Draw, Get Lucky, Edit, Stop: Twitter’s Success Takeaways

Jack Dorsey, the Creator, Co-Founder and Chairman of Twitter makes a clear presentation of the four key points that defined his experience in creating Twitter at the 99% Conference.  I especially liked what he said about “building a beautiful product experience to build trust”.

Well, I am ready to whip out my sketchbook and making my ideas happen.

Enjoy the video.  It is well worth it.

The Art of Doing Less

I have great news for you!

All of you who are doing great things, all the time, all day long until you drag yourself into bed at the end of the day and fret about all the things you didn’t get to.

Sound familiar?

Try doing just one thing, doing it really well, smile and give yourself a Fist Bump for Being Fabulous.

You will love how you feel.

Here’s a video for you about all that.

Wow! Making Your Own Shoes on Channel 7

Who know that making shoes would capture the imagination of so many?

What I love about the process of making shoes are the stories that inspire their creation.

Michael, who made a beautiful pair of mules for his wife Bonnie, captured the essence of this experience in a moment I can only imagine to be breathtakingly Wow!  He presented them to her for their anniversary in a cake box at a restaurant forever raising the bar for men who are still putting diamond rings in crackerjack boxes.

A man who makes his wife a gorgeous pair of shoes?  How can you top that?

Getting to Wow! in a pair of shoes created lovingly by hand is a continuing tale I have enjoyed sharing with all of you.   Here is the Channel 7 story.

Enjoy the video!

Edelweiss @ Eighty Six

I want to be just like my mom when I grow up.

She does tai chi and takes cha cha classes four times a week with her friends in a Buddhist temple across the street from a fabulous northern style noodle shop in Flushing, Queens.  She has a very busy social life. Mahng sz le! she sighs when I finally reach her on the phone in the evening.   So busy!

Oh, she also sings in a chorus that performs an intriguing repertoire of songs.  Here’s a little video of her latest appearance.

Check out what Wow! can look like when you’re 86.

Enjoy!
