Several years ago, I discovered the dynamic duo of Rhett and Link cracking up the interwebs via Youtube. Over the years, they somehow slipped off my radar. A few weeks ago, while searching for something else, YouTube presented me with a suggested video featuring Rhett and Link — and my evenings have been filled with hours …
The other day I walked into one of our phone rooms. We call it the red room even though we just painted it a really lovely shade of white. Cathy and Cordell were calling our LA office for an internal client preview meeting. I love these previews so I wanted to sit in. Well. The …
It’s no secret that I love social media. I love that it helps me stay connected to the people I love. I love that I get paid to help brands and organizations connect with kindred spirits by way of social. I love that it brings me no less than 45 dog-related tidbits of awesomeness per day. …
Emily Everhart is our gentle nudger at Brains On Fire (also known to some as an account executive). If she were stranded on an island and could pick one BOF employee to be stuck with, she’d pick Megan Byrd. In her own words, “If there was ever a person to convince cannibals not to eat …
I love this photo of Benjamin Hart from Brains on Fire LA (tall guy on the left) spending a day serving alongside our clients at SusieCakes.

This weekend I took stock of the things I’ve recently found myself talking about, sharing and being influenced by… …
This is Moe Megan in all of her floral glory! Moe is Brains On Fire’s puppet master and community manager! She’s a funny gal who loves gardening and #faffing. She’d love to learn how to make her own pots and espalier a tree (Google it – it looks pretty neat). Laura Garvin, a community …
Photo by Libby Williams. I’ve been thinking lately about the power of day dreaming and the role it’s played in my personal happiness. When I give myself permission to day dream, something remarkable always happens. I often inspire myself while I am dreaming “what if ” by reading little bits of wisdom from books or …

I read too much. No really, I sometimes wonder if I have a serious problem. I read when I am not eating, sleeping or working. I’m currently reading a book called Overdressed about our obsession with fast fashion. Whew. This book will make you take a serious strong look at the clothes you put on your …
Let’s Keep TR Beautiful dreamed about a ‘Before I Die‘ wall in Travelers Rest, South Carolina. Why stop at one? Why not five?

I get super attached to people No. Not in a creepy crazy way. That includes people who join the Brains on Fire tribe. Honestly it always hurts a little bit to find out that people you trust, people who work along side of you day by day don’t share their desires to move on to …
Wouldn’t it be nice if you and I were just wandering down this sandy path having a nice little conversation. Sometimes I think of these little posts like short morning walks. Photo by Libby Williams. One of the traits we’re all drawn to is confidence. We love people (and brands for that matter) that make …
What brought you to Brains on Fire? For my major at Clemson (Graphic Communications) we are required to have two internships before we can graduate. Every semester the department hosts an event called “Intern Employer Day” where companies in the field set up a booth for interviews. Personally, I do not like Intern Employer Day because most, …
