Some of us just weren't built for the social media era, and we're willing to bet a stand-up comedian will one day make fun of our handheld glass tiles obsession. Your deep, rich story has no business being crammed into a 13-second soundbite (and that’s a good thing.)

We're unpacking a client's "Shark Tank" strategy that almost led to a life spent "pointing at invisible things".

This is our argument for the slow TV movement, where “social media” is really going, the power of stillness, and why your presence is the greatest commodity of all.

We're getting real about what we'll be proud of on our deathbeds, and it’s not the hours we spent posting on a handheld glass tile.
