And that REAL friends of mine play my best friend and sister in the film, @shonauk @chelshightower (they are both so so talented & great in this film) 🥹 and this movie was brought to life by an incredible FEMALE-LED team... written, directed, produced, and filled with ridiculously talented women in front of and behind the camera. @rachelle_e_price @evie_keener 🎬 ✨(so freaking inspired by you both)

And yes… very grateful Emilio was secure enough to hold all that estrogen on set. 😂

This one is magical, funny, heartfelt, and such a special piece of our lives...

So this is 60.

I’ve lived a life that would sound made up if there weren’t so many witnesses. There have been wild adventures, questionable decisions, a few reinventions, and stories best told after the second bottle.

From PR and advertising to roasting coffee, opening a speakeasy, and writing a novel, I apparently confused “slowing down” with “opening something else.”

It hasn’t all been easy, and I haven’t gotten everything right. But I’ve taken chances, laughed my ass off, and built a life I couldn’t possibly have planned.

And then there’s my wife, Kira. Of all the unexpected turns, ending up with you is the one I’m most grateful for. You’re my best friend, my partner in this beautiful insanity, and somehow both the voice of reason and my biggest enabler. We’ve built businesses, chased crazy ideas, traveled, and laughed our way through a life neither of us could have predicted. I love your heart, your brilliant mind, your wicked sense of humor, and that we genuinely love being together—even after spending all day together. The adventures make great stories, but it’s the everyday life with you that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Sixty looks a hell of a lot better with you beside me.

And to my son and daughter: being your dad will always be one of the greatest privileges of my life. I love you both, I’m proud of the people you’ve become, and no matter how old any of us get, I’ll always be in your corner.

Now I get to celebrate with over 200 people from every chapter of my life. Childhood friends, college friends, newer friends, and friends flying in from around the country will all be together in one room. You know very different versions of me, and between you, you probably know far too much.

All kidding aside, that’s genuinely humbling. Taking time out of your lives, getting on planes, and showing up for me means more than I can put into a birthday post. I don’t take any of it for granted.

Thank you for being part of this crazy life—and for encouraging behavior we should probably all know better than to encourage.

Pour the good stuff. We’re nowhere near finished. 🥂

IF YOU LOVED THIS YEAR’S BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLIST, YOU WILL LOVE THESE SIX FORMER FINALISTS

the booker library is huge and i thought it would be fun to create pairings between this year’s shortlisted books and former finalists so that if you really loved a book, you’ll know where to look for more like it. the comparisons are not exact…some are based on themes and others are based on vibes. some include similar literary elements and others consider history in similarly fresh perspectives. regardless of where this takes you, i hope you find it useful!
