The Power of Storytelling
It's great to be reminded that storytelling is the business we're all in, no matter if we're making products or ads. (via @campfiresteve)
thanks, Faris. See you at the Burp.
Thanks, Alex
Wow. What a great two and a half years. I’ve been fortunate to have lived a life full of adventure; climbing, skiing and surfing all of over the world plus starting a few businesses and writing a few books. One of the things I love about adventures, especially in the big mountains, is the ab...

Does Twitter Really Matter?
Like many others in the marketing world, I've been interested in Twitter lately. I'm trying to figure out if it matters. Sure, it's great to engage in stimulating conversations. Likewise, I've found that it's been a great tool while writing BakedIn. I can post a quick question and get some great...
that down climb is scary, especially in the dark.
The Age of Soloing Has Begun
I love to solo things. And, that includes climbing. Lot’s people think I’m crazy. But soloing is one of the few times in life that I’m in control. Alive. It’s all up to me. No one else. Right now, I’m sitting here 800 feet above the ground in the middle of the vast sea of rock that is the ...

Baked In Update #2: 20 Review Copies Available
The production of Baked In is rounding the final corner. We're getting excited about our big kickoff party in NYC on September 23rd. A couple of months ago I asked people if they wanted to get involved and review the book. The response has been great. We're willing to hand out 20 more review...

I couldn't agree more. It's time to wax up the surfboard and get ready for one hell of a ride.
How Will You Survive the Digital Tsunami?
As many of you know, we've been experimenting with all sorts of new social media tools including crowdsourcing and co-creation, that have been coming at us all like a digital tsunami. There's been quite a reaction. Last night, Alex wrote a great post offering his perspective on some of these iss...
I love this idea about of the curated economy as a possible future of crowdsourcing. And agree with Ed that it's going to take a while to develop.
Crowdsourcing is Spreading Like Wildfire. Creativity May Get Commoditized. Seriously.
Here's a great post from fellow CP+Ber Colin Drummond: Only the latest of many, many examples. Be afraid. Be very afraid. OK, if you don’t want to be afraid, at least understand how big this is. The reason it’s spreading is because it’s working. Sure, you have to sift through a lot of the cr...
Thanks, Sivam.
Need Your Thoughts for a Speech at Stanford's d.school
I'm talking at Stanford's d.school tomorrow and need your help on ideas for the talk. Here's part of the note I received: As far as the content: Students are now working on their final project: They will be using design thinking to find a target user group and a point of view to spread some kind...

The First Crowdsourced Book? Help John Winsor Revise "Flipped"
John Winsor is a deeply creative guy; he does wonderful work applying the lens of design thinking and raw creativity to advertising. We are lucky enough to have him hanging around the d.school a bit lately, where he gave wonderful talk to the students in our Creating Infectious Action class, an...
Thanks, Chris. I'm stoked on the project. Let me know if there's anything I should be doing differently with the project.
I'm Crowdsourcing My Book, Flipped
In 2004, Beyond the Brand was published. At the time, I wanted to title the book, Co-Creation. The publisher said that co-creation would never be a sticky term. So, they named the book Beyond the Brand. While the book got some great momentum and a good following it never really took off as much ...
thanks for the comments. Eric, shoot me an email and we can discuss.
