"Why don't we build a network that connects every single member of the human race and merges their collective knowledge?"
 
Even Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn might have looked at you a little funny for the suggestion.
 
Yet here the internet is, in all its cat-laden glory.
 
If we had to predict in detail everything we wanted to accomplish, we'd fail miserably.
 
Thank God for that. 

I wish there was a way to print this cartoon on every college diploma.

We spend so much time worrying about the future. If we're getting the status, money, respect, etc, that we think we're owed.

What if we let go of that fear, and focused on what mattered? On mastering our craft and shutting out anything that got in our way?

Just a thought.
We're so excited to be attending SXSW '15. It's our first time back since 2012 and it's gonna be awesome. Hugh is giving a keynote on how art impacts business. We'll have booths at the main Interactive trade show and the SX Health and MedTech Expo. And of course, tons of Gapingvoid swag to give away.
 
This piece is special though - a one of a kind way to commemorate this year's event. Limited edition and only for our fans. Make sure to pick one up now if you want one - they won't be available after SXSW ends (March 22, 2015).

Five thousand one hundred and twenty-six failed vacuum cleaners.

That's how many prototypes it took for James Dyson to get it right.

5, 127 was his lucky number. He's now worth over $4 billion.

It's not about being brilliant, or about always being right.

It's about not giving up before you have the chance to succeed.
The key difference between leaders and managers: leaders know how to handle their fear.

Notice I didn't say: leaders are not afraid.

They are. Leaders just don't let the fear of not being liked, the fear of failure, etc, get in their way.

One of the best arguments for taming your lizard brain there is, I think.
new art block!
 
We created this art block from one of our most shared images. A good reminder that growth doesn't happen by accident, you have to create it.

"Growth Isn't A Strategy" can be purchased here.
When I was young and stupid, I thought the interesting bit about business was the money part.

But that never stays very interesting, does it?

What makes business interesting isn’t the stuff, the rewards. What makes it interesting is the people you get to meet and interact with.

Books and TV like to portray business people as grey and dull, but how wrong that is. Business is absolutely fascinating, end of story.
