One of my best friends – John Broderson a.k.a. Johnny B – died this week.

He was Small Biz Triage’s first hire. Copywriting, video production, canvassing, event marketing, etc… Johnny could do f-ing anything. Hell, I didn’t even know what a copywriter was until he bluntly explained it to me – “we spend six hours to write one line.”

Some of our clients favorite promotions, most successful ad campaigns and funniest videos were birthed from his stubbornly awesome creativity.

Wounds are still fresh, so I’ll end my short memoriam curtly.

Johnny B, I miss you bro.

Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.
