Corey Blake is the publisher of Conscious Capitalism Press and the founder and CEO of Round Table Companies (RTC), a storytelling company. Prior to starting RTC in 2005, Corey was a professional actor in Los Angeles, acting in one of the 50 greatest Super Bowl commercials of all time and guest starring on numerous popular television shows including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Shield, and Joan of Arcadia. His work with books and graphic novels has yielded 15 independent publishing awards and mentions/features in the NY Times, WSJ, USA Today, Inc., Forbes, and Wired. Corey is also the creator of the Vulnerability Wall and the Vulnerability is Sexy™ card game. His documentary of the same name won 2017 Addy and Hermes awards for branded content.
Corey started his career as an actor in LA and within a few years was on the path to success with several high profile commercials and roles in primetime TV shows under his belt. He also began to produce his own small projects behind the camera, but something wasn’t feeling right to him. He was drawn to making his own way and the acting route was not one of autonomy. He moved to Chicago and started his own company and began other creative projects, leaving acting behind and hasn’t looked back. Today, he works with authors and leaders to promote their work and brands with his team at the Round Table Companies. He feels he is able to blend his creative instincts with his deeper needs to put his stamp on all that he does.
