Hey, I'm Bode.
Writer of musings.

Thanks for swinging by to check out my dogs, my ideas, my super fresh perspective and all the things that annoy me in life.

I can’t wait to share all the things you never knew you needed to know.

Have You Heard?

8THIRTYFOUR Integrated Communications.

We’re going to tell you your site is bad, your messaging is jargon, and stock photography from the 90s is burning our eyes. A trifold will not get you a client, and cold calling makes people hate you.

Weekends become the time you use to catch what slipped during the week, fix what’s broken, plan the next move, and think three steps ahead so you’re not cleaning up a mess later.

ADHD makes all of this louder and harder to navigate.

We're all navigating hard sh*t, and I, for one, am not going to pretend I have everything together.

It's time to normalize the hard stuff.
