My name is Kevin Barnett and I'm the founder of Cool That and what you're looking at is the first annual Cool. That real time brunch, a brunch at for a celebration around fatherhood are important to continuing to uplift the voices in the dialogue of the men in our community. So today, we're celebrating Cool Jazz man. It's our celebration of fatherhood. It's a great local community organization that exists to transform negative stereotypes around black and brown feathers. And Duncan, this is for you. Thank you. And here's your flowers right here. I'm a husband, I'm a father, I'm a mentor, I'm a friend, and as of today, I'm an official cool down. You know, from professional standpoint and a personal standpoint, it really speaks to my heart and I'm honored to be a part of it.
Wow, what an incredible honor for Julian Duncan at the CoolxDad Brunch! It's inspiring to see fathers like him making a positive impact on their children and communities. Happy Father's Day to Julian and all the amazing dads out there!

Last year, The Veterans Art Project (VETART.org) orchestrated a remarkable event in Sacramento, California - the Art Cafe Pop-Up. This initiative stood out as a beacon for veteran engagement, offering a platform where veterans across California could amplify their voices and forge stronger community ties through the medium of art.
The event underscored the critical role of creative expression in combating isolation and facilitating veterans' smoother transition into civilian life. From Ehren Tool's poignant ceramic cups to Tonya Savice's journey of discovery in art as a therapeutic outlet, each participant brought their unique narrative to the forefront, demonstrating the profound capacity of art to heal and communicate.
🎨 Key Highlights:
Ehren Tool, a USMC veteran, showcased his cups, a project since 2001, emphasizing the connection and shared experiences among veterans.
Tonya Savice reflected on art as a vital tool for mental wellness and self-expression.
Artworks ranged from wearable art by Carolina Hernandez to "Boots in Transition" by Phyllis Thomas, each telling a story of transition, resilience, and hope.
The event also featured collaborative activities like drum circles, emphasizing the importance of collective healing and shared stories. We're grateful for the support from the Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission (MHSOAC), enabling us to reach and uplift veterans throughout California.
This video is a testament to the Veterans Art Project's mission to use art as a bridge for veterans transitioning back into civilian life, highlighting the undeniable impact of creative outlets in fostering mental health and community integration.
👉 For professionals interested in supporting veteran communities or exploring the intersection of art and wellness, this video serves as a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together.

How are you doing?
This simple question can make a world of difference. As Elmo recently reminded us on social media, taking the time to check on people is crucial. In fact, his post generated over 187 million views and 40,000+ replies. It's a gentle reminder that people want to know they're seen and heard.
So, take a moment today to ask your colleagues, friends, and family how they're doing. Let's continue to build a supportive and caring community.

We have some haters in the building!
At least Jack-in-the-Box and mayonnaise do. And they're using it to their advantage in their latest ad placements.
Have you ever felt like the more other people DON'T like something... the more you kinda like it?
Maybe because it feels underground and less mainstream that way.
Well, that's the strategic positioning NotMayo is using in their campaign "MayoHaters" to show how closely their product tastes like Mayo (which they're hoping will in turn entice true mayo lovers). Quite a roundabout way to get there. But I love it.
Jack in the Box is also touting the big hate they get in their "Smash the Haters" campaign.
Both are trying to create this cult following that thrives off others hating it. Some people like to deviate from the norm and the brands are coming across as relatable, tuned in, and cheeky by tapping into that.
Gotta love an interesting strategic insight derived from social listening and research!
