Now, that’s what I call Beer O’Clock! How to get your team to do the boring stuff
Tired of doing compulsory time sheets? JWT in Brazil had an idea about how to make time sheets more fun. A little bit of technology, a bit of beer, and the near impossible happened. Time sheets were completed with minimal fuss.
Ever wondered if you’re making a difference? The truth is, without even trying, everything you do is changing the universe
By boiling the kettle to make a cup of coffee, you are changing the universe. How? Pauli’s Exclusion Principle means that a change in energy levels in one part of universe, means the rest of the universe must adapt and move to accommodate the change. Energy levels aren’t just for the drumming circles in Byron Bay. And yes, this has a lot to do with entrepreneurship.
Why I love being proven wrong, well sometimes. I’ll admit it, I was wrong about ukuleles

Bears! Hunters! Salty language! It’s time for another choose-your-own-adventure ad
You might recall the first interactive YouTube ad from Tipp-Ex, you know, the correcting tape that you use if you still bother to hand write.

Is this the best or worst promotion for a startup space you’ve ever seen?
Large companies spend big bucks on making their organisations look uber-sophisticated and polished. This video, on the other hand, took three minutes and 12 seconds to film and maybe a little less to edit. (Maybe.) It’s a very ‘lean’ debut for a much needed addition to the Queensland startup ecosystem. And that’s exactly how it should be.
Here’s why saying ‘My customers are not on Facebook’ is like saying ‘My customers don’t watch television’. It’s kinda stoopid.
An old buddy of mine recently mentioned that his business had no place on Facebook. What my unsuspecting friend didn’t realise was that, on the following day, I was scheduled to make a presentation on “How to create a self-building, largely self-managing Facebook prospect base” on behalf of Interactive Minds. While that exchange lasted, maybe, 45 minutes, I have distilled my main arguments into this two-minute hump dump.
