Finishing the story
The recent story on FastCompany.com is the perfect place to add a little social media flavor. The image of Miles and me ripped apart and the suggestion that our relationship is not unlike a fresh divorce surely makes great copy and helps create traffic to the FC site, but it just isn't accurate. I've been divorced and the suggestion that divorces are friendly and then get ugly later doesn't jibe with my recollection. Or just about anybody I know that has gone through an emotional split. So the idea that Miles and I are civil now because the split is fresh is unlikely. We're civil now and say nice things about each other because we're friends. And that is something we both are planning to continue to be. I would love to work with Miles again someday if the stars align. Unfortunately, our friendship just isn't newsworthy.
I left advertising. I did. But I didn't leave Miles, and I don't plan to leave any of my other friends I've made over the years.
