Dramatic change in your business doesn’t come from a tweak here or there. It comes from chaos, creative shifts and the question: “Can we actually do this?”

Ep. 006 of @srslynowshow is all about the big wins, and a BIG fail. There’s a kid peeing in cup, a 4-hour promotional bus ride with no AC and so much more to unpack in a 19-min episode. Link in bio.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Who the fuck gets paid to work among their best friends? I wake up every single day knowing I get to work alongside—and collaborate with—the most gifted, kind and remarkable humans in the world. Honestly, I’m the lucky one.
At the agency, we always say that we “only raise badasses,” and one of our biggest rockstars, @codymerritt, is now moving on to @awecollective alumni status, making a bold move to grab an incredible new opportunity in California. It seems like only yesterday that Cody first joined our family as the sharp—and ever-stylish—young college intern (go Devils!) who immediately hit the ground running. Already a “badass” on his own, everyone he worked with instinctively understood his future wasn’t simply bright—it was, frankly, immeasurable.
When Cody’s internship ended post-graduation, and he went on to study abroad in Spain, to say it was a bittersweet moment, and that everyone at Awe was a little heartbroken, would be to make a gross understatement. We were openly obsessed with getting him back, stalking his every move upon his return that one summer.
Cody’s career with us since as been astounding to witness first-hand. Managing some of the agency’s biggest and most noteworthy campaigns, and yes, challenging clients, all with the ease of an industry pro with twice the amount of time in the career, he was unquestionably born to lead, inspire, and raise little badasses of his own.
For me it’s again bittersweet. I’m jealous of all that he’s accomplished, and continues to accomplish, in such a short period of time. However, I’m also just so fucking proud. Humbly, it’s an amazing day when a colleague becomes the mentor.
Cody is passionate, driven, thoughtful, and inspiring. He lives his life with a sense of grace and vibrance that can’t be taught. Los Angeles is now the lucky one—and we all get front-row seats to witness his next chapter taking shape, and see his next conquest come into focus. All, of course, with envy, support and love.
Cody is majestic, and we all get to watch him rule L.A.

Yikes! A buddy (not pictured) had a lot to say publicly about a business’ branding earlier this week – and it was some pretty heated stuff. But if the business is booming, does great design even matter at all? Shelby and I unpack the drama and share 3 ways that businesses have succeeded, without great design. (But why would you want to?) Listen and follow at @srslynowshow.
