To those who don’t know us well, gaping­void just appears to be in the busi­ness of selling Hugh’s cool illus­tra­tions. Over the years, Hugh and I have gone through the often-tortuous self exa­mi­na­tion requi­red in the jour­ney of fin­ding our true pur­pose. Nearly every day asking our­sel­ves: “What can one do with a cartoon?”

Thanks to our friend, Mark Earls, we think a lot about the notion of Pur­pose Idea, and spend a lot of time hel­ping clients wrestle with the beast as well.

So, we have come up with our pur­pose, and much of it is around the idea of ins­pi­ring others.

Here is an excerpt of what we con­si­der our Pur­pose – note that it is a work in pro­gress, and always sub­ject to change as we grow, morph and rein­vent ourselves.

*We live in inc­re­di­ble times.

*Every sin­gle per­son on this earth has the capa­city to make a dif­fe­rence… the abi­lity to lead, and leave their mark.

*Every busi­ness is dri­ven by for­ces far more power­ful and pro­found than money.

*We help busi­nes­ses dis­co­ver and arti­cu­late their purpose

*We help peo­ple make a difference,

*We help lea­ders lead

*We help busi­nes­ses kick butt.

*We create social objects that trans­form orga­ni­za­tions, start con­ver­sa­tions, and spread ideas at light­ning speed.

*We live in inc­re­di­ble times, and as long as there is one per­son on this earth who does not agree, there is still work to be done.

Amen.
