Side Hustle Songs
During the pandemic, my wife and I started a business around an enrichment dog toy we invented: the Piggle.
To help grow our audience, educate dog owners, and establish authority around canine enrichment, we began to make a genre-hopping album of songs. However, we had to stop after two. Long story.
Each song focused on a specific behavior and paired with snappy copy to help explain why dogs do what they do.
And no, we did not use AI to produce the songs. We worked with real, fully sentient, carbon-based composers, singers, and a stellar audio engineer to bring them to life.
Why do dogs get the zoomies?
Because they need a fast, full-body release of sudden surges of stored energy and feels—i.e. emotional spiraling during bath time.
Why do dogs beg?
Because evolution taught them that human food is a high-value, unpredictable jackpot. And they know they miss 100% of the shots they don’t take.
20th Anniversary Video
2025 was Workday’s 20th anniversary, and the Mr. Workday wanted a video that would be used all around the world at all sorts of events to celebrate that. Their campaign at the time was Forward Forward. So we decided to focus on where we’ve been, since that’s the best way to see where you’re going according to some LinkedIn influencer.
Visually, the video was meant to feel like a slingshot being pulled back and then released to propel you into the future. And it does…kind of, but when Mr. Workday says the video is done, it’s done.
