The irony of the Ulta/JCPenney salon discourse is watching people flee the unprofessionalism they’ve spent years defending only to seek refuge in institutions that enforce the very norms that were protecting them. Turns out professionalism does have value. LOL.

Stop expecting people to read between the lines.
If you want something, ask.
If something bothers you, say it.
If the answer is no, say no.
Clear communication makes life a whole lot simpler.

Underrated life skill: Refusing to let one person’s bad mood become yours. Negativity spreads fast, but so does optimism. Protect your energy, then raise the energy around you. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can bring to a difficult situation is a better attitude.

🚨 Huge social media job alert!!! 🚨
Like, $220k - $290k huge.
I'm helping @LumaLabsAI hire
their first ever Social Lead.
This is a big job. You'll head up their social efforts. That means building their first-ever proper social team, working directly with C-suite, owning all social media efforts across all platforms, collaborating with their Influencer team—it's the wholeeee thing.
The tool is crazy powerful. Basically, Luma builds AI agents for Creatives & Marketers, and it’s specifically built to make high quality video, images, and writing to revolutionize the entire production process.
Some extra fun: you'll be interviewing with me. I've consulted for Luma this last year, helping them get ready to be special on social. We've laid some groundwork, built some plans, but it's clear they need a big brain on the books—someone inside the machine.
The details:
- Base pay: $220,000 - $290,000 / year
- 10+ years experience required
- Location: SF or LA, maaaaaybe NY for the right candidate, and pleaseeee don't ask me "what about [this place I live]"
Apply via this link (and mention me when you do), tag people here who'd be great at the gig, and my DMs are open! jobs.ashbyhq.com/lumaai/8209…

40 is a very fascinating age... A lot of people start reflecting on their lives when they hit their 40s, they think they've already "peaked." Truth is...40 isn't even halftime yet.

Major cheat code for life: Knowing when something is not yours to fix. Their mood. Their choices. Their drama. Love people, support people, but stop carrying what was never yours to hold.

The brands worth following were never trying to please everybody.
New essay on conviction, belonging, and why "we don't want to alienate anyone" kills more good brand work than any bad creative decision ever could.
