Max Bemis is best known for his time spent in the indie-punk band Say Anything. During their career, Say Anything released 8 studio albums while touring the world to a massive cult following of adoring fans whose main connection to the music was Max's honest songwriting and transparent storytelling. The core of Say Anything's message has always been illustrating the human race’s existential and psychological struggle and how it can be a positive force instead of one of dread. Max also has found a career as a successful comics writer, working for companies like Marvel, DC and Boom! Studios. Psychiatrists and psychologists traditionally have focused on the negative impact of trauma and tribulations; Max Bemis’s interactive online lectures will center around turning anxiety, depression or mental illness, the traumatic fringes of your mental state, and life experience into fuel for creation.
