FOLLOW THE SUN is an invitation to pay attention to what lights you up. To the ideas that won’t leave you alone. To the communities that pour into you. To the dreams that continue to call your name, even after setbacks, delays, and detours.
Within these pages you’ll meet artists, entrepreneurs, storytellers, and visionaries who are creating meaningful work not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. Their stories remind us that fulfillment isn’t found at the finish line. It’s discovered in the process of becoming.

![☀️ What does Follow the Sun mean to you?
We asked Michael Daughtry [@michaeldaughtrymusic] before he stepped onto our FRQNCY set, and his answer is just the beginning.
FRQNCY is our one-take live performance series—no crowd, no do-overs, just local FAYNC artists showing up as themselves.
Featured in our Summer ‘26 Follow the Sun issue, this session is all about betting on yourself, chasing what lights you up, and creating without hesitation.
