So I was tuned into the Badass Conference today…one of the best things i’ve done in a while, i might add. Among the many badasses interviewed, one was Tommy Walker. Now, admittedly, i’d never heard of Tommy before, and when his mug popped up on the video stream i thought, “hm, kinda looks badass, but [...]
Are we – the 99% – making a difference? Occupy today.
I say, unequivocally, YES! Though some might wonder “what it’s all about,” ultimately, the Occupy Movement (to my mind, at least) is about awakening, engaging and empowering the average citizen out of their/our apathetic slumber…and into action. Action on inequality and injustice. Even if that action is merely clicking “like” on facebook, it’s still more [...]

Today I ran across an excellent how-to article that fits exactly with my client base… Top 10 Ways to Find Clients, by Kellye Crane at Solo PR Pro, shares great advice on finding clients by accessing who you know to generate new work, new connections and new directions.

What do I do now??
So, you’ve started a business… or decided that what you do for fun could actually make you a living if you got off your butt and pursued it. Now what? Well, from my experience, first you need some financial advice. You need someone to tell you exactly how to set up your systems to manage [...]

what leaves you wanting…
So, in this past year of reduction & renovation in our lives, we’ve come to learn a few things about ourselves and our approach to life. I was spurred to write this after reading Leo Babauta’s short dissertation on minimalism. He advocates avoiding the advertising and media that fans the flames of material desire. Now… [...]
Stand up and say WTF????
Every day I become a little less tolerant of our so-called charter of rights & freedoms… precisely because our government seems to think they can just erode & eradicate the pieces within it at their whim & fancy. Here’s a good example… According to our friends at OpenMedia.ca: The government is set to ram through [...]
are you kidding me??
I was doing a little research today – looking at what other “content managers” or “web designers” are offering in the way of social media marketing packages. Are you kidding me? $2400 to set up a client’s social media sites? Just how stupid do they think you guys are?!?! $497/m to maintain your social media? [...]
and what do YOU make?
I wish all teachers had this attitude… It’s god damned brilliant. Thank you, Taylor… you totally rock my world.
Because we ALL deserve better
Sonya Renee believes that what women deserve is something better… i would agree with her, but i wouldn’t stop there. We ALL deserve better – from our governments, our agencies, our service providers… ourselves. Sonya Renee’s passionate piece about choice is just the tiny tip of the iceberg… choice about our bodies is just the [...]
