After walking past this record album, picking it up, studying it, and placing it back on the rack for weeks and weeks and weeks, I was sooooo excited when I gathered some of my paper route earnings and headed to the little record store in small town U.S.A. to purchase H***y Chateau.

After quickly pedaling my bicycle home, I removed the shrink wrap and opened it to discover the intricate gatefold design, photography, and liner notes. It was unbelievable. Then spinning it for the very first time was honest and epic. And repeat. Again. Again. Again. And again.

I have always loved this album and equally loved that complete sensory experience. I still do. As we flip the calendar 54 years ahead, technological advancements in digital downloads are undoubtedly convenient. Still, convenience alone will never compare to the truly interactive, personal, and tangible experience of seeing, touching, and hearing an album—especially that very first time.

The perfect day.

After discovering that two of the original wheels had a slight bend, the gal was fitted with new shoes this week. She was upgraded to OZ Gran Turismo HLT wheels and Toyo Proxes Sport A/S tires. What an incredible ride.

I purchased my first Volvo this week and spent much of today detailing the exterior. She’s a 2019 V90 T5 R-Design. I think it’s fair to say I am seriously smitten.

There is nothing more genuine or fulfilling than making the time to truly and intentionally listen to someone.

Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in The Robertson School of Communication's Mentorship Day, connecting one-on-one with several soon-to-be college graduates. We spoke candidly about their passions for creative work, their ambitions beyond graduation, and their desire to build careers where their storytelling can make a meaningful impact. It quickly became one of the most rewarding days of my year.

While each conversation was personal and unique, one theme kept surfacing: impostor syndrome. Nearly every student shared it openly. And honestly—how relatable is that?

Even after decades in the creative industry, I still have days when I question whether I’m doing it “the right way.” As a lifelong learner, I don’t think it ever fully disappears. Unlike many other professions, creative careers rarely follow a fixed, linear path. There’s no step-by-step how-to manual or a clearly defined roadmap to artistic success.

Instead, each journey is deeply individual—shaped by uncertainty, exploration, and continual growth. And that lingering question—am I good enough?—isn’t a weakness. It becomes part of the process that pushes us to refine our craft, stay curious, and keep evolving.

That tension between doubt and determination isn’t something to avoid—it’s the very thing that builds confidence, resilience, and long-term creative sustainability.

Communication today is often reduced to acronyms or the search for the “right”—and often unoriginal—emoji to replace genuine emotional expression. Taking the time to deliberately listen—and respond with thoughtful sentiment rather than catchphrases—reaffirmed why I care so deeply about working in higher education at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Each individual’s path is unique, and returning to the basics often provides the clearest way forward.
