Sarofsky Labs are back!

Chicago-based one-stop cross-media production company Sarofsky is opening its doors and inviting the world-at-large to take part in a series of educational opportunities. The ongoing workshop series is entitled Sarofsky Labs.

Company principal, creative director and director Erin Sarofsky, explains her reasons for lighting this fuse: “After speaking at global creative conferences including FITC, F5, DesignThinkers, the AIGA National Design Conference and OFFF, I realized that engaging in the community is just as important to the field as doing the work. What better way to do that than by opening up our studio and inviting talented people in for a workshop? It’s intimate, personal, and offers invaluable working experience inside our world.”

Jonah Hill, thanks for the life-changing “Stutz” documentary

Last October, Netflix released a feature documentary directed by Jonah Hill. It instantly leapt to my attention through the platform’s recommendation engine, but its buzz reached me from all directions. Still, it took my wife bringing it up in January for us to make the time and screen it together. For the record, it has changed my life.

Even in the trailer, Hill acknowledges the oddness of “a patient making a documentary about his therapist” (his words). Beyond that, I find Hill to be a fascinating and multi-talented person, and Dr. Stutz to be a bona fide gem. Even more specifically, with his process and his tools, the good doctor has helped the filmmaker immeasurably. To bring those tools to the attentions of others and facilitate understanding, Hill presents them methodically, then uses his own experiences to bring the lessons home in some surprising and authentic ways.

Sharing Secrets: Rocking the Remote Revolution

I freely admit to being a pretty big fan of Malcolm Gladwell. Still, like many people, his recent comments on The Diary Of A CEO podcast left me wondering exactly why he was trashing the idea of working from home. In the episode’s headline, he blames this phenomenon for “destroying” us. Within the in-depth conversation with host Steven Bartlett, the New York Times best-selling author overtly doubts our abilities to contribute to society, to fashion meaningful lives, and to engage professionally, from outside corporate offices.
