via blog.chasejarvis.com I’ve always been intrigued by what happens below the surface, like what’s happening where we can’t see. Coming from a surfing background I used to wonder what happens when we’re duck-diving, like, what it looks like from a different angle…I used to surf with a small video camera and housing attached to my helmet…but that sucked.

via youtube.com The intro copy for this advertising campaign, goes something like this: "The most sacred moment guys have left is watching football with friends. But as time goes by, that moment is increasingly at risk. We reminded our target of this, the very evening, of the UEFA Champions League Game. Real Madrid vs AC Milan.

Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change. He urges us to do so. Between the book of the same title, and this 17 minute video, Seth Godin has challenged my established preconceived ideas. With new ideas, worth spreading.
via michaelhyatt.com "I am still trying to process my experience in Ethiopia. It was so profound that I can barely articulate it. It has been a true shift in my worldview. As I have thought about this, I have realized that “I need Africa more than Africa needs me,” so beautifully depicted in this video. I followed Michael's trip to Ethiopia on Twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search?max_id=1893736314&page=30&q=%23wve Hundreds and hundreds of messages, insights, and thoughts.
