FU Digital Ninja! Thx 2 CBH 4 the recon.
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

The Worst Day in Advertising StorySlam looks to be one of more interesting events during advertising week. Not only does it provide a peek into a top shelf cast of creative powers but it focuses on storytelling. With all of the digital chatter these days it’s nice to remind ourselves what resonates in our core. Props 2 Organic, Moth & Contagious Mag for putting on the event. I wouldn’t miss this Slam! Deets below.

I’m pumped to be attending the Vimeo festival & awards show this October 8th and 9th. Looks like a SICK mix of film, videos, and workshops that focus on storytelling and technology. Highlight from where i sit includes the awards show hosted by Ze Frank and judges like David Lynch, Doug Pray, & Lawrence Lessig. Compared to most festivals and awards shows it also has a kind price. Check out the details…
Hope 2 see you there!!!!!!
ha, didn’t know about the VM. well done @matbisher!
SOS Error page now a video. Yes, the Apple voicemail is real. Whole thing still blows my mind.

Empowering top shelf talent. →
Lets be honest we’ve heard the stories of killer talent and how they’re portrayed. Frustrated, temperamental, and priceless. Well maybe it’s not the talent that’s being difficult. Maybe it’s the foundation that provides support for said talent. It’s one of those reflective moments for managers all across the board. One of the main ingredients to a successful shop is acquiring + retaining the best talent. Ron Ashkenas from The Harvard Business Review wrote an informative piece on the challenge and process of leveraging your best talent. I suggest taking a peek. We all know there is a reason why some shops are have such low turnover rates. My guess is that is has a ton to do with the environment that they cultivate. Link below. Thx to @firstborn_nyc 4 the recon.
