A New (End Middle) Beginning
I rebranded by accident.
Not entirely by accident, of course. But there was quite a bit of serendipity involved.
I’ve never used a slick stage name or a meaningful phrase to represent my personal brand. The right concept remained elusive, so my name has been my brand.
A Ridiculous Card For Every Occasion
Ridiculous times call for ridiculous greeting cards. I decided it was my solemn duty to provide some new options.
The Inspiration Unicorn
The Real Cause of Imposter Syndrome
Many talented people have dealt with imposter syndrome. It’s the uneasy feeling that you’re not nearly as good as other people think, that you don’t deserve your success, that you’re a fraud who will be “found out” at any moment and your life will come crashing down around you. Imposter syndrome takes “fake it ‘til you make it” and turns it into “I’m still faking it and nobody seems to notice yet, but it’s only a matter of time.”
Find Your Surf
I’ve always been drawn to the romance of surfing. Or at least my own romanticized version of it.
I love how surfers are so dedicated to finding that perfect wave. I love how surfing is the first thing they think about when they wake up as the sun rises. I love how they use surfing as a sort of Zen meditation, a way to disconnect from the troubles of the world, become one with nature, achieve a kind of inner peace. I love how that inner peace and one-ness gives them patience as they wait for the best waves. I love the idea of living in eternal summer, never really growing up or needing to “go back to school” and fit into the restraints of society.
