Hello friends and future friends.
Welcome to 100 Scoops.
It’s mid-2024, and my LinkedIn feed is full of creative professionals announcing their availability.
Thousands of talented people are out of work, wondering what happened, and what to do next.
Commercial creativity seems to be in crisis.
And I want to know why.
Is it a Covid hangover? A contracted economy? Inflation? Politics? War? Profiteering? AI? Agism? Social media? Streaming? Something else?
I’m going to have 100 cool conversations with creative pros to see if we can figure out what the hell is happening.
And I will film every conversation so you can learn as I go.
“I’m not just bringing a camera, I’m bringing ice cream cones.”
But I’m not just showing up with a camera, I’m bringing ice cream cones too. Because despite the current doom and gloom, I want these chats to be optimistic and joyful.
My goals for this adventure are simple:
1. Better understand the future of commercial creativity, especially as it relates to entertainment, advertising, and the creator economy.
2. Gather insights, ideas, and intel to help you discover delicious new opportunities and taste more success.
3. Meet good people and make new friends.
4. Get some great gigs.
And five, still fit into my pants.
