  • On Rejections & Resumes
    Jun 19 2025

    Rejections: we all know the feeling of them too well. Resumes: many of us have had to make them time and time again. How do the two go hand in hand? And how do we not let either of them define us? "THE Guy" Garrett and Emily talk about jobs they were sure they had (but didn't end up getting), ways to show who you are beyond a piece of paper with your accomplishments, and not defining your self worth on whether someone chooses you or not.

  • Chasing the Algorithm
    Apr 14 2025

    Being subservient to the algorithm sucks. It especially sucks when art & creativity are stifled by these numbers that determine what is and isn't seen. This week on NJAG, "THE Guy" tackles how we can approach trying to tell our stories in a time when it feels like you have to play ball or not be allowed to play at all.
