Black Friday is a media trap, an orchestrated mass hallucination based on herd dynamics and the media cycle.

Most of the time, creative entrepreneurs lose interest long before their marketing message loses its power.

The opportunity is not in being momentarily popular with the anonymous masses. It's in being missed when you're gone, in doing work that matters to the tribe you choose.

The most successful givers aren’t doing it because they’re being told to. They do it because doing it is fun. It gives them joy.

More and more people now have jobs that require them to confront the risk of appearing stupid on a regular basis.

Shame must be accepted to be effective.

Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
