I'm a copywriter and community builder. I try to be great at both. I'm also a husband and dad. I try not to screw that up either.

Happy 18th birthday, @creativemorning!
On October 11, 2008, 70 creative humans gathered at @hugeinc (then still small!) in DUMBO, NYC, to hear our very first talk by Carl Collins.
Who knew that little gathering would grow into a thriving global community, an infrastructure of generosity and creativity, and a powerful friendship engine?
I love you, CreativeMornings. And I love every single human who has helped shape you, nurture you, and bring you to life over these 18 years.

"It's a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstrap..., Martin Luther King
This Dr. King may not be known to many of you but he should be. Listen to the man in his own words tell you what he thinks.

This has been a heartbreaking year to be a Jew in America.
There is a fire in this country. Either we pour water on it, or we pour gasoline. That is the choice every one of us faces right now. Because fighting antisemitism and all forms of hate is the responsibility of every American.
