Work

The best work is doing the things that only you can do. A team of people like that, can create the best value (in any industry).

Where your original value (what only you can do) and your passion (what you love to do) intersect - that's the sweet spot. That's unique to you and your original stamp on the world so to speak. When you take that and apply it, you've found a way to do work you love and you're at the top of your game. That's where life gets to be very exciting and fulfilling. Another great thing is you can apply this to anything. When this is applied to a business model, that's where a company takes off.

We're still learning. I find it fun and exciting just even to write this. It's very liberating.

Value

The thing about art today in the age of massive information sharing is that by the time an image or story gains acclaim, it’s often stale in a way.

But what I think is more relevant and useful is seeing how did that image or story affect you. Was it meaningful? Did it resonate? Does it excite you and inspire passion in you? Were you completely engaged with it? Do you feel like you grew or you gained something from that exchange?

That’s the genuine value it offers and that can last far beyond any trend or buzz.

For a book or visual art or a movie, that becomes simply timeless. That can be simple or hard to achieve, but that’s real value.
