So my brother was just mentioning a hugely creative artist that we needed to check out today. If you aren’t acquainted yet, I’d like to introduce you as well. Meet Sia. She’s a wacky Australian pop singer with great songs and some of the most creative music videos I’ve ever seen. This first video, Breathe [...]

More and more, I’ve been really digging on [...]
We had lunch today with Sam Davidson of Cool People Care (yeah, I know we’ve mentioned him a lot lately… he’s cool.). He helped us wrestle with the questions, “What exactly is Laughing Tree, anyway?
