In two weeks, I will be moving to New York City to work with Seth Godin and five other accomplices who seek to revolutionize the publishing industry via The Domino Project.
There’s a surreal quality to it all (I just interviewed (and found out that I was hired) on Friday), but I fully expect for this to be a transformative experience. The gang of troublemakers (Lauryn, Amber, Alex, Michael, and Amy) I get to work with is amazing. I hope you get to meet them.

I couldn’t help but share this story. Powerful.
I went bowling with friends last night and there was a very interesting gentleman in the lane next to ours. In addition to “Kool-Aid” being the name he selected for his game, he had an incredibly awkward form: he got a running start and released the ball toward the ground while jumping. The impact of the ball hitting the ground caught many innocent bystanders off-guard. It was quite the spectacle.
My first reaction was one of amusement and fascination, but that faded after watching him bowl a few times. The most amazing thing about his form is that it frequently resulted in strikes.
It was an amusing juxtaposition: persons in my lane had perfect form…and frequently rolled gutterballs…whereas this gentleman had the grace of a sumo wrestler on ice skates but was bowling fantastic sets back to back.
So as people snickered at his form and method, I had to ask myself…
…does it matter?
