Ideas – Kirk Wheeler

One of the most amazing things about the time that we live in is the resources that are available to us. I found a site that I think is one of those special places that gives us a peek into the kind of world we are collectively creating.

CreativeLive.

They are billing themselves as a live worldwide classroom and they have classes on topics like marketing, business, photography and much more. If you watch the class live then it is free. After that you can buy the class and watch it whenever you want.

One of my favorite books about business is Josh Kaufman’s The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business and he just had a course this week. You can see the page here.

If you are someone who is creating something in this world and are getting paid for doing it or would like to be, then this video is very much worth your time. And if you are someone who pays people for the things that they create then this video is again, very much worth your time. It was recorded a few days ago at the TED conference.

This video reminded me what a fair exchange it really is and how all you need to do is ask with an open heart…..
