build, create, imagine, conceive, dream. Start.

“I have attention. Is it that you believe that I am attention-seeking or shock for shock’s sake, or is it just that it’s been a long time since someone has embraced the art form the way that I have? Perhaps it’s been a couple of decades since there’s been an artist that’s been as vocal about culture, religion, human rights, politics. I’m so passionate about what I do, every bass line, every EQ. Why is it that you don’t want more from the artist, why is it that you expect so little, so when I give and give, you assume it’s narcissistic?”.

2days Class: "How to make the right decision."

"How do I say this? It’s like a mechanism in my life that runs on its own. When other things in my life don’t, and are broken and aren’t going well, for some reason my decision-making mechanism has a little engine of its own, and it’s fine. So I don’t overthink it. I’ve come to learn that the choices I labor over and go back and forth about and ask a million people for their opinions and make lists about . . . those are always the wrong choices. I’ve definitely made a couple of those, and that’s how I know now that it’s not the best way for me to decide.

2days Class: "The PR Industry is moving..."

an excerpt from "The Future Of Public Relations and Social Media" by Erica Swallow for Mashable

"... the PR industry is moving from placing importance on broadcasting to highly valuing monitoring and measurement: “Right now, the most important tools are the broadcasting tools … But in five years, the most important tools will be the monitoring and measurement tools — the tools that can tell you what happened to your message once it got out there. The tools that can demonstrate (and quickly demonstrate) return on engagement will be winners." - Amanda Millier-LittleJohn, MopWaterPR

2days Class: "Who U Know" vs. "Who U Are"

An excerpt from "The Essence of Great Introductions Is Not Who You Know But Who You Are" 

"...For highly effective connections, reputation matters more than an ability to know a lot of people. Reputation is not, primarily, about metrics like the number of Twitter followers, but about relevant shared experience, interpersonal track record, and likelihood of future power. Find or create those three circumstances in your essential introductions, and incredible things can happen." - Nathaniel Whittemore for AssetMap
