Experiment – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Haves and wants, home

Mountain chalet — This was a temporary HQ in mid-September 2024. We had both rooms.

The saying goes like this…

We always want what we can’t have.

What if the saying was re-engineered…

We always have what we can’t want.

That reengineered sentence doesn’t resonate with me in any obvious way. Kinda like the way today’s blog titles didn’t fully go where i thought they might.

The “Summer 2024” blog experiment seems to have slowly morphed into a new style of writing, driven simply from trying to efficiently scale the admin side of the blogging effort.

Noteworthy: When blog titles are generic, like “Sperry Day One, mind”, the topic can be anything — ton of flexibility. When blog titles are not generic, like today’s titles focusing on a contrast between haves and wants, the title suggests you stay in that lane. This is a new discovery and new creative opportunity.

Writing experiment hunches

4-second video: How to kill your joy.

Writing experiment hunches:

Morning writing is generally better for daily 5-a-day.
Afternoon writing is better when writer’s flood hits.

Been flowing in and out of both, depending on the day, week, etc.

Photos slow you down

Disney Keynote speaker Jeff Noel in Finland — Finland, Summer 2009. Four months after beginning that fateful April Fools Day writing bootcamp challenge.

Photos slow you down.

Writing is the easy part.

Searching for a decently-themed photo is time consuming. Both from selecting to the administrative blogging functions required to load and format each image.

Experiment like you mean it

As a speaker, you must get used to seeing your photo plastered all over the place. It’s called marketing. People want to see, and know, a familiar and trusted face.

Experiment like you mean it.

Dear Son, be amazed and be amazing

Siri screen — Just talk. To real people.

Dear Son, last week you did two things differently in first period. You stopped listening to music and stopped reading.

Why?

A simple goal.

Just listen.

Listen to what others are talking about and listen for common ground.

Tomorrow, step two, talk.
