Ad School.

The things I've learned from working at
(dysfunctional) agencies.

From rags.

The only way to get rich is make the richer guy richer.

Anywhere but here.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

But there just might be less dog shit over there.

Mixed Metaphors.

Mixed metaphors are as much a waste of time as beating a gift horse in the mouth.

Inspire.

Quit using that word so damn much.

Trust.

Good leaders trust their people to play their parts.

Flow.

If you have momentum, don’t give it up.

Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm over all else.

Oftentimes, it’ll be the only thing that might distinguish you.

Criticism.

Avoid prefacing criticism with vague, generalized praise.

Cut the bullshit. Give your criticism first, then end with as much real, specific praise as possible.
