on talent…
Great point from Jason Calacanis:
As I tell folks on our team, there are three types of people in the world:
People who make stuff.
People who sell stuff.
People who support the first two groups of people.That’s really it… I’m a servant to my people. I am here to serve (as a wise, wise man once told me), and if the talent ain’t happy then I’ve failed. The problem is sometimes the support folks think they’re the talent.

A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
What do you think of people who train/teach? are they selling knowledge, or are they just part of support?
They are either (A) selling training and education as a service, or (B) teaching people how to sell — their ideas, their skills, etc… IMHO.
