Master Your Fear & Find Your Voice [with My Homie Tim Ferriss]

Kevin Rose: Ice Baths, Saying No, & the Art of Trying

Kevin Rose has lived the dream of many aspiring Internet entrepreneurs. His businesses have been prescient and successful, and as an angel investor he has bet on major players before they were big: Square, Twitter and Uber, to name a few. But Kevin’s successes as the founder of Digg and Revision 3 weren’t due to shrewd calculation alone-- they were built on a foundation of habits that anyone can duplicate and use as their own... read more ›

How to Capture Creative Gold When You’re at the End of Your Rope — Literally. [Interview with Jimmy Chin]

There are two types of photographers who impress the hell out of me. One is the wartime photojournalist, who puts his or her life on line to document real stories and images behind the world's most dangerous conflicts. [I've written about it before -- Would You Die for a Photo?]. Without their work, truths get lost, and the stakes are as high as they can get. The other is the extreme photographer. I'm not talking... read more ›

Brandon Stanton: The Hard Work of Dreams

In 2010, Brandon Stanton started taking pictures of people on the streets of New York City and posting them on a blog. After thousands of conversations and pictures, Brandon realized he wasn’t a photographer. Rather, he was a believer in connection, in community, and in basic human sweetness. In large part, Brandon’s work has been so influential because he removed himself from the equation and allowed the communities he documents to speak for themselves. Brandon’s... read more ›

Brené Brown: Rising Strong in a Digital Age

She calls herself a shame and vulnerability researcher, she’s a storyteller, and has one of the most popular ted talks of all time.

She’s a life changer, and a game changer and she also has 3 NYT Best Sellers in the top 10, including her latest book, Rising Strong. I love... read more ›

6 Books Guaranteed to Make You More Creative

One of the most common misconceptions I come across is the belief that once you’ve somehow “made it," I / one / you don’t hit ruts, bumps, run into blocks, or otherwise get paralyzed by the creative work that needs doing. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. I get thrown for a loop all the time. I’ve found myself off my game at numerous times in my career, getting lost for a... read more ›

7 Lessons Anyone [YOU] Can Learn from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

The Grammys are a usually a lovely nightcap to the previous year’s music. Some celebration, some tension, a little drama and some nice performances. And whether or not you agree with where the Grammy Committee’s voting ended up in any category - one thing is for sure: 4 Grammy’s from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - who to this day are not signed to a record label - is impressive. And perhaps what’s more impressive IMHO... read more ›
