NYC Creative Week was a week for growth, and indispensable wisdom. By far the most valuable lesson I learned was the humble, simple truths found in human connectivity. We are entering an industry that values human truths and connection. BS is easily revealed. Looking up to value eye to eye connection is powerful, humbling, and telling of genuine nature in a person or thought. 

A special piece of wisdom given to me by Shannon McGlothin was: “Whoever cares the most wins.” Caring about the big idea in connection with humanity is a force weaved throughout good advertising, that separates an ad from a movement. Matt Eastwood reiterated Shannon’s wisdom by saying: “Passion trumps talent.”

My reiteration - Care to be humble and genuinely connected.
