Having
a Body Double & So On
By Nilofer Merchant on Jul 24, 2013 02:27 pm
Hey there, and happy summer.
I’ve been abnormally quiet on the writing front, for a
variety of reasons.
Certainly, speaking has been incredibly demanding, yet
rewarding. I was touched by the conversations within the financial
community when I did the opening keynote at the Fund Forum International in Monaco.
(Being in Monaco was pretty awesome, too… ) When we can have equity
and fund managers understand ways to include new ideas rather than
fight-em-every-inch-of-the-way, our larger economy will have a shot at modernity. I’ve also
been inspired by several ideas so big that I am having a hard time
extracting one at a time. Which is just another way to say… when this
damn does break, be ready!
In lighter news… a fun project that’ll be debuted soon
is one that Red Maxwell and his team at Onramp Branding are co-creating with
me. They are designing a new “home” for the blog. For a writer like
me, it’s like asking people to come build a home for my heart. This
is where I’ll live for a while. Where I can invite you — the
community of Yes & Know — to join into a conversation and be a
host for what happens. It is likely the place for what will launch
the next big piece of work. Some people build elaborate homes with
fancy kitchens so they can entertain friends. Writers and creative
types like myself need amazing websites (that stand up to intense
traffic loads).
In preparation for the site, we had to get some pictures
ready. We had some already. But something was missing. So, today, I
learned I had a body double via Katelyn in Raleigh NC. (see picture).
Which reminds me to ask you regular subscribers…
There are things that many of you have already
written to me about .. to make the blog and related newsletter more
useful to you. Those ideas are certainly informing the redesign, but
if there’s anything
you want to make sure gets addressed, now is the time to mention it. As
always you can email me directly by just responding to the (for
subscribers) email. (and if you aren’t subscribed already to the
blog, why the heck note. Join in, love, the water’s fine…)
Hope your summer is equally interesting.
