I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” – Exodus 9:13-17

Let’s do this more often!

Man o man! I’m not a food guy. I’m not. I pretty much eat to survive. I do like chips a lot. And candy. I can eat that stuff all day. But on Sunday evening, after attending Detroit Soup, Kuhu and I went to Slows Bar B Q. I tell ya! The food there is downright awesome. I went with the Catfish, Brisket, and Jambalaya and I was not disappointed. On top of that, I got fries and mac n’ cheese as sides. The best part? My entire meal was only $20. Are you kidding me? If you haven’t been to Slows Bar B Q, make a reservation tonight!

I order the Italian. Original Size. With Bacon. On White. It’s the same order I get every time. Every week. But this time when I got to the counter, I realized my wallet was still in my car. I quickly told the cashiers and started to move towards the door, when they stopped me. “Don’t worry about it. This one is on us.” I was shocked. Perplexed. “Are you serious?” They were! Shout out to the kind folks at Potbelly on State St. in Ann Arbor, MI, for making my day this past Tuesday! I thank God for your generosity.

I love New York. No doubt about it. Late in May, I made another trip to NY that not only included meeting Seth Godin, but all the wonderful things that are portrayed below:

The idea behind Unionmade is simple. It’s quality. The clothing, shoes, accessories, books, and grooming supplies. I had a chance to stop by the Unionmade shop a few weeks ago while I was in San Francisco. I love grabbing inspiration from flagship stores, garments, whatever. I was very close to grabbing a Golden Bear jacket or a Levi’s Vintage Flannel Shirt but I decided to keep those monies in my pocket. Check out Unionmade’s website or store if you’re ever in San Fran.

I attended Seth Godin’s, Pick Yourself – Live in Tribeca, event last week. I’ll be blogging more about it hopefully over the weekend. Seth gave all of the attendees a gift to go home with. I’m now sharing that gift with you.

Authority?

You want the authority to create, to be noticed and to make a difference? You’re waiting for permission to stand up and speak up and ship?

Sorry. There’s no authority left.

Oprah has left the building. She can’t choose you to be on her show because her show is gone. YouTube wants you to have your own show now, but they’re not going to call you.

I returned from my trip to San Francisco last Thursday. The trip was awesome and I’ll be sharing more and more about my experience over the next few weeks. For now, check out some of the visuals from the journey.
