Hi,

Rabbit rabbit! First thing to say on the first of the month—I’ve heard it brings good luck….

It’s that time of the week again. Do you tend to read these when they come into your inbox in the morning or do you read them later in the day…or the next day…or over the weekend? I’m curious, please share if you get a chance.

Noting for You 🖋
Down the Road Productions

Down the Road Productions is a video company I met recently through the networking group, The Connective. They’re based in Ohio with their owner fresh from years of top-tier work in NYC. I like their approach to working with clients and their ability to storytell via video as unique as each brand they feature. If you’re looking for a video partner, check them out at www.DTRP.co and you can learn more about owner/director/producer, Andrew Anthony.

I hope you enjoy the long weekend and that September is a good month for you and your team. Stay strong, stay focused, and keep grateful—it’s very healthy.
