Normally I keep all my ideas to myself and only share them with a select few. Protecting them until I can roll them out. But I recently watched an interview with Philip Rosedale who created Second Life and was inspired by his openness to not hold on so tightly to all my ideas. So I [...]
My friend Vince Marotte has just written an ebook Context and Voice. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with Vince a number of times, and God has filled him with amazing wisdom. I just simply love his approach to communicating. I’m only half way through it and let me just say I’ve highlighted a [...]
I have followed The Accidental Creative podcast ever since I first found it a few years ago, if you don’t subscribe…go subscribe now.
