Life In Perpetual Beta
By day Melissa Pierce acts as a creative coach, for entrepreneurs in the Chicago Area. On the side she's got an interesting project called Life In Perpetual Beta. A few weeks ago, Melissa turned the camera on me and the video above is what resulted. We talked about a few topics including creativity, authenticity, design thinking and personal branding. Other contributers to Melissa's video project have been Dan Pink, author of a Whole New Mind, entrepreneur Gary Veynerchuck, designer Carlos Segura, Jason Fried, Jim Coudal, Liz Strauss and more. Have a look at the videos. Worth checking out. for sure.
Good interview. Needs better background music though (imo)

Thanks for sharing. The notion of being you - what a concept... Often times, we leave out the most important element.

David,
I love that video.
What wonderful answers you have for those questions. I'm especially grateful for the way you discussed what authenticity means to you and that you have to come to a place where you accept who you are ... beautiful!
I'm also appreciative of the way you spoke about creativity as a basic skill that we all have, as children it looked like gazing up at the clouds and imagining shapes. What you do now is take that skill and harness it to solve problems ... lovely!
Thanks for doing what you do, and being who you are.
Sincerely,
Christine
