Summer hums along in Bridgeport until a torn pharmacy bag and the clang of a garbage can lid redraw the map. We find Billy at Morrie's, tracing the line from Rusty’s hard lesson to the alley where self-defense stops being instinct and starts becoming a code. Word spreads. Small asks turn into quiet transactions. A returned radio. A stopped shakedown. Billy’s name shifts—from insult to promise—because he never goes first, never goes halfway, and always closes the account.

Then Rebar steps in. Calm. Precise. Relentless. Their fight lasts two minutes and echoes for years, stripping bravado down to bone. Billy learns power has limits, and sometimes the win is walking away breathing. The ledger changes after that—less about scores, more about balance. He moves quietly, feeds a stray named Butch, and carries restraint like a tool.

Drew Zagorski

It’s been said that Drew is a bit crazy. It’s probably true. (Well, OK, it’s a certifiable fact.) That said, when people think that of you, you can get away with a whole lot more. And maybe it takes a little bit of crazy to come up with outside the box ideas. That’s exactly what Drew’s done for more than 30 years in the podcasting, marketing, branding and advertising space. He gets it. For any creative to work, no matter how outside the box, it needs to be true to the core values of a business or its owner. At LeftBrainRightBrain, we call it being logically creative. It’s our secret sauce.
