Now that I’m good…

I coach my 8-year-old daughter’s softball team. I love it, though I have to be careful to straddle the line between pushing her to do her best while still ensuring that she’s having fun. After all, Poppy is 8. Poppy liked softball, but I wouldn’t say she loved it. Until…

So, ageism is a thing

We recently started an apprentice program for those looking to learn more about advertising, branding, and agency life — but this is not about that. This is about one woman who torpedoed her own interview to ask two of our designers a vulnerable question: “Why won’t anyone hire me?” Katy…

The stakes have never been lower

Almost every time I write, record, or post something, I hear this little Noid in my head say, “Haven’t they heard enough from you, dude?” Which is and isn’t true, I am sure. My team and I have been committed to posting content over the last 5+ years, and we…

I’m going to stop using my age as an excuse not to be awesome.

I bought this bracelet the other day while tipsy shopping. Tipsy shopping is much more fun than sober shopping, which is just shopping. You never know what you’ll end up with when you’ve had a few adult sodas and the inhibitions expire. I ended up with a bracelet that is…

Packs

I love packs, because — like everyone — I long to belong. I don’t just join them, though; I like to make them. I make packs like I smack my gum — instinctively and unaware. …

I don’t want to win the lottery. Srsly.

This morning as I left for work, my wife said, “Maybe we should buy a lottery ticket? It’s up to $640 million.” We don’t buy lottery tickets, but that’s a lot of cheddar. You could change a lot of lives with that cheddar. But, in my heart, I have no…

You know what you call a millennial?

I have this cool old watch from my grandfather. It’s small and intricate and like nothing I’ve seen before. You have to wind it. My grandfather Gerard got it after spending more than 30 years doing something with valves at White-Rogers in Affton, Missouri. Can you imagine working for a…

You can’t fix what you won’t face

I am writing about this because I don’t want to write about this. The more uncomfortable I felt about it, the more I felt I had to write something — even if it’s not very good or insightful. I just know that not talking about it is no longer an…

Sticker Status

I love stickers. They’re so simple, so satisfying to remove and apply. I think a sticker can also be thought of like a tattoo. They’re personal, and though the first one is a huge decision, everyone after that feels a little less crucial. …

Big opportunities for the small

For the last few weeks, I’ve been battling with AT&T about slow internet. Does anyone actually have fast internet? Because if you do, screw you. And, also, how’d you do it? I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever had really, truly fast internet. Maybe I did my first year of…
