Susan Boyle’s Inspiring Moment

April 15, 2009

(The first of many such moments is my guess.) Wow. This is inspiring and absolute proof that you should never give up on your dreams. What I love here is that it seems clear to Susan that she’s supposed to be there, it’s just everyone else who doesn’t get it. Awesome. (Love the song choice too!)

Jacek Utko: Can design save the newspaper?

April 01, 2009

Jacek Utko is a very smart guy who saw an opportunity to use design to save newspapers in Europe. He makes a great case, and has some really insightful observations, not only about the newspaper business, but the role of design is business today. It’s short. Watch it.

Happy Masochist is a straight forward and light-hearted look at owning, running and living with a small design business.

About Me (D. Keith Robinson)

I’ve owned my small business, Seattle-based design agency Blue Flavor, since the Fall of 2005. In that time I've learned quite a bit about running a business and made more than my share of mistakes. I talk about all of that and more here at Happy Masochist. Grab the RSS feed.
