Comments on: A Coal Miner's Son http://chadmullins.com/personal/a-coal-miners-son/ This is me expressing myself Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:51:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Chad http://chadmullins.com/personal/a-coal-miners-son/comment-page-1/#comment-22 Chad Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:52:59 +0000 http://chadmullins.com/?p=116#comment-22 Yea, it's like time forgot some parts of West Virginia. There are still thousands of workers that come home every night with a black face and a light on their head. Hard working Americans, no doubt. Sometimes I still get caught thinking that I don't actually have a job because I don't get dirty. On the flip side, I have a harder time mentally letting my work stay at work, whereas the coal miners get to shower and forget the day. It's an interesting comparison. Thanks for the comment.

Certainly the work ethic, but also the idea that it takes something to make something. Coal provides energy for much of the U.S. As creatives, we provide a spark (if you will) of energy for our client's. It isn't easy. It's dirty, and it takes a LOT of work. In fact, I would even argue that some of the brand analysis work we do is dangerous. But when all is said and done there is a product worth the struggle. I'm sure there are many more differences that similarities, but I see some of this persistence in you, Chad. We'll keep digging, for our client's sake, and ours.
