inspiration is everywhere.

i opened the first page of my most recent Paper magazine and saw an ad that made my heart skip a beat and a smile cross my face. its an ad for Shinola, a company that makes handmade bikes, watches and leather goods out of detroit

i love businesses and people who prove that success is possible in your own backyard without selling out to big manufacturing processes.

it's more validation that I'm on the right path, and that I'm not alone. clearly other people share my values.
