It’s that time of year again. The @braunfoundation is giving away college scholarships to children of first responders with @1strcf . Honored to meet these young leaders and support their journey and maybe have a little fun surprising them along the way. If interested in supporting this work please contact the @braunfoundation or @1strcf . Thank you to all those first responders out there and their families .
As the son of a refugee and the father of three, I never forget that my family’s story could only have happened because America opened a door.
This country isn’t perfect. It never has been. But for 250 years it has been a place where people from every corner of the world have come chasing something bigger than themselves…the freedom to dream, to build, to fail, to begin again, and to give their children a life they never thought possible.
I’ve watched this country change dramatically even within my own lifetime. We’ve broken barriers, expanded opportunity, and continued proving that America’s greatest strength isn’t that we’re flawless…it’s that we never stop striving to become a more perfect Union.
That’s why I believe this is the greatest nation on earth. Not because we’ve always gotten everything right, but because no other nation has given more people the chance to reinvent themselves, pursue extraordinary dreams, and build a better future for the generations that follow.
That’s the promise my family was given. It’s the promise I’m trying to pass on to my own children.
Happy 250th Birthday, America. Thank you for the opportunities, the freedoms, and the hope that changed my family’s future forever.
Happy Fourth of July. 🇺🇸
Dear Dad, thanks for giving us sports. Thanks for giving us basketball. Thanks for giving us the Knicks. Thanks for the long drives in and out of the city to the Garden week after week. Thanks for screaming at strangers and hugging loved ones. Thanks for telling us not to move on a run or making us change seats in a slump. Thanks for not changing our clothes on winning streak and yelling at refs on the tv to make the call when they can’t see the hand check or the travel. Thanks for the years of joy with Patrick, Oak, Starks, LJ, mason, Allan, and so many others. Thanks for sticking with them since you were a kid through the good and the bad times. Thanks for giving us the gift of loving this team and loving this game. Tonight we witnessed @jalenbrunson1 put on one of the greatest performances in history and he did it with his Dad next to him. I got to witness it with my Dad next to me. And now this pic will forever exist. And it makes sense… you like all the other great Knick fans are a part of this team. Love you Dad. Love the Knicks. And I love like the Brunson’s we got to share this all together. We got the chip. Bing Bong. Knicks in 5:)
What does Scooter Braun think about viral clipping campaigns? The Live Nation verdict? AI songwriting? Coachella payment plans?

Proud of this interview with Scooter Braun, where we get into the art of management, the management of artists, public perception, private struggles, and much much more.

Once in a while, a friend with courage and moral clarity says all the things you need to hear. Thank you @scooterbraun for your leadership and for using your voice to speak up for the millions of my brothers and sisters who are being silenced by blackouts and oppressive leaders.
