Crowd-Sourcing an eBook
For the last 10 months I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into a new ebook and today the cat was finally let out of the bag. No, it’s not available for purchase. In fact, it’s not even done yet! I’ve written all I can write and I’ve taken all the pictures I can (which [...]
A Creative at Work
I’m sitting at a great little deli in Taos, New Mexico enjoying a brew and a sandwich while feverishly enjoying the free Internet action. My exploration of photography has been an awesome experience so far. Despite the constant struggle to get my lens cap to stay on I’m feeling more and more comfortable with the [...]
Making Photographs
Greetings from the road! David and I have stopped for diesel (and WiFis) and I thought I’d pass along a quick update on my creative endeavor. Using a fancy camera has been difficult. Patiently staking out a scene or situation has been trying. Clicking the shutter button hundreds of times and realizing that I’m capable [...]
Inspired Confusion
A few months ago I blogged about creative exploration and how I was in a bit of a funk, that I hadn’t found a creative outlet to keep me inspired and challenged. Well, the search has ended… at least for now. I’ve borrowed a DSLR camera. I’m totally freaked out! It’s been rumored, rather publicly, [...]
Creative Spirit
The second annual CREATIVEMIX Conference was a hit! There’s a bunch of post-event stuff on the conference website (creativemix.ca) but for my blog I wanted to simply share with you my welcome speech as it’s written to be more than just opening remarks to a conference, but rather a challenge to myself, and to those [...]
The Simple Mind
I think we think to much. As creative entrepreneurs we overload our minds with information and we spew out to much information. The images, visuals, concepts, words, lists, charts – the production of ideas requires a ton of mental effort and I wonder if we’re too quick to embrace this rapid exchange of cerebral racket. [...]
Serious Awesomeness
With CREATIVEMIX just around the corner the margins of my life have filled up with all of the lovely things that final preparations produce: to many meetings, a stupid amount of email, enough phone calls to make an operator jealous, and extraneous mental note taking like “Oh crap, I can’t forget to bring my iPod [...]
Dan is the Man
Image by Jonathan Taggart In a couple weeks at CREATIVEMIX Canada’s latest indie rock super hero, Dan Mangan, will be speaking about the many hats (and skills) of an entrepreneurial artist; I’m so freakin’ excited! This guy is crazy cool. I’ve been a fan of Dan’s for awhile now but if he’s new to you [...]
Talkie Talk
Next Tuesday I’ll be kickin’ around the Canadian Special Events & Meetings Expo (Rocky Mountaineer Station, Vancouver) and at 9:30am I’ll be giving a one-hour talkie-talk called Inspired Event Management Through Creative Thinking & Collaboration. Here’s a bit of a synopsis: Organizing an event requires careful planning and hard work, but in today’s competitive market [...]
Make the Big Ask
It’s been a crazy week for me. Tuesday saw the announcement of our keynote speaker line-up for CREATIVEMIX – it’s been a long time in coming, 6 months in the making actually. It felt really good to be able to use my outside voice and start spreading the word. Our speaking team is an amazing [...]
