The Content Struggle is Real – How to Design Your Instagram Grid

The degree I chose, the internships I pursued, and the extra-curricular studies I engaged in revolved around that world. I was intoxicated with everything that went in to the production of an album, the logistics of producing a nationwide tour, and getting a hit single on the radio. Not…

Feeling the Fear and Going Ahead Anyway
The idea of blind confidence has always seemed elusive to me. Probably because I’m the type of person who finds myself feeling anxious in seemingly harmless situations. This notion of people being so confident in themselves despite a lack of skill or education is something to be both revered and feared. However, one has to admit there is power in having a lack of fear, especially when speaking about the…

Heading home from work on a Friday is a glorious feeling…until you arrive at your destination only to realize that you don’t remember the drive home. Life is an abundance of choices. From the moment we wake to the moment we sleep, we make thousands of decisions.

The World Does Not Revolve Around You

A Founder’s Struggle with Selfishness
I am completely selfish and self absorbed… and admittedly, my business is all about me. I’m selfishly obsessed with providing the drive behind the vehicle that makes people ignore traditional “work days” and weekends. Creating an environment where people love what they do creates a shift in thinking and blurs those lines. Small comments from a social post can give more satisfaction than any money or “big contract”. I am…
