Third in a series of posts inspired by Seth Godin’s Linchpin.
A woman I know was laid off in 2008 after a 14-year career in broadcast journalism. Now at the end of her financial rope, she had just a couple months of living expenses left and no real prospects of another job. She was understandably scared.
“What [...]

Second in a series of posts inspired by Seth Godin’s Linchpin.
I quoted Seth Godin’s Linchpin in my last post. But I didn’t give him enough credit. “Lean forward” was directly inspired from his chapter about “Becoming The Linchpin” and the steps people and businesses need to take to be indispensable.
Books like Seth’s always trigger ideas. [...]

The Red Pencils are a San Francisco-based group of adfolk who are training for the 7-day, 545-mile AIDS/LifeCycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. To raise money for this incredible cause, they’ll be holding a fundraising event on Feb 23 at the Barrel House, which includes a screening of Lemonade, Q&A with me, and [...]

(shot during our trip to screen in Detroit)
This post has been adapted from an earlier email sent to Lemonade subscribers.
Much has happened in recent weeks. Lemonade is now on Hulu, and was the #1 watched film for two days in a row. We’ve had screenings in about a dozen cities, and in the coming weeks [...]

1. Come to a screening
It is the purest way to see it. You get to watch Lemonade with a bunch of other folks, most of whom are or have been laid off. Then we get to have a conversation about the film, how it was made, and talk about how you can make your own [...]

On Lemonademovie.com, there’s a link to join the email list.
For the next two days, subscribing will get you access to watch Lemonade in its entirety online. Then on Friday 12/15, I’m removing it from the server.
It’s my small way of saying thank you.

A couple months before Up In The Air was released, someone who knows someone at Paramount told me about its similarities to Lemonade.
Well, I was finally able to see UITA last night. Other than mentioning that I enjoyed it very much and think you would, too, I’m not going to give it a review here [...]
It’s New Years Eve. Instead of getting my champagne on, I opted to stay in for a quiet night of reflection. We put the kids down early, and now I just want to be with my wife (who is sitting right here next to me), my thoughts, and a glass of Malbec.
Thanks to the numerous [...]

Just before the Boston screening of Lemonade, we were contacted by an international retailer who expressed interest in sponsoring us. Apparently, Lemonade was in alignment with their 2010 corporate campaign and they wanted to be part of our project somehow.
The idea was that we would travel to different cities around the country to screen the [...]

Seth Godin and Chris Brogan are two of my favorites. Seth has been around for decades. He writes best-selling business books. He lectures. And everything that comes out of his mouth could be its own TED conference.
Chris’s expertise is rooted in new technologies. To everyone who reads him, it would appear the man never sleeps. [...]
