Move humanity forward
Last week I presented some ideas to a group of MBA students at CU. It was about sustainable marketing and our work at the FearLess Cottage. It was a really smart group that probably should have been presenting to me instead of the other way around. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. I look forward to sharing these ideas more in the future. These are the slides I used.

These are great pieces of advice illustrated by Tad Carpenter for MTV. Not sure how they’re living up to the first one.
Art director interview
A student at the Art Institute of Colorado recently reached out to the FearLess Cottage looking to interview an art director for a school project. Here are my answers to his questions:
What do you like most about being a art director?
It’s kind of a tricky question because I don’t really think of myself as an art director. I just think of myself as someone who helps make creative ideas come to life. The best ideas we come up with at the FearLess Cottage are not any one person’s idea. They come from an environment that encourages collaboration. Everybody has a voice and everybody’s ideas carry equal value. What I like most is being able to dream big and having the opportunity to pursue those dreams.
In one of my favorite talks from the last few years, TreeHugger.com founder Graham Hill identifies the three most effective ways to slash your carbon footprint. Together they make for a great New Year’s resolution for anybody who cares about living in a safe and peaceful world. As an added bonus, they’ll improve your health and save you time and money!
I highly recommend watching the video, but if you don’t have time here are the Cliffs Notes on high impact carbon reduction:
- Cut way down on meat consumption.
- Minimize your air travel.
- Switch to a renewable energy program.
This is a great read on Ben Franklin as a champion of energy efficiency, a clean environment, and public health.
