This is what I’m doing now-ish

"There's almost nothing I love more than Storytelling |Discovery | Culture | Design. If life and work goes to plan Shapeshyfter will eventually become a men's lifestyle, design studio." - Alexander "ManyFace" Dolly
Projects
One - Building Shapeshyfter (My own personal version of Monocle with interests in men's lifestyle, La Dolce Vita and design.)
Two - Building a design studio (Step by step process journaling the creation of a design studio)
Three - Project World Building (Turning brand building into a art movement)
Four - Youtube
Five - Instagram
Six - Free Game (Picking up Virgil Abloh's brand building training where he left off)
Also Building
- Building a personal knowledge management system both in Notion and Obsidian. Notion makes me wanna bang my head against something not soft.
Learning
- Italian
- Creative Direction
- Becoming a better storyteller. I’ve listened to hours of David Perell’s Podcast. Check him out… Start with …
- Learn a New Way of Storytelling in 72 Minutes — Will Storr
- An 80 Mins Masterclass in Communications — Lulu Cheng Meservey (she’s stunning, amazing personality)
- Meet Pulitzer Prize-Winning Stanford Professor – Richard Powers (Personal Fav)
Life's Madness & Anxieties
- Daily battles with ADHD. A pesky tiny hamster living rent free in my brain … Mr. Hamster loves pushing and pulling random levers like he’s operating a starship solo.
- HOT & LOUD in North Carolina. Between the near Florida level humidity and Cicada screams... eek
- Trying to watch less news. 😵💫😵💫😵💫

Big Move
Back to NYC to really focus on Shapeshyfter. I'm toying with the West Village or Soho. Tons of eateries and drinkeries around those parts.
Reading
Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Persig.
In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
Otherwise
Making work for myself or tackling client work like a mad hatter.
Now page inspired by Scott Boms by way of Derek Sivers... he's cool.
