Upcoming eBook
I’m letting the cat out of the bag here. I’m just putting the final touches on a new eBook that has been in the works for about 6 months – it will be available on Clamorate.com next week. This has been a really exciting project for me actually! Here’s an unedited excerpt from the introduction. [...]
Speak Easy
I can’t believe it! CREATIVEMIX is three weeks away! Crap! I guess we better get to work! The 2011 CREATIVEMIX Conference is shaping up to be the best one yet! As always, it features some of Vancouver’s most creative minds (speaker roster below) and to say we’re honoured to have these top-dogs involved is a [...]
Action+Planning
I roamed the NYC streets with Martin in 2008. He’s an inspiration to me and I’m in awe of his business acumen and drive to achieve his goals. He is a man in action! See his photographs here. Now – here’s a goodie for you! Ben Kadel (Emotus Operandi) is hosting an online workshop on [...]
Live the Dream!
This is a short promo video I did using Keynote and Garageband. It’s pretty campy, I know, but how else will the A-Team know that I’m available to do all their voice-overs?! Today is the prelaunch of a NEW project that’s been in the works for 8 months: it’s called clamorate! It’s a collaboration – [...]
Making Meetings Not Suck
[Part 2 of 2] As a counter-post to my pissy rant about how much I think meetings suck, let me share with you some ideas on how you can make meetings not suck. The truth is I have very few traditional meetings. I prefer to process the details of project online – that’s what Smartsheet [...]
Steer a Moving Ship
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about Malcolm Gladwell’s book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. It is a great book – my favourite of his for sure. In Blink he discusses “thin-slicing” – the idea that spontaneous decisions are often as good as, or even better than carefully planned ones. After reading that [...]
Paperless Workflow
This post is the first in the series Reduce the Noise – articles focused on removing the chaos that keeps us from being inspired, productive, and successful. I’m kicking this series off by jumping right into the hornet’s nest – it’s an area that I believe creative entrepreneurs consistently loath and neglect: Paper Work. It [...]
What I Meant to Say at #604freelancecamp
I had a GREAT time at the inaugural Freelance Camp (604-style) today at The Network Hub. I had the privileged to host a session called “How to Manage a Creative Project” which was a lot of fun. I wasn’t ‘teaching’ it but in the classic un-conference-like fashion I shared my thoughts and feelings on the [...]
Growing the VisionMonger
It’s not always about events around here. A couple weeks ago I released a new eBook specific to the management work I do for three photographers: David duChemin, Dave Delnea, and Kevin Clark, it’s called: Growing the VisionMonger – 10 Things a Manager Can Teach You About Running & Growing Your Business. It’s published by [...]
