What COLOR is your VOICE? 🎨
(Have you ever thought about it for your voice?)
-
I asked this at @blackweekofficial
-
The answers gave us a whole palette.
-
🔵🟣Blue-purple. Crisp.
🟢Green. Grounded and rooted.
🟡Golden yellow. Sunshine in the room.
⚫️Black. Because it is EVERYTHING.
🩱Teal. Bright, fun... with depth.
🟣Purple. Soothing and comforting.
🔴Red. Passion and energy.
-
Listen to the WHY behind each color.
-
That’s where the person comes through.
-
Human Voice is the ORIGINAL TECHNOLOGY™️.
-
And as AI learns to speak, we need to keep asking what it should NEVER take away from the human voice.
-
Your turn!
-
What color is YOUR voice... and WHY? 👇🏽

Issue 05 of The Masthead Strategy is out! This one goes deep into how to figure out if an investor is right for you. And The Investor Brain this section goes pretty deep this week. Check it out at the link in my bio. And thanks to my friend @haroldph for putting exactly how I feel into the simplest words.

Next Venture Summit is September 15-16 at Judson Mill, and this year’s conversations are all about a shift in mindset.

Less AI hype. More asking what actually works.

What does it look like when founders choose profit over funding, efficiency over headcount, and real change over chasing trends?

That’s what we’ll be digging into with this year’s speakers and Expert Match Day professionals.

Take a look at who’s joining us, and get your tickets before prices increase next week!

Last week, Sparkhouse hosted a 2-day Designathon where local youth came together to tackle a real issue impacting our city: teen takeovers.

Day 1: Ideate 💡
They connected with one another, shared their concerns, heard directly from city officials and community ambassadors, learned how AI can be used as a tool for problem-solving, and heard from local entrepreneurs about how they’re using AI in their own businesses.

Day 2: Build 🧱
With the entire day to collaborate, create, and develop their ideas, the teams presented their solutions to a panel of judges—and they came up with some seriously impressive ideas.
And who knows… you might just see some of these solutions come to life in the near future. 👀

A huge thank you to every youth participant, mentor, speaker, judge, city partner, and everyone who helped make this experience possible.

Meet Harold Hughes: he built Bandwagon, made the hard call to close it, and came back with Divi, an AI-native platform opening up private market investing to everyday people, not just the already-wealthy. He also runs NFNTE Capital, whose entrepreneur programs are used by the University of Texas, Yale, and the NBA, and co-founded Catalyst Labs to help early founders build real community around their companies.

He's an active angel investor in 30+ companies, including Liquid Death, AG1, and Partake Foods, plus a few Broadway shows for good measure. He's spoken at SXSW, is repped by multiple national speaker bureaus, and tells his story, building, closing a company, building again, as honestly as anyone you'll hear from this year.

Harold's joining our panel on changing the investment landscape at Next Venture Summit.

Join us September 15-16 in Greenville. Get your ticket: nextgengvl.org/next-venture-summit

Kinda chic: Kids Edition because who has time for early mornings and somehow doing hair every. single. day. 😩⁠
⁠
We’re making mornings a little easier with the Hairbrella Kids Collection — for shower/bedtime, sunny days, and all the hair moments in between.

AI literacy is a survival skill for the next generation of founders, operators, and innovators. The students who learn to think with AI, not just use it, will enter a workforce their peers aren’t prepared for.

That’s what our AI Readiness program is built to do. Not teach students to code. Teach them to think critically, create intentionally, and lead responsibly in a world that’s already automated. Every other school has students ready for this. The question is whether their school is ready for them.

What would it mean for your students to leave your program AI-ready, not just AI-aware?

Where have we been!? 👀

Short answer: a little bit of everywhere.

Headlining events. Living in airports. Showing up for our people. Building with women across the South. And shooting content!
