22,000 Wake Ups and Counting

My name is Don MacLeod, and I’ve spent decades in media, marketing, entertainment, and events, which means I’ve seen the serious, the absurd, and everything in between. 22,000 Days+ is a record of where I’ve been and what I’m noticing now. Not a diary, not a lecture—just my perspective.

This space is my way of pulling those threads together—today’s headlines, cultural moments that stick, and the occasional story from the past that still deserves a spotlight. Some posts will make you laugh, some might make you roll your eyes, and a few could make you think twice. That mix is the point: after 22,000 wake ups, the view gets interesting.
