Behind the scenes with the Child Poverty Action Lab today.

We spent the day filming something that matters, the interns behind CPAL's work, and the projects they're building to make sure fewer people in our city go hungry.

Every one of these interns is a hero. They're not waiting for permission or a title to make an impact. They're showing up, doing the work, and quietly changing lives across Dallas. Getting to point a camera at that kind of purpose is exactly why we do what we do.

Huge shout out to Toryn Williams and Ben Crenshaw for making this film beautiful. The look, the light, the care in every frame, it shows.

More to come soon. Grateful to CPAL for letting us tell this story.

New site. New portals. Same obsession with words that earn their keep.

https://goodword.agency is live — and it comes with something we've wanted to build for years: a client portal for every Agency of Record partner.

One login. Your content calendar, drafts, approvals, deliverables, reports, and invoices — all in one place. No more "which thread was that in?" No more waiting on a status email. You see the work as it moves.

If you're an AOR client, your portal is already waiting: https://goodword.agency

If you're not — take a look around the new site and see what we've been up to.

Some people are incredible chefs. Others are incredible leaders. Chef Kubilay Onder is both.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Chef Kubilay during the Turkish Tastes events in New York, and watching him orchestrate every detail with such calm, class, and excellence has been inspiring. Beyond his talent in the kitchen, he’s genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll meet.

Because of his trust, our team has been welcomed into rooms few people ever get to experience—behind the scenes with ambassadors, Michelin-starred chefs, industry leaders, and some of the finest Turkish seafood we’ve ever tasted.

This photo was captured during the Turkish Embassy rooftop reception overlooking New York City, and it perfectly reflects the elegance and hospitality Chef Kubilay brings to every event.

Thank you, Chef, for believing in us and for opening doors to experiences we’ll never forget. It’s an honor to help tell these stories.

The fear around AI in medical coding usually sounds like: "Will this replace me?"

Lakeyshia Moore, MBA, RHIA has a better question: "What can this free me up to do?"

Lakeyshia is Director of Coding Operations at Parkland Health, and she's one of four health-information leaders we sat down with for Health Information: Making Every Patient's Story Matter — a documentary series we produced as U.S. production partner for Content With Purpose and AHIMA.

In the film, She makes a case I keep thinking about: AI and human expertise aren't competing — they're meant to work together. Used well, it cuts denials, streamlines the workflow, and actually opens new doors in auditing and clinical documentation integrity. The coder doesn't disappear. The role levels up.

It's a profession most people never see, doing work that touches every patient's story. Getting to put these leaders on camera — and have a few million people watch — was a real privilege.

In Dallas, one in three kids grows up in poverty, the third-highest rate of any big city in the country.

That's the number Child Poverty Action Lab (CPAL) is out to cut in half by 2040. Not with slogans, but with data, systems change, and a stubborn belief that this is actually solvable.

We got to help the way we know how: behind the camera. Good Word Agency produced the video and photography for CPAL, the faces, the neighborhoods, the people doing the work, so the mission feels as real on a screen as it does on the ground.

This is the part of the job I care about most. Not making something look good for its own sake,helping an organization that's fighting for kids be seen, understood, and believed.

A clear story doesn't just sell. Sometimes it helps fund the thing a city actually needs.

If you want to see what ending child poverty in a generation looks like, CPAL's work is worth your attention. Link in the comments.

Most of us treat our profile like a portfolio. Something you send people to after they already know you.

But that's not what it is anymore. Your feed shows up on other people's screens every time you post. That's free distribution. The trick is just saying the thing you actually care about, over and over, until it sticks.

So here's mine: I'm passionate about helping creatives do their life's best work and building brands people actually believe. That's it. That's the whole thing. I get to do it through branding, video, web, and social, mostly for small-to-midsize businesses and nonprofits who've got something real to say and just need help saying it well.

I'll keep repeating that until I'm blue in the face, because it's true and because showing up the same way every time is how anyone remembers you.

What are you passionate about?

"Make the logo bigger" is never really about the logo.

It usually means: I don't feel confident this is working, and the logo is the only lever I know how to pull.

The fix isn't a bigger logo. It's a clearer reason to believe. When the message is sharp and the next step is obvious, nobody asks to supersize anything — because the page is already doing its job.

Designers: what's the note that lives in your nightmares?

We've reviewed a lot of websites this year. The same three things leak revenue on almost every one:

The homepage explains what you do but never says why it matters. Visitors understand you and still don't care.

There's no single, obvious next step. Five soft links, zero strong ones.
The copy talks about the company. The reader is looking for themselves and can't find it.

None of these need a $30k redesign. They need a clear-eyed read and three prioritized fixes.

That's literally a product now: we run your site through our audit + a senior review and hand you the three highest-leverage fixes in plain English. $750, and it's credited if you decide to do the bigger project.

The future of medical coding has a place for minds the industry overlooked.

In this conversation from Health Information: Making Every Patient's Story Matter, Tami McMasters Gomez (UC Davis Health) shares how coding careers can open doors for neurodiverse professionals — and how coders will work alongside AI as trusted second-level reviewers.

We directed and produced this series in the U.S. with Content With Purpose for AHIMA. A behind-the-scenes profession, brought to center stage.

I got tired of the way agencies sell.

A discovery call. A week of silence. A 14-page proposal. Another call. A revised proposal. By the time anyone does any work, a month is gone and you've spent zero dollars actually moving forward. So we did the opposite. We took the work we're best at and put fixed prices on it. Pick it, pay for it, we start this week. No quote required.

A $750 audit. A 2-week messaging sprint. A monthly partnership. You start where your brand actually is.

If you've ever wanted senior creative work without the agency process — this is for you.
