Raising the Level of Sophistication in the Oilsands Dialogue
March 30, 2010Never Miss an Opportunity to be Fabulous
March 27, 2010I love listening to the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders series on iTunes. Last night I was listening to a lecture called “What I wish I knew when I was 20″ (lecture 97), by Tina Seelig, the executive director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. Oh, and by the way, she just happens to have a PhD in neuroscience. Anyway, I was so inspired that as I was listening to the lecture, I imagined what the slides would look like and made up my own slide show to go along with it. I highly recommend that you listen to the lecture yourself, but here is my version of the slideshow for your viewing pleasure.
And yes, it’s possible, I might have too much time on my hands.
Update: I noticed that Tina Seelig has an account on slideshare! Here is the original slideshow (and… it appears she has actually written a book about it! Chapters, here I come.)
What do you think: Spare Change or Get a Job?
March 19, 2010Either you want to change the world, have dedicated a part of your life to ending poverty, and seek to be involved in making the world a place of love. Or else, you get your shotgun when the United Way knocks on your door, you can’t stand being bothered by charities, and you think most unfortunates are just lazy – in other words, only the strong survive, so get a job! If you see yourself fitting into one of these groups (or know someone who does) – I want you!
I will conducting “unfocus” groups to help build the Uend brand, and need participants. Uend is a new model of NGO that is involved in ending world poverty. But I’m looking for insights from the extreme critics as well as the extreme supporters.
As you can imagine, the discussion around the table is likely to be lively, engaging, and fun. And if you’re interested in branding, communications, or marketing… Then there’s an added bonus for you.
Plus, there’s free food, and maybe even beer.
