My fiancé @car0hare I spent 2021 working with / encouraging / strategizing for each other. (While raising a young king named Myles.) @LinkedIn noticed our journey put us in a global campaign! My fave line: "dad life / work life / it's all life." We are beyond grateful!

JAŸ-Z once said “Nobody’s built like you - you design yourself.”  And he was right. So I thought it would be fun to dig a little deeper into that. Introducing Lab Notes - a special edition of my Creative Exercise newsletter. I have spent 20 years watching how creative people move - on stage, in DJ booths, in boardrooms. Lab Notes is where I break that down in more detail. Whether you’re a JAŸ-Z fan, a marketing aficionado or just part of the culture, I’d love for you to read it. substack.com/home/post/p-193…

Peter Bjorn And John – Living Thing (2009) The last album of the decade! PBJ returns with a tone that's even more distinct than SR—truly unexpected! With a bold and experimental sound, they did a major turning point! 🤖💬there is a special version remixed by @iamMICK that year🤖
