Any prospective client who reads this and doesn't put 2+2 together with the campaigns you've been posting, and doesn't call you right away, 2am, 7am, whatever am... gets a pass, a life's-busy-we-get-it-forgiven pass. Because they will cime calling when that 2+2 comes ringing in their ears. And any others who don't call you at all, ever, well, hell, that there's a gift of not wasting your time.
Cole, it’s a curious thing to feel a kinship with someone you’ve never met. I know you only through your words, yet I often find myself nodding as though we’re sitting across a table.
The urge to create, the courage to keep showing up, the gratitude for those who made our lives possible... so much here resonates with me. Especially your willingness to speak about faith and the struggles behind the work.
Thank you for sharing that part of yourself. Your words make me want to return to the page, trust what I have to offer, and keep going - kind of like the ancient Juniper Trees up here where I live. My silent teachers. I suspect you know what I mean.
Another banger, thanks Cole. "You should spend them like a trust fund kid with a bad coke addiction. Spend them all. Every last cent." This line, among some others as well, stands out. Bravo. Thanks for the reminder to put pen to paper...or fingers to keypad...

I hope you’re right.
Best yet. Even you are getting better at the craft. Respect.
I’m so glad I opened this email today. It was exactly what I needed to read and I think I’ll read it quite a few times in the future 🖤
Thank you, Sophie. I put a lot of heart and soul in this one. It feels good hearing it’s a piece you see yourself returning to.
Outstanding my friend. Riveting. Inspiring.
Thank you.

Loved this, I struggle with certainty and not knowing what is around the corner. I felt the force while reading the ending. Phenomenal as always Cole.
