Interview: Austin Hill and Akoha.org

April 3, 2008 – 12:48 pm

I was fortunate to be able to sit down in December with the amazing Austin Hill, Canadian VC and multi-time entrepreneur, to talk to him about the oldest form of economics: The Gift Economy and how Akoha.org (coming soon) fits into this. The video (embedded below) is well worth your time. Austin is a totally [...]

Better Barrels and the Creation of (super)Heroes

March 26, 2008 – 4:35 pm

[Refill your superhero supplies on Flickr by sodapop]
This has been one busy, yet transformational, month for me.
It all started with my participation in TED 2008 in Aspen, Colorado. TED, for those of you who haven’t heard of it, stands for Technology Entertainment Design, and it is an invitation-based conference. It is also, bar-none, the [...]

The Axis of Misery

March 2, 2008 – 10:59 pm

Misery by Mollyeh11 on Flickr
There are certain companies that, when I know I have to deal with them, a big wave of dread washes over me. In fact, there are INDUSTRIES that bring on this feeling. Industries like airline, car rental, telecom, cable, banks and storage always bring this on for me. Most of them [...]

Happiness as Core to Your Business Model

February 3, 2008 – 10:37 am

Did I say something funny? by Capn Madd Matt on Flickr
Chris and I presented a workshop at Web Directions North this week we had originally titled, “The Enterprise and Government in the 2.0 Era: What’s Next?”
Boring, eh? Well, we thought so. So, we sat down a couple of weeks ago to restructure the information we [...]

Dear Head, meet Heart…and vice versa

December 17, 2007 – 9:32 pm

…I think the two of you will really get along!

What I’ve observed over and over is the following disconnected conversations:
H: They aren’t legally obligated.
S: Doesn’t matter, it’s just not right.
H: Of course it matters, they aren’t legally obligated, so why should they?

H: So? They would [...]

Why the World Needs Heroes and Where They Are

December 4, 2007 – 9:50 pm

…or maybe it should be why I need heroes…

Rule #1 for Spreading Love: Don’t Diss the Competition

September 19, 2007 – 8:44 pm

Many companies have spent alot of advertising dollars to tell us what’s wrong with the competition.
