What a lot of people don’t know about him is that he used to be a rabbit. Just an ordinary, everyday farm rabbit. Then he ate a magical carrot that transformed him into a fox. But wait, you say, he is not a fox, he is a human. Well, wait until you hear about the armadillo wizard...

Privileged dude who had his parents money and business to get really good at social advertising right before it really took off. Lots of confidence and curses a lot. Timing, luck and I’m sure hard work. That’s it. He thinks everyone can do it, but he forgets about his life compared to others.

SC2 - i feel ya. i guess he’s just trying to focus on what people have control over. kinda like we keep saying to focus on your portfolio and keep pushing the work, if you’re looking for a job.

I did a gig at Vayner, and hear what they tell you with a NDA on the table the very same day you join: he used to be a rabbit.

All the hype around him is his own hype about himself

here’s the truth: he tried email and search early on and got lucky, like a guy who dug in his backyard and struck oil. then he was smart enough to keep playing on those white spaces, in a time when it was cheap AF to try.

timing, luck, the freedom to take risk, and the balls to try.

now he’s using the same platforms to build himself into a brand so that he can leverage it to create his own businesses. and he has the life experience that proves it to people who are looking for answers.

he’s not stupid. he’s not even bad at what he does. he’s just got a sweet spot and he keeps taking the shot from the same spot.

He wears a beanie, which means he has the power to communicate with Gen Z.

His godlike charisma and go-getter power

this is the answer. he is a workhorse and has a brash charisma that stands out in the industry. plus, his investment and experimentation history gives him cred.

that’s why he’s hyped. like him or not.

He is useful in helping people see that the corporate game is entirely made up and the “rules” on how to play it are pretend. He’s obnoxious because some people believe he has the answers beyond that realization, and he does not.

One thing they don't prepare you for when you're getting into advertising is the extent to which being a cheerleader propels you. I'm not a misanthrope, but I'm definitely not naturally wired for cheerleading and it for sure has had an adverse impact on my career.

So a client who brought me on for a rebrand/relaunch has shifted his social media in house to his friend’s 17 year old son. Despite his age, the kid has less than no clue, the posts have typos, I presented some concepts based on certain elements being in place...he ran with them despite those elements not happening...I should sit back and laugh(ok grin). But now I’m hearing people think this is MY work typos and all. FYI I’m talking typos like “your” and “you’re”, see our latest “add”, etc
