Feeling burned by social media? Now, more than ever, creators and audiences can find comfort in authenticity and community. "One way to forge a connection is to provide a stream of content - a way customers can connect with your brand beyond just buying something." - Unboxed, S1E9

I feel social media fatigue intensely nowadays, and all it's done is isolate me from my friends. I'm drawn to the places where it feels most natural to interact with them, but it needs to be a safe place too. Topical - In S1E9, we reflected on how content drives demand (and grows community).

Been doing more Pencil value studies focused on light. So I worked on this portrait of @dannibelow.bsky.social which challenged me in fun ways.

Happy new year!! 🎉 🍴 My personal resolution is to try one new recipe a week. 💭 My professional resolution is to improve how I set expectations. Didja know... Both involve project management skills! Give this episode a listen and think about how to incorporate this advice into your 2025 projects!

Pardners that trail together, stay together 🤠

This is my and @jgrahammy’s 3rd year doing a year-end wrap-up for Unboxed, our gaming industry podcast. At every show now, we hear from listeners sharing what tidbit they learned from our work. I'm blown away every year by what we’ve done, but especially this year. Here's to much more in 2025!

It’s hard to believe this is our 3rd year writing this wrap-up thread! 2024 has been a wonderfully rewarding year for Unboxed. We’re so grateful for everyone who continues to tune in and all the new folks who have joined the conversation. Here’s what our mega year has included:

A charming woman told me I had pretty eyes this morning, so I’ll be riding that high for the rest of the year

With the holiday season running rampant, we thought: What better time to talk about the overlap of toys and games? 🎁 "Toyetic" is a buzzword that popped up recently. If you're curious what it means, give this episode a listen! 🤔 (Also: Find out what my and Jen's formative childhood toys were 👀)

S2 Episode 3 is live and it's about toys (who doesn't like toys!?) This is a fitting last episode of the year. It might have been my favorite episode to record to date. Nostaglia will do that to you. And maybe that's why Toyetic games are coming back with a vengeance 🧐
