## Caption

You don’t need to build your life around content.

I hear so many of my friends and fellow creatives say they’re fed up with the whole content sizzle and ready to give up on it altogether.

I get it.

But what if there was another way?

What if, instead of creating content and hoping it leads somewhere, you decided where you wanted to go first?

Choose the people you want to build relationships with.

Think about the opportunities you’d love to create.

Then use your content to support that direction.

I don’t think “more attention” is the answer…

You just need a little more intention, Mo Fo.

I share some mad cool stuff over there for creatives looking to find a different way.
