership to serving as Chief of Staff to the CTO at Red Hat. My work blends strategic thinking with hands-on experience helping organizations scale with clarity and alignment. I care deeply about building leadership teams that last.

Clear Conversations is a short, thoughtful newsletter for people who sit close to customers—sales leaders, managers, and operators—when things aren’t going as smoothly as they should. Each issue shares observations on clearly and calmly handling difficult customer situations: when expectations are off, trust feels strained, or an important conversation keeps getting delayed. No tactics. No hype. Just steady thinking for moments that benefit from it.
