Looking back at the IHTSBIH Tour, Part 1 of 2
A big incentive for me going on tour was that it would force me to finally learn Final Cut Pro and become an expert with high-end cameras. Or as I put it in an earlier post, I was going to get paid to earn a film school-level education.
More reactions to RPGrad
Seth Godin unexpectedly wrote about my e-book today, and the response has been amazing. First, it became today’s most talked about Slideshare e-book on Twitter, and the second most talked about e-book on Facebook.
The Portland and Seattle screenings
I was delusional last week. I legitimately thought I’d be able to take a break from the internet while on tour. Well, that’s clearly not gonna happen. I can already tell from just two screenings that there are going to be waaaay too many things I’ll want to write about.
It begins…
Tomorrow, I’m flying out to Portland for the first two screenings on the I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell tour. I’ll be doing a lot of filming and editing, setting up equipment, etc. You’ll be able to see footage I shoot/edit here.
Friends like these
I’m sure many of you have friends who want to start a company with you, yet they have nothing to their name that proves their value as a potential business partner. I don’t think I’ll partner with friends like these...
This post is patent pending
Last year, I helped someone launch a health industry product, focusing on online marketing and website design. The product's potential piqued my interest, leading me to seek a larger role. However, a few months later, we went our separate ways.
Initial reactions to RPGrad
Overall, I’ve been thrilled with the reception of Recession-Proof Graduate. It’s been downloaded and read by a few thousand people, and nearly all of the feedback has been positive and appreciative. To all those who read the first version of the book, thanks.
Announcing: My first e-book
Several of you have emailed me, saying, “I noticed you tag a lot of articles as ‘rpgrad’ in Delicious. What does that mean?” Well, here’s your answer: I’ve written an e-book called “Recession-Proof Graduate.”
Fail cheap
A friend of mine was telling me how he wanted to leave his part-time job so he could go to film school and become a video editor. I asked if he’d ever done any editing before, and he said, “No, but I think it’d be a lot of fun." Kill me now.
How I got into video editing
ESPN’s “Images of the Century” catalyzed my interest in video editing. I must have watched it 100 times back in high school. I remember showing it to several of my friends, and being amazed that this video could give all of us goosebumps.
