Do what you love…

I just spent a half hour watching this great video, “Lemonade”, about taking full advantage of the hand that life deals to you:

It’s not the best time to be in practically any industry, but I feel like this is what I’ve been doing for most of my career and in particular now, (ie the subtitle of this blog, “don’t forget it’s all about fun”) – what about you?!

Hat tip to Seth Godin for posting about Lemonade.

Work is fun and fun is working

I attended the opening day of Media Post’s Email Insider Summit this past Monday and while I wish I had the time to attend the next two days, just getting to one day of this event made for a fantastic experience. The presentations ranged from actionable and insightful data to visions of where email marketing is heading to discussions of how the post-college generation uses media. But, part of the MPEIS is not just the information coming from the front of the room it is also connecting with other attendees and learning from those interactions – in addition to making great new connections. I managed to do some really good networking (in my preferred manner) and I’d like to share the video I made while doing it:

After getting home from this busy day and crashing onto our couch, I found myself asking, “is what you do fun and do you still have fun doing it?” Guess how I replied?  I said, “YES!” What about you?

By the way, for a much better summary of what went on at the Email Insider Summit, with much more detail and insights, be sure to visit the Media Post Raw Blog.

Badly behaving baboons breed a viral video

I caught a glimpse of this video on TV while eating lunch and decided to check YouTube to see if I could find out more information about it. Turns out, this is a staged demonstration that was used by staff at the Knowsley Safari Park to supplement some photos they took for a press release about these mischievous baboons. What a great idea it is to use visual cues like these for a press release, and with 9,956 views and 21 comments within a few hours of posting it to YouTube shows how quickly good ideas spread. This almost makes me wish for Baboons here in Park City so we could do a similar video, check it out:

What are the lessons from this?

  • There are always opportunities to do what we do everyday differently.
  • Always look for the unique element of any situation.
  • The photos were what were sent with the press release, but the video is what is getting the buzz – don’t be afraid to do more than what is intended.

What else can be taken away from the success of this video and applied to what you do everyday?
