Life Didn’t Teach Me. It Mugged Me and Stole My Ego.

Life Didn’t Teach Me. It Mugged Me and Stole My Ego.

by Jason Dauphinee | Jun 26, 2025 | Reflections

Let’s start with a disclaimer: I’m not a psychologist. I hold no degrees in sociology or human behaviour. This isn’t science, it’s just the rant of a regular dude. OK, maybe not so regular. I’m 53. Canadian. Middle-class. Straight. White. A father. A creative...
AI Can’t Build a Brand, Because It’s Never Had a Broken Heart

AI Can’t Build a Brand, Because It’s Never Had a Broken Heart

by Jason Dauphinee | Jun 20, 2025 | Brand, Reflections

Let’s get real. AI can write a pitch, design a logo, build a website, maybe even spit out a tagline that sounds okay on paper, but let’s be honest, most of it still feels like reading a script written by a committee of polite aliens who studied Earth commercials on...

Hear the Sin

Every piece in the 8 Deadly Sins series now has a custom Spotify playlist to bring the emotion to life.Start with “Validation”, a sonic descent into our addiction to approval.

The 8 Deadly Sins of the Modern Era – #2: Consumption

by Jason Dauphinee | Jun 10, 2025 | 8 Deadly Sins, Reflections

You’re not hungry. You’re hollow. We consume at a rate the human body, brain, and soul were never designed to handle. Food. Media. People. Products. More. More. More. But here’s the punchline: We’re not full, we’re fucking empty. This isn’t about gluttony...
Your Brand Has a Personality. And If It’s an Asshole, People Will Notice.

Your Brand Has a Personality. And If It’s an Asshole, People Will Notice.

by Jason Dauphinee | Jun 7, 2025 | Brand, Reflections

Let’s cut the crap. Brand isn’t a logo. It’s not your typeface. It’s not your tagline plucked from a late-night brainstorm with stale coffee and shattered dreams. Sure, all that stuff matters, but only once you’ve got the real stuff figured out. The guts. The pulse....

🔌 You ghosted your own life.

Not because you’re lazy.
But because you’re tired. Burnt out. Numb.
Because the world keeps asking more of you, while giving you less in return.

This is the third entry in The 8 Deadly Sins of the Modern Era, and it might be the most relatable yet.

It’s not about phone addiction.
It’s about what happens when we stop feeling altogether.

Most brands don’t need a rebrand.

You think serenity is found in silence?
Nah.
It’s forged in the storm—when everything screams at you to lose it, and you breathe in anyway.

It’s not soft.
It’s not delicate.
It’s a fucking superpower.

This piece was born from that truth.

This one is for anyone clawing their way out of the dark.
Not with noise, but with grace.
Not with certainty, but with colour.

We don’t always rise loud.
Sometimes, we just start glowing again.

Ghosts of Kyiv
In war, not every hero is real.
Some are born of need, of morale, myth, and memory.
We don’t honour them because they lived.
We honour them because they helped us survive.

This piece is for every story we tell
to make sense of the senseless.
To believe in courage, even when it’s made of smoke.

It’s not about lying.
It’s about surviving.
About performing the version of you
that keeps the peace, wins approval,
and doesn’t ruffle feathers.
But there’s a cost to always being agreeable.
Eventually, you don’t know what’s real anymore.

Numbness is survival.
We call it resilience, but it’s frostbite of the soul.
Some of us are drowning in the cold, quietly.
Not because we’re weak,
but because it’s the only way we know how to breathe.

This piece was born from the noise. From the endless loop of voices, likes, and rage.
We don’t hear each other anymore, we just wait to reply.
This is what it looks like when conversation dies and confirmation bias takes its place.

Some people are so good at hiding their pain, you forget to look for it.
Not because they want to be invisible—but because somewhere along the way, they learned that no one really listened.

This is for them.

“Some silences scream louder than rage.”
Not all pain is loud. Some of it just sits inside you, quietly wrecking everything.
This one’s for anyone who’s been carrying that noise alone.

💬 What silence are you still trying to ignore?

I live and create on land that was never mine. These are the unceded territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən Peoples, stewards of this place long before my story began. I am a settler. A descendant of colonizers. And I won’t soften that truth to make it easier to swallow. One of my daughters is Métis, with Cree ancestry. Through her, the story of this land lives in my bloodline now. Not metaphorically. Literally. She is the bridge between what was taken and what must be restored. This isn’t a box I check. This is a vow. To listen harder. To speak with care. To create with conscience. I will spend my life unlearning the comfort of silence. Because real reconciliation isn’t polite. It’s relentless.
