Doubt isn’t a warning. It might be a message.

It lives in all of us, waiting for our next chance to craft. Ideally in a different shape that is not driven solely by the bottom line but informed by good intent & guided by people who understand both what moves creative industries forward & HOW to sustain them in the long run.

[Shannon Studstill @studstills]

It's never been this brutal.

Behind every layoff are thousands of human stories... a leader trying to stay steady even as the team they built is pulled apart, a teammate feeling the loss of close partnership, various people still at work wondering if their efforts even matter.

[Shannon Studstill @studstills]

Because even in the hardest seasons, the instinct to build, to create, and to imagine something new together doesn’t disappear.

[Shannon Studstill @studstills]

Not every team needs more direction.
Sometimes, all they need is stability and a steady presence to anchor the pace of their fast moving machine.

I miss you, Pops ❣️

Happy Father’s Day.
You’re with me every day… woven into how I learn, how I live, how I lead, and how I love.

Remembering the life and career of Pat Studstill:

A WR for the Lions from 1961-67, he owns the franchise record for longest TD reception (99 yards). Before Calvin Johnson matched it in 2012, he also held the NFL record for most consecutive games with 125+ rec. yards (5 games).

You won’t always recognize the moment.

…trust is what turns uncertainty into a path.

The risk becomes the career.

~ Belief at the Center of Trust ~

All we need sometimes... is for someone to say:
I see you. I believe in you. I trust you. Go build.

What do you hold onto when everything shifts?
After decades building creative teams through reboots and reinventions, I’ve learned this:

Trust is the only thing that carries through.

So rad to see these two on stage together.

GOD OF WAR was first released 20 years ago today for PlayStation 2.

[Shannon Studstill @studstills]

Here’s to you Bruno!… and to every single developer who helped us shape this legacy over the past 20 years. You’ve all built something timeless. Here’s to 20 more! #GodofWar

[Bruno Velazquez @brunovelazquez]

20 years ago the Ghost of Sparta was born. My journey with Kratos began as a fan and I feel extremely blessed and lucky to have been part of @SonySantaMonica for many years now. I want to send a special thanks to all the fans who have supported us throughout this adventure as well as every single developer who has contributed to this franchise over its 20 year history. Here is to 20 more! 🙏 #GodofWar

[Mihir Sheth @youtheremehere]

Zoooooooos

[Black Thunder ⚡️ @BT_BlackThunder]

Happy 20th anniversary God of War 🥳

[The Midgard Chronicler @MidChronicler]

Behind every amazing franchise are the people who make it. Their talent, creativity, skill and passion allowed us to enjoy brilliant games for 20 years. To all at Santa Monica Studio, Ready at Dawn, and everyone who'd ever contributed to God of War through the years - thank you!

[The Midgard Chronicler @MidChronicler]

No fictional world in existence has touched my soul as much as God of War, and no character means more to me than Kratos. The joy it's given me is hard to overstate. I'm so grateful to everyone who's ever touched it.

Happy 20th, God of War and Kratos! Here's to AT LEAST 20 more!
