Leadership

Do entrepreneurs change the world?

Grasshopper.com did a great job with their recent marketing campaign using social media. They created the above video, while a bit cliche, I thought it was nicely done.

Happening Gatherings…

This Saturday, I’ll be at the Cultivate Gathering – for those who are interested in church planting or creating mission-shaped churches.  Let me know if you’re interested. But if I was still a student, I’d be at this. It’s modeled very much after the TED conferneces and it’s right in the heart of Toronto.  They’ve [...]
