We live in a fantasyland:
$100,000 Salary is awful
$1,200 sq ft houses aren't starter homes
Going on 1-2 vacations/yr is not enough
9-5 jobs are all terrible
$80,000 Suburbans are normal
Boomers are blamed for everything
Meanwhile, almost half the world lives in poverty.
Maybe we've lost perspective.
My agency (https://t.co/8Wcn3jHPjz) did the design for Zohran’s campaign.
While I wish I played a part, it was all the masterful work of my partners, Aneesh and Phil.
Having worked with these 2 for close to a decade, it’s no surprise they created what many consider (the most?) iconic political branding.
I’ve seen Aneesh go deep into the archives of typography and color theory, and Phil spend hours custom-building animations to bring a UI to life.
HYPED to see their work getting the credit it deserves.
A major cheat code in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.
Everyone has a lifetime accomplishment they are after. When you get it, you’ll realize that isn’t what life is about at all. This is 5 minutes of pure gold.
JJ Spaun said he started today going to CVS at 3 a.m. because his daughter was throwing up. Ended it winning the U.S. Open on Father’s Day.
Maybe the most dad life Sunday of all time.

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: You can get pretty damn far in life by just doing what you say you’re going to do. Be someone people can count on to show up and do the work. Reliability is the cheat code. Stop overcomplicating success. Show up, do the work, repeat. That’s it.
