Our inaugural interviewee, @jimcartwright (previously of @badxsneakers ), talked to us about staying inspired, his favorite music growing up, and creating work-life balance.

Today would have been their 50th anniversary. As sad as I am that they aren’t here, I AM glad they are together. Dad told me a long time ago that marriage is a choice you wake up and make every single day. Even on hard days, they loved each other and me and Jim the best they knew how their whole lives. Happy anniversary you guys! ♥️
Memphis!! Shoutout @kenziikenz and @crosstownarts for putting together such a unique mx supervisor weekend. Thank you for showing off your incredible music city and bringing together such a cool group of music nerds. Memphis more than lived up to the hype from all the great things I had heard - truly an IYKYK experience. Can’t wait to come back 🎶🎵
