“Storytelling has been Lamar’s greatest skill and most primary mission, to put into (lots of) words what it's like to grow up as he did—to articulate, in human terms, the intimate specifics of daily self-defense from your surroundings. Somehow, he’s gotten better.” from Pulitzer.org

all parents please chime in as you see fit!!! 10 things i’ve learned as a new dad 1. calm is a superpower – stay around a 3-5 on the temperament scale. if you ever hit a 6, they’ll know you mean it. operate at a 7+ all the time? you become white noise. 2. the kid is joining your world, not the other way around – (shoutout to my mom for this one.) don’t reinvent your life—integrate them into it. 3. everything is a phase – the tough moments? they’ll pass. the best moments? soak them in. they’ll pass too. 4. your energy matters – babies pick up on everything between you and your partner. which is why #1 is #1. 5. appreciate the stress—it’s a gift – even when it doesn’t feel like it. raising a little kid lets you see the world new again. 6. happy and healthy are the only things that matter – everything else? just noise. 7. take all the pics – you’ll never regret having too many. 8. talk to them like a real human, with kindness – they absorb everything. how you communicate now shapes how they engage with the world. 9. pick your battles – be strict on what actually matters and chill on what doesn’t. if you’re always saying no, the real “no” loses power. 10. teach “please” and “thank you” with eye contact early – one of the best life skills you can give them. bonus hot takes • bring them everywhere & let them nap on you. • take them out early. first week? we brought ev to a restaurant. • sleep training is brutal, but it works. • baby proof within reason, but paying attention is the best baby proofing. • introduce them to your music early—ev got nas & now she loves noah kahan. • be ready for boob pumps. just be supportive. • time crawls… until it doesn’t. the nights are long, but you’ll blink and they’ll be walking. • hot take – strollers are overrated. strap that kid to you & go.

stay sturdy, keep going ❤️

“sui generis” my friend john might lose his restaurant, its been in this soho basement for over 20 years and feels like youre in an old yacht, there is nothing else like it, but Prada may kick them out i’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversary’s, you name it on top of countless businesses dinners and met virgil abloh there once too i asked john if i could use Lure as a studio of sorts to have interesting conversations with brilliant people and hear from some of Lure’s most loyal patrons what this place means to them that’s how i was able to sit down with Ken Burns who is arguably the greatest storyteller in modern history and one of my creative hero’s one of my all time favorite hugs happened at lure with the one and only @Kelz Washington 💚💚💚 sometimes our favorite restraunt can become part of us, this place has become a part of me over the past 10+ years, and i’m taking on a bit of a mission this year to help ensure @Prada does not shut them down comment @prada and i’ll pick one of yall to get a $200 gift card for a meal at Lure on me ❤️

kinda thought this was a crappy response based on the question i got from a friend at linkedin, but it blew up over there, never seen a 10+ mil post before so wanted to share here just in case it helps anyone here too love yall ❤️

some of yall have lived a thousand of these with me, and the only reason i was able to keep it going, aside from your support and encouragement (especially kelly jane’s) was because i idiot proofed it for myself and never tried to copy anyone else’s verbatim just a friendly reminder to do what makes you happy and serves you best ❤️

for my mom ❤️

i know there isn’t a single post that i could write that would eradicate this, but i do hope these help. i’m still in shock that the last 11 years of my life happened and that it's been 24ish years since my first real job. as someone who never expected to work for themselves, please let me be a bit of a sherpa for you to feel better about being in the muck of a career journey. its super weird along the way and you will encounter all kinds of superheros and monsters, but there isnt anyone else out there better than you or anyone worth being scared of. if you dont have your shit together, you can get it together if you want to. if you have your shit together and still feel lost, same… you think i dont have massive doubts about all of this? i didnt even know my last job existed when i took my first job and my current job is one i never was seeking. we all feel lost because we don’t know where we are going and that is a good thing. enough rambling for now, its getting later into snack hour and i do also want to call out the slide that touches on attitude being a skill. i just gave you the cheat code on that. use as you see fit. i love you all and can never thank you enough for giving me the chance to do all of this. much love, timm
