Where Was I? Oh Yes…on Facebook…

June 1, 2012

actually not…I’ve been neck deep in the launch of our new MasterClass project. But here’s the thing: All the other work you are doing, and need to do, is still waiting for your attention. I’ve known this, but the whole launch sequence brought it firmly to my attention again. I think that’s the way life [...]

Creator’s MasterClass

May 25, 2012

I’ve been working away at preparing for Creator‘s launch of our new MasterClass program of continuing education. In case you haven’t seen the promo, here’s a thumbnail view:       In 1988, Creator began a series of MasterClass workshops led by distinguished faculty who actually served “on the ground” in churches. MasterClass events were [...]

It’s Now the Attention Economy

May 18, 2012

Read something (somewhere…it was while I was on the road, reading from my phone, and I inadvertently deleted the original, but I remember the gist…) the other day that said we are now in the Attention Economy. If that isn’t apparent, it means that, as my friend Bob Burroughs has been saying for a long [...]

The power of Touching One Life

May 15, 2012

I recently read this wonderful short blog post about a blogger who had just 5 readers. Why is this important? It’s not about staggering growth, or incredible reach, or leverage. But it is about the fact that reaching even one person can change lives and circumstances. And in our “big” obsessed world, that is often [...]

Read this Magazine

May 11, 2012

I wrote earlier about, using the technology provided by Issuu,  embedding a recent issue of the magazine at Creator’s website. It turns out that I can embed a copy almost anywhere, so I’m doing that here. If you haven’t read the one at the website yet (or if you have), I’d still like your reactions [...]

Digital Creator Magazine

May 8, 2012

I just finished converting and uploading the 2012 number 1 issue of Creator magazine to Creator’s website. This is a cool new feature for us, and I’m hoping that you’ll tell your friends that the magazine (albeit one or two issues behind) is now on the website. We’re doing this, in part, to try to [...]

Bittersweet Shuffle

May 4, 2012

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had a couple of opportunities to drive long distances, which means, of course, more time with my Ipod in my head. Which means I’ve made some significant progress in my Ipod Shuffle quest. So I thought I’d do a bit of an update, for the three of you that [...]

Read This Book

May 1, 2012

I am reading an advance copy of Chris Guillebeau‘s new book The $100 Startup. There is a lot of great information here, and in the first half of the book I’ve gotten several ideas that I’m going to apply right away. Highly recommended. Get a copy when it releases on May 8. Ipod shuffle status [...]

The Creative Monopoly and Leadership

April 27, 2012

Sometimes you read something and there is very little to add. Such was the case when I read the article The Creative Monopoly by David Brooks. Before I give you the link, let me say a couple of things: While Brooks is a “political” columnist, and there are political references in the article, I’m not [...]
