An article I read a few months back began a thinking process I’ve been thoroughly enthralled by. It was written by Umair Haque and published in the Harvard Business Review last December. It’s called The Builders Manifesto, and while I don’t necessarily agree with everything in the article, I think the point brings up important key differences between what we might term in the differences of pioneering and discipleship.

A Surplus of Enigmatic Relaxation

Sometimes, it’s just that time. Usually early June, when global events are happening and people and place become tired of usuality. It probably has something to do with all those years of having nothing to do all summer but build forts, ride bicycles and get into trouble on a hourly basis. You feel it, I feel it, every early June the season is simply beckoning for a retreat.
It’s the vacation. It’s the Summer. It’s the best.
What(a.)Is Going On? (a.in the world)

You have probably, most definitely, been asking yourself some tough and interesting questions over the last few months, possibly the greater part of the last year that make your scratch your head in terms of collective global government and our world financial situation. I do not consider myself to be a political guru of any means and want to steer clear of hair-raising conversations. But intentionally I just want to share some thoughts and ask a few questions about the fascinatingly interesting financial mess we seem to have found ourselves in.
Shall we?
Yep, That Sounds Real Good

It’s always super nice when quality music pops up in the day-to-day of life. Especially music that treats your ears in a way vanilla ice cream with fresh, just washed, raspberries crushed in and throughout do with their natural inclination. So, indeed I encourage you to take full form of your musical disposition with the contents of this post’s glorious innards.
Writing is a lot of fun.
Apple’s Marketing Genius
Posted on 25 April, 2010 6:11pm | no comments.
What do you do when your entire marketing strategy, built entirely around hype, is 4 years deep in a ever increasingly tight mobile device war? When your product upgrades are annually predictable? When entire market shares hinge on the developments of your company and its device?
If you guessed stage an accidental unreleased product loss at a local bar by an underpaid junior product assistant, you won’t get the job as Apples next chief marketing strategist. Your behind in the game.
The !deation Conference
Posted on 9 April, 2010 11:45am | no comments.
Last summer I had the incredible opportunity to gather with some incredible individuals in Washington D.C. for an Unconference around the issue of Social Justice called Idea Camp. I was able to meet people working in the field and harness momentum for an idea that became Being Human Project. Then, sometime mid February I found out about Idea Camp on steroids or what was being called !deation Conference.

Great article from Dan Pallotta in the Harvard Business Review about the importance of being vulnerable as an entrepreneur.
