    To my thought, North by Northwest is Alfred Hitchcock's most charming film. It has an affable lead in Cary Grant, a hazardous, hot blonde in Eva Marie Saint and a super smooth scoundrel in type of the radiant James Manson.

    Gustav Ahr, more commonly known by his rap moniker Lil Peep, wasn’t the first person I thought of to write about as a leader. He was a skinny 21 year old with most of his face covered in tattoos and serious drug abuse issues-- an eccentric figure that you wouldn’t initially think of to show “leadership” qualities.
