Innovation and Inspiration
“Innovation is simply doing things differently and doing different things”
Today a story about an artist and a simple innovation inspired by us all being on Zoom in lockdown.
Oh, and some reflections on setting up an office back in 2013 that was, in hindsight an early example of a “remote first” business choosing a place to come together to meet and collaborate.
Hugh McLeod
Many years ago I saw the art of Hugh McLeod of Gaping Void in his collaborations with Seth Godin.
In 2012 Seth chose to publish his latest book, The Icarus Deception, via Kickstarter. I chose the option with 8 copies of the book, 2 copies of V is for Vulnerable, plus “the mammoth digital collection in print, a book heavy enough to kill a small mammal”.
Icarus Deception is my favourite writing by Seth and I even ran a book club in Cayman around it when it was released via Kickstarter, plus gave V is for Vulnerable to a number of clients.
Of all of these books, I particularly loved the “adult picture book: “V is for Vulnerable”, which, as Seth put it: “V is takes the last chapter of The Icarus Deception and wakes it up and brings it to life.”
Our office was first, a meeting and collaboration space
