Full Circle

After nearly 2 decades I have returned to my TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris family. It is an honour to sit alongside John Hunt and Reg Lascaris, undoubtedly Ad legends in their own right.

Why "The Woodshed"?

Because everybody deserves one. Let me explain. The notion of The Woodshed was first introduced to me in John Kao's 1997 book Jamming where he discusses the art and discipline of business creativity. Something that's very close to my heart. In Chapter 5 he discusses the need for clearing a space for creativity and introduces the reader to Charlie Parker's woodshed. Or, more specifically, whenever the great sax player needed to work out new musical concepts, he would withdraw from the usual people, places and things and "go to the woodshed". This may seem an odd phrase, but if considered for a short while you will find that you've probably been to your woodshed without even knowing it. When I was 7 yrs old there was a river a block away from our house in East London. I would run to it every other afternoon and spend the day either trying to catch crabs, doing homework, building bridges or playing in the mud with my Star Wars collection. The spot at the river ...

I'm not a huge fan of simply posting articles or links that I have found elsewhere with no insight, recommendations or personal comment. But this one has surely got to be the exception.

For the past few mornings I've witnessed the most magnificent sun rises over the water and rock formations. The decision to commute on the line is a no brainer when you look at it: [1] Productivity I have 2 more hours in the day where I can draw, write, create, listen to Podcasts, plan, internalise, structure and organize. You will find me deep in my Moleskine. [2] Travel Expenses A quick calculation shows that I am saving over 600% on costs. A monthly ticket costs me R190. Whereas I was spending approximately R1 200 on unleaded petrol. [3] Carbon Footprint Speaking of unleaded - I am also reducing my Carbon Footprint by catching the train. One less car on the M3. [4] Excercise The distance form the station to Greenpoint is about a brisk 15 - 20min walk each way. So I do get ...
