Not hypothetical money. Not imaginary money. Not money they were considering
spending. Real money the company was ALREADY spending.
Using my X-Ray Vision, I saw business opportunities and systems optimizations
which allowed them to save that $2 million dollars EACH year.
Then I started doing it for other companies.
29. (marketing / information Design)
The ability to
CommuniCate complex ideas
Design them in interesting ways
influenCe people to follow them
31. way past 10,000 hours of Designing
You might think “telepathic” is a stretch, but the ability to communicate an idea
from one mind to another is an amazing thing which takes years to develop.
My most recent display of power? Using my telepathic powers, I’ve influenced over
65,000 minds with just 3 SlideShare presentations.
With 18 years of professional design, I hit the 10,000 hour marker years ago.
According to some statistics, that qualifies me as an expert telepath. ;)

in the past year i’ve reaD 67 books
An Associated Press poll from 2007 reported that 27% of Americans had not read
a single book in the previous year. Of the 73% that had, the average was 6.5 books.
That means I read more than 10 times the national average (which doesn’t even take
into account the average 2500 blog articles per month that Google Reader says I
consume).
I’ve been reading like this for years...and I’ll tell you why in just a few slides.

You ask “why” first instead of saying “no”
You believe passion and energy are priceless
You feel your fears, acknowledge them, and keep moving
You want someone who can exceed your expectations
You commit passionately to getting things done
You aren’t paralyzed by the myth of perfect
You can be located anywhere and accept that I’m located in Dallas
(though being located somewhere tropical or exotic might change where I am located)
You appreciate a love for technology and art
You smile regularly and like to laugh
