Creativity through the lens of a screen writer, Emmy nominated producer and podcaster

"Creativity is just creating something that wasn't there."

Adam “Tex” Davis graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 1993. A scant three years later he'd achieved great success -- as the night manager of Shaun’s Bagels in Manhattan. But soon after, "Tex" sold his first screenplay, Sunburned, to Miramax and his second screenplay Just Friends to New Line Cinema. Just Friends went on to become a cult, rom-com classic starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Farris. Other produced credits soon followed including Spring Break Lawyer, a made-for-cable comedy for MTV; and Gardener of Eden, a dark indie-comedy produced by Leonardo Dicaprio's Appian Way and directed by Entourage's Kevin Connolly.
For nearly 20 years, Adam has written, rewritten, or punched-up over 25 feature film scripts for every major studio in Hollywood... and Bachelor Party 2. In addition, Adam has sold original comedy television series to the WB Network, CBS, and Comedy Central.
Adam served as Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer for the Emmy nominated, genre-defining, global hit series Brain Games, for the National Geographic Channel. The success of Brain Games led Adam to co-form Atomic Entertainment, a full-service film & TV production company, for which Adam oversees creative content. Along with long-time friend, fellow NYU graduate, and collaborator Jerry Kolber, Atomic created the darkly-comic docu-series, The Internet Ruined My Life (SyFy) and Brainchild, a high-concept, kids' science/variety show, co-produced by Pharrell Williams for Netflix. Adam has also produced/ directed branded projects for Google, GE, IBM, Drone Racing League, Top Golf, Headspace & Conde Nast.
With dozens of original projects airing or in the works, including What’s Your Problem? and Making Magic -- Atomic continues its quest for global dominance.
In his spare time, Adam continues to write original screenplays and create series ideas. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, daughter, dog, cat, and fish.

Creativity through the lens of a certified life coach, professional horseman and author

"Creativity is what drives us. Creating our contribution to the world." 

Shane Jacob is the founder of The Horsemanship Journey and developer of Stable Living Coaching. The Stable Living Coaching Program uses principles seen in horses to help teens increase self-confidence, overcome stress and anxiety, and decrease the chances of teen pregnancy, depression, and addiction.  We also offer a companion program for parents, so they have less stress, less overwhelm, less guilt, and more peace. Certified Life Coach, Professional Horseman, Entrepreneur, and Author, Shane Jacob 
My feelings of inadequacy as a young adult led to drinking alcohol to excess on a regular basis. My excessive drinking led to a tragic DUI accident. My conviction led to incarnation. These results fueled my feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. I spent a few decades living in an alcoholic haze trying to cope. My excessive daily drinking diminished and eventually destroyed relationships, diminished earnings, diminished personal growth, and further fueled my beliefs. With the help of horses and God's hand, I stopped the cycle. If you seek change, know it is available, know it is doable, and know it's worth it. You are worth it.
