The Monday Morning Memo



Callie’s Cards is a ridiculously fun new business currently being launched by the adolescent daughter of Brian Brushwood, one of the Wizard of Ads partners. He shot this video with Callie in the tower at Wizard Academy. Here is what Brian says:

Callie Brushwood is fierce, fearless, and, best of all, funny.

She has the best deadpan delivery you’ll find in an 11-year-old, and a wry wit that lets her take a dark thought and wrap it in sunshine.

She’s at the top of every one of her classes, she’s taking courses on coding, and she has always, always had the heart of an entrepreneur.

At the age of 9, she was asking about her mom’s body when Bonnie turned to her, comically wiggled her fingers, and, as if she were casting a spell, intoned: “You too will get old one day!

Callie burst out with a full belly laugh and ran out of the room to create her very first “Callie’s Card.”

We’ve now got DOZENS of Callie’s Cards, covering a dizzying array of grownup thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

Maybe it’s because she’s the youngest of three girls.  Maybe it’s because she’s made of unicorn dust.  We don’t know how it happened, but she’s 100% serious about this.

Is Callie OK?
No.  Callie is not OK.
…Callie is freaking great.

– Brian Brushwood

Random Quote:

“The greater part of Men make their way with the same instinctiveness, the same unwandering eye from their purposes, the same animal eagerness as the Hawk. The Hawk wants a Mate, so does the Man – look at them both they set about it and procure one in the same manner. They want both a nest and they both set about one in the same manner – The noble animal Man for his amusement smokes his pipe – the Hawk balances about the Clouds – that is the only difference of their leisures. This it is that makes the Amusement of Life – to a speculative Mind. I go among the Fields and catch a glimpse of a Stoat or a fieldmouse peeping out of the withered grass – the creature hath a purpose and its eyes are bright with it. I go amongst the buildings of a city and I see a Man hurrying along – to what?”

- John Keats, in a private letter to George and Georgiana Keats, Sunday morning, February 14th, 1819
