Big History

The incredibly complex story of our universe. Everyone needs to see this.

Also check out the website: http://www.bighistoryproject.com/
"Each history offers valuable insights. Together, they reveal even more. Big history weaves evidence and insights from many scientific and historical disciplines into a single, accessible origin story – one that explores who we are, how we got here, how we are connected to everything around us, and where we may be heading."

Seth Godin

This wouldn't be a marketing blog without Seth Godin. Literally type "Marketing Guru" in google and Seth Godin is the second link.

This is his TED presentation-entitled, "The Tribes We Lead." He offers some great advice on how to lead a movement.

Sound Bites
What leaders have in common;

Blogging

I've always thought of blogging as a lame attempt for people to share their feelings and views. Feelings in which most of the time I don't think anyone else cares about. I'm actually surprised that people check my blog for instance. Not because I think that what I have to say isn't relevant or interesting, I just doubt it is worth anyone's time- being that we all have such different tastes and interests.

For me blogging is about documenting my moments of inspiration, maybe even profound moments. Mostly I  just like to have a trail of my thought process, and to keep track of things that interest me. A lot of the time I find myself embarrassed that people know I have a blog; usually justifying why utilizing social media is important in this day in age. Really I just like to blog for me. I'm passionate about a lot of things and I make no apologies.

It gives my future employers a sense of my Flava and hell maybe it even interests people.

Thas'all for my grappling with blogging.

Strong is Beautiful

I love this new campaign by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).

I think a huge reason that the professional women's soccer league folded was due to their lack of marketing. They didn't generate enough interest and involvement, therefore they had no money coming in the door. Someday I am going to reinstate the professional Women's Soccer league.

Way to be WTA.
