You don’t want to change the world…

Media_httpimagesinsta_hghzg

Every­body wants to be on the win­ning team.

Some peo­ple don’t care what team they’re on, to paraph­rase Bob Dylan, so long as they’re winning.

I’ve been around those peo­ple all my life. Most were for­got­ten, by me and every­body else.

Some peo­ple don’t mind if they win or lose, as long as they don;t get hurt.

Some peo­ple don’t mind losing, so long as they get to play the game they want to play.

And then there’s the peo­ple who want to win, and win big, but ONLY if they somehow manage to improve the game overall.

Not just raise THEIR game, but raise THE game alto­gether. Even if when they’re losing, they seem to manage it.

Those peo­ple have the most fun. They’re also the most fun to play with.

And they also seem to win the most, over time.

You’re not crazy. You’re not a failure.

My Interview With Paul Barron

Send to Kindle

Ear­lier this year, the res­tau­rant busi­ness guru, Paul Barron inter­vie­wed me in Miami. One my my bet­ter inter­views of late IMHO. So far it’s been vie­wed over 38,000 times! Thanks to Paul for a great afternoon.

[Offi­cial Blurb:] “Ever­yone has an Evil Plan, maybe it’s tuc­ked away inside your mind or maybe you are deve­lo­ping one this very minute. But for the lucky few, we are exe­cu­ting it daily! Join us in this epi­sode as we talk with the artist, inno­va­tor and evil genius Hugh Mac­Leod him­self about the book “Evil Plans”.

“The Web works best when it’s spontaneous, creative, irreverent and slightly anarchic”.

[Don’t get me started…]

You may have already noti­ced, I’ve been doing a lot of rapid-fire car­toon pos­tings lately.

It goes to a point that came up when I was recently tal­king to Doc Searls on the phone…

“The Web works best when it’s spon­ta­neous, crea­tive, irre­ve­rent and slightly anarchic”.

With that in mind, I deci­ded to do something about it. The Web had been fee­ling kinda stuffy of late…

So when I draw a wee business-card car­toon, at Starbuck’s or wha­te­ver, I simply take a snapshot of it then and there on my iPhone, then ins­tantly post it on the web via Ins­ta­gram… which auto­ma­ti­cally feeds onto Twit­ter, this Word­Press blog, Face­book and my Pos­te­rous page.

Sim­ple, fast and fun.

Art is more inte­res­ting when it’s libe­ra­ted from its own self.

Not unlike human beings…

Spon­ta­neous. Crea­tive. Irre­ve­rent. Slightly anarchic.

Exactly.
