Either way, you're curious. I'm W. Wade Hood — consultant, author, constitutionalist, off-grid tinkerer, and the guy who builds the thing everyone said couldn't be built.
First things first — I'm a Dad, a Granddad (Papa), and soon to be Great Granddad (Great Papa). That's the top of the stack. Everything else — business, art, chaos, wild projects — is noise compared to that.
I'm a proud member of the Red and Blue Nation — brotherhood, loyalty, and living outside the lines, written deep (if you know, you know). And we, the club, support Bikers Against Bullying: Suicide Prevention.
I'm also a stubborn constitutionalist — not the social-media kind. Civil rights, human rights, the stuff they stopped teaching. If that makes me the loud guy at the BBQ, then pass me a burger - heavy on the Onions.
When I'm not with family or brothers, I'm in the shop, chasing a crazy idea, or running ICL Business Consulting — flipping scripts and kicking doors down for clients tired of the same recycled advice. Think Bar Rescue, minus the TV crew.
Nine ventures, one guy who clearly has commitment issues about doing just one thing. Start with ICL — it's the one that pays for the rest of the chaos.
Innovative, Creative, Lateral. I don't solve problems the way everyone else does — for scrappy startups and seasoned companies both.
A misfit haven where conspiracies gather and the cool kids go. Caffeine-fueled community.
Starting a company but don't know where to begin? I've got answers — and flexible pricing.
Built for oilfield-adjacent companies navigating a very specific kind of complicated.
Standing up for the freedoms nobody else will if we don't. Currently being redone.
A not-so-well-kept secret society of all the legal-ish cool crap I've dug up online.
Event planning for the basin — graduations, birthdays, teen parties, adult parties. Covered.
Pronounced "Zen Nourish." Just because.
Also just because.
Metal/Bluegrass/Rap. Metal/Country/Rap. Genres that were never supposed to share a stage, doing exactly that. I play the vocal chords (with a few others) — And yes, The word play is intentional.
Four books in various stages of "actually happening." Here's where things stand.
A physicist from an alternate civilization builds an illegal time machine and rewrites her own history.
An oil field supervisor and MC state president turns his compound into a survival hub after the grid goes dark.
A boy vanishes in Nine Mile Canyon and turns up three weeks later with no memory. Ten years on, an ancient force starts waking beneath the ground.
No title yet, no synopsis yet — just started.
