I build brands with words and communities with heart. I try to be great at both. I'm also a husband and dad. I try not to screw that up either.

Your plans for growth are more likely to succeed if they include lifting others up as you rise.

Your influences are like coffee beans that you grind up and let percolate into your sense of taste.

Turn off the screens. Close your eyes. Let your mind wander. And your creativity will flow.

The idea in your head will change someone else’s life. Unless you never share it.

Create without fear. No judgement. No expectations. Only expression. Just play.

Commandment was my pick but drew a terrible post position. So, slotting in So Happy (honestly, for the name and backstory.)

My picks for the 152nd Kentucky Derby are No. 19 Golden Tempo to win. No. 8 So Happy to place. And No. 7 Danon Bourbon to show. Bet a trifecta box for me. @KentuckyDerby @ChurchillDowns

[Brian Thompson @BrandWriter]

Golden Tempo is the best deep closer in the race this year, which I feel good about given a fast pace.

Follow your curiosity and you’ll be surprised where your ideas take you.

We don’t have to disagree about everything.
