As kids, all we want to do is play. Itā€™s how we figure out the world and our place in it. Then somewhere along the way, someone takes it out of us. A family. A school. A professor who had a lot to say about my wallpaper (Iā€™ll explain). Makinā€™ It episode three drops tomorrow. @jamesvictore and I talk about getting it back, with paint markers and a whole lot of mess. And yes, I finally tell the wallpaper story. What did you love to play at as a kid? Makinā€™ It theme song by my husband, @keiteyoung #MakinItWSuzy #CreativeExpression #Creativity

Check out what I unboxed beachside on Sunday morningā€¦ šŸ‘€ My book has arrived! Likeā€¦ my actual, real-life, hold-it-in-your-hands BOOK. I was so freaking fracking excited to open this beautiful box of books I genuinely didnā€™t know what to do with myself. Because LOOK. Itā€™s real, folks. My words are on paper. There are pages. There is a beaut cover that says HI thanks @jamesvictore Epic design by @judy_andrews_ Iā€™ve only been banging on about this for approximately 400 years. šŸ˜‚ I wrote a book. I WROTE A BOOK. And now it exists IRL. Iā€™m feeling a fairly BIG mixture of proud, emotional, slightly terrified and WTchuff right now. Do Volunteer: Find Community and Make an Impact launches in January with @dobookco but you can pre-order it now. Pre-order link in bio. I will now be staring lovingly at this box for the foreseeable future. Over and out. šŸ“ššŸ’™

Hundreds of posts, comments, conversations and, more importantly, real connections across the @brandbuilderssummit community. ā¤ļø I loved seeing people sharing notes, asking great questions, challenging perspectives, meeting new brand builders and actually putting ideas into action. If you want to relive the Summit or keep the learning going, Iā€™ve pulled together a few things for you, available in Summit HQ: šŸ‘‰ Full Summit wrap upā€ØšŸ‘‰ Article: 8 Ways to Become the Brand Builder AI Canā€™t Replaceā€ØšŸ‘‰ 2 free bonus Summit playbooksā€ØšŸ‘‰ A free session on how to run a virtual summit, including the strategy, structure and behind the scenes process. Oct 1st. And if you missed sessions or want lifetime access, the VIP Pass is available until Sep 24, then itā€™s gone for good. Already missing the energy. ā¤ļø Thanks again to every speaker, attendee, partner and community member who made this Summit what it was. JC

Oh hi there šŸ‘‹ We have a new title to announce! Excited to share that in January weā€™ll publish ā€˜Do/ Volunteer: Find community and make an impactā€™ by Toni Finnimore. Toni is the founder of @thesocialsocietyuk ā€” a volunteering and events company that makes giving back simple, local and fun. We met her at last yearā€™s @thedolectures where she was part of the brilliant team of volunteers (see image 3). Over her lunch break she told us how sheā€™d been working in the charity and public sectors for over 20 years and that current models werenā€™t working. Help was needed but first she had to challenge the idea of volunteering as something dusty, dutiful or done with a broom. Enter micro-volunteering. An hour here, an afternoon there. A specific skill offered when and where itā€™s actually needed. It means you start to give back in a way thatā€™s fun ā€” because itā€™s aligned with your skills and those things you feel passionately about, itā€™s more effective, and itā€™s sustainable. Toni brings this to life with her infamous ā€˜hackathonsā€™ with organisations like @1percentftp and @blueearthsummit where she brings together a room full of people and matches sharp skills with real environmental challenges ā€” and results delivered by lunchtime. If youā€™re interested the next one is during Climate Week in New York, Sept 21st! The book itself reframes volunteering, champions its value and ā€˜lights a path for how to get involvedā€™ for both individuals and businesses. Itā€™s for anyone who wants to give back but feels too busy, unsure or underqualified (clue: youā€™re not) Excited to have this as part of the collection. Weā€™ll share more over the coming weeks and months, including a cover quote from national volunteering ambassador (and national treasure) Anneka Rice.šŸ„° Do Volunteer: Find community and make an impact by Toni Finnimore is published 7th January 2027. Cover art by @jamesvictore and inside graphics by @judy_andrews_ šŸ“ššŸ’«
