… is the t-shirt. The (printed-on) t-shirt probably advertises better and more frequently than money could buy. This team’s logo, that cause and its sponsors, this crazy piece of art, or that company that makes clothing to print on. They print on the shirts and we advertise for them. Simple. Ingenious. It’s like a business [...]

In ten years, we’ll barely remember what it felt like to open the wrapper and smell the smell of a new album. To read the lyrics and admire the band’s artistic photography. The music inside was icing on the cake. The album itself was a piece of art. We don’t have that now. We’ve killed [...]

I’ve never seen an ad for Southern California. All I’ve ever heard is from people who’ve visited there. They talk incessantly about the beauty of the mountains and ocean, how everyone has a tan, how the weather is always cooperative, and how people seem more laid back. They don’t talk about shootings, endless traffic, crowds [...]

You’ll have a better chance of succeeding if you only do incredible stuff. Advertising doesn’t always work, but if you do something awesome, people love it! Just thought you’d like some examples of this at work. Our church doesn’t do much advertising. We spend most of our time on making what we do well even [...]

I get caught up in details. I end up debating endlessly about color choices, 15 minutes here or there, and the order of doing things. You and I are probably alike in that we over-think things…. Sometimes we can bury the things that we could get done, with the small stuff. It has a way [...]

I don’t think Twitter has reached its full potential as of yet. Here are a few creative ways that Twitter could be helpful in building communities… maybe you’re already doing these….maybe you’re not… Apply them to your own world…. •What if yours and each local starbucks was a twitterer? How would that build a community [...]

Sure, we’re thirteen days into 2009, but it’s taken a bit of time to refine our list of goals (or what a win would look like) for the year. Obviously, it’s good to have goals, but only if you’re going to do the work and make the sacrifices to accomplish them. Take them seriously. Without [...]

or an organization to feed every homeless person in your city…. or a church…. or insert your own big idea…. There is a way to do it. You must build unique change into the DNA. So many churches, companies, or whatever are so unwilling to change that they crumble. So why not build it in [...]

A wise leader and I were talking about this other day. He shared that his (he is in his fifties) and many previous generations have seemed to live to work. In other words, much of their identity lies in their “job.” People who place their identity in a job or position sometimes forget they are [...]
