You need to see these amazing photos! Man, I wish I had been there to see this live. I imagine it was like a Circ Du Soleil show, but on steroids.

Yesterday there was a great interview with Jim Coudal by Mellisa Pierce of Life In Perpetual Beta.

Anyway, there were quite a few little gold nuggets I took away from this video. I’m sure there are plenty more, but these stuck out to me:

If you can get in touch with what’s happening in the creative process, maybe you can make it happen more often.

3 questions we always ask ourselves before getting started on a project:

1. Are we gonna make money?
2. Will we be proud of it?
3. Will we learn something new?

Yes, yes, yes, let’s do it.

You’ve got to fail a lot, or you’re not trying hard enough.

Bill Taylor of Practically Radical posts his musings on the failure/success curve of finding a business space you can be the best in.

How is it that Honda, Southwest, and Netflix manage to thrive, when so many of their peers not only struggle to break even but flirt with outright disaster?…

…First, high-performing companies understand that it’s not enough to be “pretty good” at everything anymore.

I have been preaching a similar message for years. Get great, or get out.

In any case, great article. Give it a read.

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, someone pops up out of the bubble and does something truly “out of the box”. This is pretty dang insane.

Check out the videos and then play with the visualization yourself.

Just watch it.

This video brings tears to my eyes. To have a father believe in you so much — this is what unconditional trust sounds like.

Listen to Earl Woods describe his son, visualize yourself - in whatever it is you do - with a coach like this.
