Dr. Nolan Forbes is a scholar, storyteller, and advocate dedicated to one mission: empowering people to master both their digital world and their inner self.
At 34 years old, holding a PhD in Business Psychology, Dr. Forbes understands that true success isn't just about technical skill—it is about resilience. He bridges the gap between the logical and the emotional, using his background as a Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect to make complex technology accessible, while using his psychological expertise to help others navigate the human experience.
A prolific author of over 40 books, Dr. Forbes creates resources that help people grow. His comprehensive Dictionary series empowers readers to master cutting-edge tools like Generative AI, Rust, and PowerShell. Meanwhile, his deeply personal works, such as Mislabeled and Echoes of Adversity, offer a compassionate hand to those facing childhood trauma, LGBTQ+ identity struggles, and the journey of self-acceptance.
Currently, he is expanding this mission through LION STAR, a media company dedicated to sharing impactful stories. Whether he is breaking down code or breaking down stigmas, Dr. Forbes writes with the belief that knowledge is the ultimate form of empathy.
He lives in Austin, Texas, with his dog, where he continues to write, research, and advocate for a kinder, more understanding world.
