The Hustler's MBA

“The problem is that you can’t just compare college to doing nothing at all. You have to compare it to what you COULD have done.” - The Hustler’s MBA

“According to the second law of thermodynamics, things fall apart. Structures disintegrate. Buckminster Fuller hinted at a reason we are here: By creating things, by thinking up new combinations, we counteract this flow of entropy. We make new structures, new wholeness, so the universe comes out even. A shepherd on a hilltop who looks at a mess of stars and thinks, ‘There’s a hunter, a plow, a fish,’ is making mental connections that have as much real force in the universe as the very fires in those stars themselves.”—Charles Bukowski, Arthur C. Clarke, Annie Dillard, John Cage, and Others on the Meaning of Life | Brain Pickings

“So when you realise you’ve gone a few weeks and haven’t felt that awful struggle of your childish self — struggling to lift itself out of its inadequacy and incompetence — you’ll know you’ve gone some weeks without meeting new challenge, and without growing, and that you’ve gone some weeks towards losing touch with yourself. The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”—Ted Hughes on Our Universal Inner Child, in a Beautiful Letter to His Son | Brain Pickings

So, I had a baby. Did I tell you that already, invisible blog readers? Here he is:

I KNOW. That drool monster is my child. I can hardly stand it.

He’s now just over 5 months old and well, I’m ready to go back to work. Ready to find a bit more balance in my life and contribute in new…

Shannon has been one of my best friends since childhood and to this day she’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. Incredibly smart, hard working and passionate about all the things she does.

Her dream ~~job~~ mission is to make a difference in this world. She’s helped non-profits and grassroots organizations use digital tools to grow their support even tiny budgets. Yes, she is a mother in North Carolina, but what’s important is she’s ready to do the work.

Her ideal role looks like this one at Purpose. If you can help make it a reality or know a similar role, get in touch! See for yourself on Linkedin (hint: Duke grad, public policy, Wake Forest Ugrad).

“Rather than the broadcast mentality, what brands increasingly need is the ability to leverage the relationships potential of Facebook in ways that add value to their customers and that makes relevant purchasing behavior more convenient. Do this well and everyone wins.”—The world’s largest relationships platform
