If you took the 18+ minutes to listen to this week’s An Eventual Life podcast (which I will note is only slightly longer than a talk we allude to later in this interview), you heard Seth Godin’s discussion with me. Either way, you can read it here now or have it read to you. Read on to see what we both had to say in question and answer form. [Read more...]
I’m about to begin my eventual fulfillment of a promise to you, the reader.
My interview with Scott Belsky (founder and CEO of Behance and author of the just-released Making Ideas Happen) was as eventual as it was informative and entertainative. As a result I’ve divided it up into two parts. Today we’ll discuss The 99% Conference, happening today and tomorrow in New York City. In addition, we begin to explore the ideas behind the book and I even talk a little bit about myself in there as well.

Thanks for joining me today, Scott.
SB

You’ve got a lot going on this week…the book launch for Making Ideas Happen and The 99% Conference is starting the same day, Thursday April 15th. Who’s going to be at the conference this year?
SB
Yes. We have a fun group this year at the conference, which as you may know, doesn’t allow people to talk about their ideas – they can only talk about their execution. So we have people like Jack Dorsey from Twitter coming, we have Fred Wilson from Union Square Ventures, the famous designer Stefan Sagmeister among others who have just made their ideas happen time and time again.

I would be there but I’d need more than the two days because my execution is so eventual in nature.
