This has been a crazy week! I know I’ve been behind in my blog entries. Here’s what’s been going on thus far. 1. Last Saturday, we handed out 200 free subway fare cards for our InsideOut outreach event. Some people were skeptical, which is understandable. Face it. Many things that are “free” have a catch [...]

I grew up in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands where everything was pretty laid back. Every once in awhile, something big happened (i.e. – Tim Duncan, hurricanes, etc.). I was a HUGE music fan growing up. I remember when the music videos for two major R&B/pop hits were shot in St. Thomas. Yeah. It was [...]

Today was another day in the field. Dale South, an SBCV missionary, and I hung out around Friendship Heights and Tenleytown. As a matter of fact, we WALKED from Friendship Heights past the Tenleytown metro stop. It was quite a lengthy walk, but very rewarding. We got a chance to talk a few people that [...]

Seth Godin speaks about the importance of investing resources in making your product remarkable, as opposed to spending alot of money in marketing. Once the product is remarkable, [...]
