I remember all the way back in the 2000s, I got ahold of Mark Cuban’s email address and asked him for advice. His response? “I don’t believe in MBAs, go find something you love and be the best in the world at it.”

Self authorship is the philosophy. Creativity is the vehicle.

Apollo Creed was a savvy marketer.

1/6 I’m currently working on a monologue for a theatre production and I’m also working on a novel. The common thread for me? Constantly figuring out how to “show” and not “tell”. As I continue (re)watching Rocky I, I’m picking up on gems from Sylvester Stallone’s screenplay.

5/6 In under 30 seconds, with just one little display of behaviour you get a huge insight into his character and it sets you up to wanna root for him beyond him being the “underdog” against Apollo Creed later.

6/6 Great storytelling. And this from Sylvester Stallone as a first time screenwriter. Go back and watch older movies, keep an eye on the visual storytelling details. So much to pick up to use in your writing.

Currently (re)watching Rocky, the first one and in the first 10 minutes what do I hear playing in Rocky’s apartment when he comes home from a flight? Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang!

Malcolm Gladwell literally gave a 1-hour masterclass on why some people succeed and others don't and it will completely change how you think about talent, effort, and success.

Charlie Hunter playing D'Angelo's "The Root," wielding a a custom 8-string bass/guitar combo – the upper 3 strings are bass and the bottom 5 guitar – allowing Hunter to play both parts simultaneously. He co-wrote it with D’Angelo after jamming together to Jimi Hendrix songs during the “Voodoo” sessions at Electric Lady Studios.

JAY-Z breaks down a few of the double entendres in “Dynasty Intro” Bill Cosby’s son was murdered on a highway while trying to change a spare tire. “Knowing I can go, just switching a spare, On the highway to life, nigga I sharpen my sight” Ending with “sight” after the Stevie Wonder bars is insane.

This is crazy hearing the isolated guitar work that Raphael Saadiq and Spanky did on D’Angelo’s Untitled. Spanky doing his drippings with Saadiq dropping two layers of dirty guitars. Sounds like one was a sketch— him figuring it out and then the 2nd was him locking it in.
