Nike Mag 2011

“Great Scott!” Nike is finally releasing the shoe that every kid in the 80s dreamed of owning.  Unfortunately the auto-laces feature doesn’t come out until 2015.  With a limited run of 1,500 shoes, Nike is auctioning them off on eBay to benefit the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.  There is only 10 hours to go on some of the first shoes being auctioned, and the bids are already hitting $6,000.

Now where is my hoverboard?

The other two short films EAT and LEARN by Rick Mereki, Tim White and Andrew Lees are up on Vimeo.

MTV Explains the Internet

Back in the day when MTV had something to do with music, they put together this segment where Michael Jackson, Coolio, Ozzy and Dave Matthews explain the internet.

“In 1995 some 10 million people regularly used the internet.  What has attracted many of them is the world wide web with its proliferation of special address truckstops called webpages.”

The goal is not to fix your weaknesses. The goal is to amplify your strengths and surround yourself with the people who can do what you can’t do.

If you Don’t Understand People You Don’t Understand Business
Sinek argues that as individuals and companies, everything that we say and do is a symbol of who we are. And it is only when we communicate our beliefs authentically that we can attract others to our cause, and form the bonds that will empower us to achieve truly great things.
