If I could choose to be anywhere on the morning of Monday May 20th 2013, I would choose to be in Omaha.
Two friends, Joe Gerstandt and Jason Lauritsen are going on an adventure. It’s called The Frontier Project. They won’t be travelling alone, a band of courageous, restless souls will be joining them to blaze a trail. I predict they will have an exciting, challenging and valuable time together. I’m not generally afflicted by FoMo (Fear of Missing Out) but in this case I’ll make an exception, and though we’re many miles apart – I’ll be there in spirit.
Joe and Jason are kind enough to check in with me from time to time. Sometimes we share business ideas, sometimes we try and bust a few creative moves, our fledgling poetry slam fits nicely into this category. As nice as it is, we don’t just talk – I get real challenge and push back from my conversations with Jason and Joe. I find I thrive when I have an edge to sharpen my thinking on and Joe and Jason are a key part of that edge.
I’m planning some exciting developments with a trusted friend and associate to develop and bring the ‘Proceed Until Apprehended’ approach to work to market this Autumn, and In the next few weeks, ‘I’m Not An Artist’ will be available for you to experiment with. Would these possibilities be coming to reality without time spent with Jason and Joe? Probably. Would they feel the same to me as they do now? Unlikely.
So – if you’re in Omaha on Monday, get along to The Frontier Project. And if you’re not, then check these two poems on Perseverance for a hint of what you may be missing.
Perseverance Rocks – I’ll just say that again
