The book is called LIVING THE DREAM – Putting Your Creativity to Work (and Getting Paid) and it’s scheduled to hit bookshelves everywhere in November. It’s an awesome undertaking as I’m [...]

The Writing is On the Wall

Wednesday, 28 March, 2012

 In 2001 I said to my closest friends “Someday I’m going to start a business.” I didn’t know what kind of business it would be but I just knew that I was wired to operate a company. It took me 7 years to truly discover what that ultimate business was, and there was an entrepreneur [...]

Bad Email. Now Go to Your Room!

Thursday, 16 February, 2012

Look out… I’m grumpy. Here’s why: 1. I just dumped wet coffee grounds all over the place (I knocked over my *Aeropress). 2. I just received three email blasts that offended my marketing sensibilities so much that I yelled at my computer. I’m a firm believer that email is the root of all evil but [...]

Stop Looking, Start Doing

Thursday, 9 February, 2012

“Finding success” assumes we’ve been looking for it. Looking assumes we’re searching for something we don’t yet have. I think it’s the hunt that keeps us from actually being successful. Stop looking for success and start doing the things that produce victories (small or large). Success will find you when you’re working hard and taking [...]

Live the Dream!

Monday, 13 June, 2011

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 – [...]

Dan is the Man

Thursday, 21 October, 2010

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 [...]
