Pride of the Problem Spotter

The best way to never get over a problem is to keep focusing on it.

Spotting a problem is easy, and for many of us, it can create a sense of pride for being the first one to notice it. That sense of pride resonates inside of us and it’s in our nature to want to revisit that feeling and duplicate it as often as possible.

Do Schools Kill Creativity?

I appreciate Jonny Blur of HangerDanger.com for sending this video by Sir Ken Robinson. Watching a 20 minute video is pretty high up on my list of ‘Things That Will Never Happen”, but the title was relevant enough to my current project that I gave it a go during lunch.

I had never heard of Sir Ken Robinson before but his insight and numerous memorable quotes during the video kept me fully engaged and glad I clicked PLAY

What Color are You?

Who we are is a result of what we have allowed to pour into us. If we look at ourselves like the color of paint, it’s interesting what we’ll see. Let’s say your a cool blue who allows an angry red thought to cross your mind. It comes in, in the amount of a teaspoon, but you don’t dwell on it, so the pouring stops. A gallon of blue is still blue when you add a teaspoon of red, but if you continue to be angry and ignore the true color of who you are, the red will continue to pour and eventually you will no longer be blue.

Creative Branding in a Small Town

The City of Winter Garden, FL is a quaint small town with great potential for businesses to do something different than anyone else.  I had this thought on creative branding the other day, regarding the town, and I figured it would be a great opportunity to share with all of you.

One of the most noted attractions to Winter Garden is it’s biking community. The West Orange Trail passes through the town attracting bikers who ride the path to stop in and treat themselves to a break. This is a huge opportunity for a business to really take advantage of some great marketing.
