Grit, Guts, Gumption and the Art of More

And perhaps what’s more impressive IMHO... read more ›

Insider Interview with Macklemore — Staying Independent, Humble + Going Quadruple Platinum

As many of you who are regular readers know, I am longtime friend (and fan of course) of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Ben (Macklemore) and I get coffee at the same joint.
