2023 - We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives and it also happens to be the first day of 2023.

Last year we lost a giant in the film industry. A trailblazer who was not afraid to take big leaps even though he may not have known exactly where he would land. Well, he landed an Academy Award for best picture at the 47th annual program. Gray Frederickson was a confident yet humble native Oklahoman who loved to help others. I spent many times in his office trying to connect the dots in the film industry, he would listen, lean in, and then tell one of his legendary stories just to let you know he has been there too. When you left his office you felt refreshed and just a little more confident than when you entered. Gray's remaining influence around the globe will remain for generations. May God Bless 2023.
