INSIDE THIS ISSUE

3 LETTER FROM THE TEAM It's Andrew and Megan's last issue as your

Leadership Team of LDP Connect. We start off the issue with a few words of gratitude for your "putting up" with our outside-the-box approach and why we chose our closing overall issue theme of creativity. It really has been a great and fulfilling ride together! 6 SOMETHING INTERACTIVE The Connect Committee first takes a deeper dive into creativity, both in and outside of the workplace. As part of this dialogue, we've included some quotes from LDPs on what creativity means to them and further discussed with over 50 LDPs during last month's Connect Conversation. 13 SOMETHING EDUCATIONAL We next explore the world of our emerging competitors, led by the likes of business titans such as Bezos, Hastings and Zuckerberg. What can we learn from Apple and Google, among others as we broaden and evolve our own core business? 16 SOMETHING INFORMATIVE It's been over one year since we formally added WarnerMedia to the AT&T family. Let's take a look at some of the creative ways we've collaborated over the year that followed. . 21 SOMETHING COOL We sat down one-on-one with our friends at Cricket Wireless to discuss their innovative work culture and leadership. We then visually captured a day-in- the-life at their Atlanta HQ and explored some of their unique sponsorships too.

24 SOMETHING SOCIAL

Welcome LDP Class of 2019! In what's become typical LDP Connect fashion, we take fun angle in introducing and getting to know our newest members. We then have some of the usual photos of the rest of us "old timers" out and about.

34 SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE

New pets, promotions at the office, weddings and other life events, and again all within our own LDP.
