Inspire me!
I think one of the biggest problems today, whether it be at school, in business, at home even, is that we are not inspired. We are so caught up in the moment that we don’t tend to see the bigger picture! Or we are so caught up in the moment trying to direct and manipulate [...]
Where are the limits?
I am sure you saw the Time cover in the US last week. The question that this leaves us asking is whether or not this is going too far to sell magazines or is this a legitimate way to bring the topic to our attention? And is the topic about breastfeeding? Hmmm… I personally was [...]
Motivation in the oddest place.
We get a shot of inspiration in the strangest places. How about Lionel Ritchie? I love this guy and his story. Things happen around us and we are too caught up in the moment to know what is going on. Sometimes we need to listen to our landscape. Give this interview a watch.

Augmented Reality
The world we live in is set to become a whole lot more engaging and this has to be a good thing. I had a conversation with Dr. Anna Wilson about embedding virtual information in objects or places and what this means to education. Oh and then there is also business and government to consider, [...]

Creative mom Wendy Tsao sets out to strengthen that relationship with Child’s Own Studio, which she founded to make custom stuffed plushie toys based [...]
Kids With Ideas
What are your thoughts about teens today? Have you seen how they dress? Have you watched them use phones, tv, computers, games and eat all at the same time? Generally the youth of today get a bad rap. Well let me tell you not to lose hope. I had a chance to talk to 4 [...]
Great Story.
We all know that a good story can sell anything. What I am surprised about is the lack of storytelling that is going on these days in our corporations. The problem is obvious, the tools to tell the stories of our lives have simply developed faster than our ability to engage them. The result is [...]
Love this idea!
How do we talk about a product? I thought “my 1st car story“, was a really interesting idea. Hmmm… how can we apply this to a lecture at University? Imagine a lecture mashup!
