“I like to go for walks with headphones or a camera every day. I think it's important to take some time to let your mind be still, to just breathe.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SAM MOSS
“Starting the day without looking at a screen. When possible, don't look at your phone or computer until after breakfast. I have never regretted this decision.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SPORTS DAY RECORDS
“Swim. I'm in Austin at the moment, living here in a very hot climate. Swimming is something you need to do to cool down and enjoy the sun. Whether it's just paddling, dipping, diving or doing some laps; you should 100% get out there.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MAGANA
“Go outside! Life is so much better when you have real air and real sun and all that good stuff. Maybe even go camping! But if you can't go camping... just make sure you go outside at least one time when the sun in shining.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ HENRY DEMOS
“The next time you travel, don't stay in a hotel, hostel, Air BNB, or whatever. Just see what happens. Yeah this might seem silly since you can book a cheap place in minutes now. Fuck that. The stories you'll come home and the people you'll meet will be well worth it.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ FREDRICK ARNOLD
“While I almost hesitate to suggest this, because I often wonder if I’d be happier if I could just settle for mediocrity, I think we could all benefit from disrupting the complacency in our lives.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JON DOYLE
“This one is hard. I'm still working my way through a haul of chocolates that good old Chris Cringle brought at Christmas (it's like Willy Wonka's storeroom in the house) so maybe I could recommend a few cocoa-based treats?”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JOSHUA JAMES AMBERSON
“So I suppose my recommendation is just a reminder (to myself as much as others) that the world is so big and has so many different kinds of people, and we shouldn't let our eyes get in the way of being open to it.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JONATHAN CHIN (CEREAL & SOUNDS)
“Stop worrying what everyone else is doing. Drink more water. Cut down on the caffeine (or at least I've tried to). Practice more empathy and cool it with the narcissism.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ LAUREN REARICK
“I'm a big proponent of reaching out to people you admire and saying hey, you do great work. Do that more.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DANTE ALLINGTON
“The Internet is cool as hell but so is outside. Go outside. Go sit in a park, or hike a mountain, or even chill at a bar. Just remember to unplug every once in awhile.”
HITS OF NOSTALGIA | A BUNCH OF SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS
These decade playlists provide a nice outlet for discovery and re-discovery. Sure there is enough old faithfuls to fill each mix to the brim, but as I’ve said before, the exciting thing about Spotify is how much new-to-me music from the past there is to explore.
