This is from Burning Man the 2011 edition and the message they ascribe to are something we can all use at times. Thanks to Ryan Coelho for showing it to us as we take the next steps to play our game, the game on leadership that is. It was awesome, a bit weird, and inspiring.
There isn’t much I can add to this video except that:
Confronting your fear needs a recipe to make you better for the dinner to be that will make you better
It just takes a loaf of courage, a dash of risk, 2 tea spoons of hope added to the dish.

Mix them together and what you will receive a dish to have when you are most in need.

I saw Aaron Draplin from the Draplin Design Company talk at FITC Toronto this past week. It was a great talk, he was funny, it felt real and honest. I found another talk he did just weeks before and the keynote is similar enough and so is the content but it is pretty damn good that if you have not seen it you should at least once.

We are just a year and a few months from the Vancouver Olympics and in the gear up to London 2012 the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) decided it was time to rebrand. In my opinion it was time to take the fire from Vancouver and use it to light the way to London 2012 and beyond.
If you could call Cannes Lions anything it would be Christmas for agencies from around the world. This year BBDO, Microsoft and OTX did a study of multi-platform, creative and technology based campaigns to find a framework for marketing success.

I use this blog as my own personal sounding board, I don't write for perfection so the grammar will not always be perfect.
