John Williams 🎸’s Post

Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to do what I love most for an important cause. 🤘🏼🎸 Founded in 2009, Law Rocks is a chartiable organization that brings together badass and musically gifted legal professionals to raise money for local non-profits. What was once a stand-alone show is now an annual and international tour to do good. 🌎 In 2024, Law Rocks has raised over $7 million for local charities in 13 different cities across the globe! Thankful for my friends Lindsey Lund and Evan Lund who invited me to sit in with their electrifying band, La Fete Du Funk. It was a pleasure to help support Uniting Voices Chicago, which unites youth from diverse backgrounds through music. Can’t think of a better way to raise money than by playing a SOLD OUT show at Lincoln Hall. Special thanks to Alana Swaringen for the incredible pictures seen below! 📸 #LawRocks #UnitingVoices #Charity

“Anytime I think anyone feels imposter syndrome, like ‘I don’t know enough’ - NOBODY knows enough. It’s all new, all the time.” - Lizzie Black, VP National Sales at KARGO on working in AdTech. Super interesting listen whether you work in the industry already or want to get in. I owe Lizzie a great deal of thanks for bringing me onto the KARGO team. She’s been an incredible friend, boss, and mentor. As mentioned in her episode, careers aren’t always a straight path and can take you in directions you never knew you were headed. Thanks for sharing your story, Lizzie!

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as a Media Strategist at Kargo!

CTV ads and painting horses. 🐴🎨 Last week was Kargo’s annual sales offsite. The team traveled out to Scottsdale for two days of learning and fun team building activities ahead of a big year. Following several inspiring presentations about the future of the company and how we’ll get there, we hopped on a bus headed out into the desert for an activity none of us expected. Enter Hunkapi. Since 1999, Hunkapi Programs, Inc. has aided those suffering from traumas with a remarkable equine therapy program. This program helps heal, improve resilience, and decrease feelings of fear and anxiety while promoting healthy social engagement in a setting more dynamic than traditional therapy. The group covered reading body language and matching emotions. We talked through letting go and trusting those around you. We even had the chance to get up close and personal with these incredible animals: petting them, feeding them, and yes- painting them (with non-toxic paints of course). I’d be hard pressed to find a word other than “special” to describe this experience. What Hunkapi is doing is truly special- not only for those they help heal in unique ways, but those who work there and get to experience the magic daily. To me, Kargo carries a similar sentiment. The culture, the people that make it what it is, and the differentiated product we put out in market. Thank you, Hunkapi, for having us. A special thanks to our leadership and events teams for planning such seamless trips packed with unforgettable experiences. 🙏🏻
