Ryan Holiday is a media genius who promotes, inflates and hacks some of the biggest names and brands in the world. He’s also the Director of Marketing for American Apparel. Oh, and he’s just 25 years old. His point-of-view is enlightening when it comes to understanding today's complex media landscape. You might remember that I had him on chasejarvisLIVE last year. Since then his book 'Trust Me I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator' has...

There is a school of thought that proposes the Earth is home to a smattering of "sacred sites" -- energy centers, places of mystery and wonder -- earth Chakras some call them. The Pyramids. Lake Titicaca. Mt. Fuji. You get it. I don't know if Paris is on that list, but it should be. There's a magic to that city, so much so that I lived there for a few years not all that long...

And while you know I'm always up for the occasional rant on this topic, I today decided to save myself a few blood vessels and some hot air, and instead passed the baton over to my homie, best-selling business/finance author and master of psychology, Ramit Sethi....

The goals of creative expression are to make statements, to generate awareness, initiate reflection, feeling or action. We want the art to do work. Such was the case with my Seattle 100 book & gallery exhibition. But, in truth, I had little understanding when I published the project how much or what kind of ‘work’...

[The debate continues about whether or not iPads are good portfolios for photographers and filmmakers. But those considerations aside, one thing I KNOW is that the iPad is great for is displaying photo & video content in a gallery setting, or on a studio wall in a waiting area.

-------- Note: NO, we didn’t have too much eggnog and accidentally re-publish a post from just before the holidays... We did, however, get a TON of reader requests from a lot of y'all who are using less and less Photoshop, and asked Scott if he could get similar results in Aperture or Lightroom. Short answer is YES.

Quick diversion from the normal banter here... What goes well with the holidays and photo books? Wine and chocolate. Wine and chocolate? Hopefully you're aware of my latest photo book project, Seattle 100: Portrait of City (hardback 10x10" 240 pages, 300 photographs - all my proceeds go to non-profit www.4culture.org). I've alluded to it in some posts before, but as a side show, we got together with a few friends and made some very tasty...
