When you are proud of your work, you want the whole world to see and know it. That’s how one employee of the Pinakothek der Moderne felt, The Pinakothek der Moderne is an art museum built by Stephan Braunfels in Munich, Germany, with approximately 20,000 art pieces, It is one of the world’s leading institutions for painting, sculpture, photography, and new media, But one employee thought something was missing. Despite being surrounded by works from Picasso, Magritte, and Dalí, this 51-year-old freelance artist believed the museum needed something else-his own painting, Surely, as people stared with wonder at some of the magnificent 20,000 art pieces in this museum, they would become equally enamored with this guy’s work, Pride usually doesn’t end well. But for those who follow Jesus, humility is not just helpful-it’s essential.” Well, he certainly got noticed, and he was promptly fired, It is unclear if he was fired for his bad art or the fact that he drilled two holes in a wall to hang his two feet by four feet picture. But one thing is clear: humility could have saved him from embarrassment and losing his job. His story is a funny reminder that pride usually doesn’t end well. But for those who follow Jesus, humility is not just helpful-it’s essential. The post ESSENTIALS FOR CHRISTIAN LIVING – A Humble Attitude (YOU-Sum’26, Study 2, Session 4) appeared first on YOU.

Giuseppe Scaraffia"Una strana coppia"Jean CocteauTraduzione di Simona MambriniEdizioni Adelphiwww.adelphi.itSole e Luna alle prese con l'educazione dei loro piccoli astri – una storia scritta e disegnata da Cocteau per i lettori più giovani.Per la strana coppia di questa storia l'educazione dei figli è una faccenda piuttosto complicata. Troppo presi dalle loro incombenze, il signor e la signora Sole (nata Luna) affidano i loro piccoli astri alle cure di un cane che si guadagna da vivere come venditore ambulante di palloncini. Ma le conseguenze di una scelta a dir poco avventata non tarderanno ad arrivare...Basato sull'edizione originale pubblicata in tiratura limitata nel 1948, questo libro invita i lettori più giovani ad avventurarsi nel mondo grafico di Jean Cocteau.Giuseppe Scaraffia (1948) è un giornalista, saggista e critico letterario italiano, tra le firme storiche de "Il Sole 24 Ore" e collaboratore de "La Stampa". Esperto di Ottocento e Novecento francese, dandismo e mondanità letteraria, ha dedicato numerosi saggi a figure come Baudelaire, i dandy parigini e la vita mondana europea tra Otto e Novecento. Tra le sue opere più note: "Dandies", "Il romanzo di Parigi" e vari volumi sulle grandi cortigiane e sui salotti letterari.Jean Cocteau (Maisons-Laffitte, 1889 – Milly-la-Forêt, 1963) è stato un poeta, scrittore, drammaturgo, regista e artista visivo francese, figura centrale dell'avanguardia del Novecento. Legato all'ambiente surrealista pur mantenendo una voce indipendente, ha attraversato quasi ogni forma espressiva: dal romanzo ("Les Enfants terribles") al teatro ("La Voix humaine"), dal cinema ("La Belle et la Bête", "Orphée") al disegno. Amico e collaboratore di artisti come Picasso, Stravinsky e Diaghilev, resta una delle personalità più poliedriche della cultura francese del XX secolo.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

n Episode 293 of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark dive into Albert Read's inspiring book The Imagination Muscle to explore why imagination isn't an inborn gift—it's a muscle that grows stronger with deliberate practice.Together they unpack how the world's greatest creators develop original ideas, why boredom may be one of your greatest creative assets, and how adopting a beginner's mindset can unlock fresh thinking. They also discuss practical exercises to strengthen your imagination, overcome fear, and make creativity part of your everyday life.If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or convinced that you're “just not creative,” this episode offers a refreshing perspective—and a practical roadmap—to help you think differently and create with greater confidence.Primary Website: https://www.moonshots.io/Book: The Imagination Muscle by Albert ReadBuy on Amazon: https://geni.us/TsrReYWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-bZ3cn7rCVw⸻Key Themes* Imagination is a skill that can be trained.* Great ideas come from combining diverse sources of inspiration.* Creativity flourishes when we deliberately make time for quiet thinking.* A beginner's mindset helps us escape routine and discover fresh perspectives.* Social media and constant stimulation can limit original thinking.* Fear is one of the biggest obstacles to creativity.* Small, consistent creative habits compound into lasting growth.⸻Concepts & BreakthroughsImagination Is a MuscleAlbert Read reframes creativity as a practice rather than a personality trait. Like physical fitness, imagination strengthens through regular use. Mike and Mark reflect on how this simple shift removes the pressure of waiting for inspiration and replaces it with consistent action.Collect Better InputsThe episode highlights that creative breakthroughs often result from unexpected combinations of ideas. Picasso, Aaron Sorkin and other creative masters all developed unique rituals for gathering inspiration before producing original work.Rather than searching for one brilliant idea, listeners are encouraged to become collectors—of books, conversations, observations and experiences—that can later combine into something entirely new.Protect Space for ThinkingModern life is filled with interruptions, notifications and endless streams of information. Albert argues that imagination needs space to breathe.Mike and Mark discuss creating intentional moments of quiet through walks, uninterrupted mornings, observation exercises and even scheduled boredom—allowing the mind to connect ideas naturally.The Power of the Beginner's MindExperts often become trapped by familiar thinking. Approaching problems with curiosity instead of certainty creates opportunities for innovation.Reading outside your normal interests, asking simple questions and deliberately seeking unfamiliar experiences all help develop fresh perspectives.Courage Before CreativityOne of the episode's strongest insights is that imagination grows alongside courage.Every sketch, poem, voice memo or imperfect idea strengthens resilience against fear of failure. Rather than waiting until ideas are perfect, creative confidence develops through repeated attempts and experimentation.⸻Habits, Tools & Mental Models* Treat imagination like a daily workout.* Collect ideas, quotes and observations in an idea bank.* Schedule periods without digital distractions.* Go for curiosity walks with the goal of noticing something new.* Read outside your usual genres and interests.* Combine two unrelated ideas to generate fresh thinking.* Use voice notes or journals to capture ideas immediately.* Practice one small creative act every day.* Embrace boredom instead of filling every quiet moment.* Ask beginner's questions, even when you think you know the answer.

In this episode of Exploring Art Podcast, we discuss Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and why it became one of the most revolutionary paintings in modern art. We explore why the artwork shocked early audiences, the meaning behind its title, how it helped inspire Cubism, and whether Picasso's decision to keep it hidden was driven by fear, doubt, or defiance.

Retrouvez l'épisode en version française ici : https://www.gdiy.fr/podcast/robert-gentz-vf/It's the largest e-commerce company in Europe, just behind Amazon.And it all started with flip flops.Robert Gentz co-founded Zalando in 2008, after his first startup left him too broke to buy a flight ticket home from Mexico.With his co-founder, they tested the market with a one-page flip flop shop in Berlin. It worked. So they built a full shoe destination on top of it.The growth that followed is hard to believe: 6 million euros the first entire year, 160 million in year two, 500 million in year three.Today Zalando does 20 billion euros in gross merchandise value across 29 countries.But Europe doesn't make it easy.Robert learned that the hard way when the TV ad that turned Zalando into a German phenomenon became "the worst ad in the Netherlands" a few months later.Same continent, completely different reaction.That's the real story of building at scale in Europe: 29 different markets, 29 different consumer psychologies, and no shortcuts around any of them.In this episode, Robert reveals:Why Europe's fragmentation is both Zalando's biggest obstacle and its strongest moatThe real reason free returns increase order value instead of killing marginsWhy Zalando builds its own tech stack instead of buying off the shelfHow AI is already rewriting the rules of e-commerceWhy he turned down a US listing and what that says about Europe's futureA rare look into a company that proved Europe can build at global scale in less than 20 years, and what it will take to do it again.You can follow Robert on LinkedIn.The GDIY15 code will get you 15% off on Zalando from €50 spent, valid until 31.07.2026 at 11:59pm.TIMELINE:00:00:00 - The flip flop test before the shoe empire 00:12:06 - Fundraising Needs a Reference Point 00:19:38 - Build vs Buy: When to Own Your Technology 00:30:24 - "Europe is the hardest market on earth" 00:40:58 - The biggest mistake Zalando ever made 00:53:11 - Why the US Out-Scales Europe 01:00:31 - Running a company is like co-parenting 01:10:12 - The Country Launch Playbook 01:19:03 - Democratizing fashion from Paris to northern Finland 01:28:54 - Why fashion is still one of the most inefficient businesses 01:36:43 - AI could turn us into a commodity 01:47:41 - Stock market : Why Chosing Frankfurt Over Nasdaq ? 02:01:52 - "Speed Is the Only Advantage That Matters in the AI Age"We referred to previous GDIY episodes : #496 - Sébastien Kopp - VEJA - Faire du business autrement#487 - VF - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business et IA : rien ne sera jamais plus comme avant#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again#311 - Pascal Meyer - QoQa - Vendre un Picasso à sa communauté : quand l'e-commerce n'a plus de limite#81 - Jacques Antoine Granjon - Cofondateur VEEPEE - l'aventure, l'hypercroissance, les marques et l'instinct#11 - Sébastien Kopp - VEJA 2/2 - Réussir dans la mode en préservant le monde#10 - Sébastien Kopp - VEJA 1/2 - concurrencer Nike et Adidas avec du Développement DurableA few recent episodes in English : #542 - VO - Yoni Assia - eToro - “AI Will Replace Most Traders in 18 Months”#513 - VO - Jesper Brodin - IKEA - 40 billion in revenue empire with no bank loan#500 - VO - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - How to master humanity's most powerful invention#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again#475 - VO - Shane Parrish - Farnam Street - Clear Thinking: The Decision-Making Expert#473 - VO - Brian Chesky - Airbnb - « We're just getting started »#452 - VO - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - L'humanité 2.0 : Homo technicus plus qu'Homo sapiens#437 - James Dyson - Dyson - “Failure is more exciting than success”#431 - Sean Rad - Tinder - How the swipe fever took over the worldWe spoke about :Fort KnoxSalesforce CRMAmazon Web ServicesN8N : AI agents and workflowsyou can see and controlLovableReading Recommendations :Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose, by Tony Hsieh

Sull'Altopiano dei Sette Comuni ormai lo conoscono tutti. Tra le contrade di Foza, da qualche mese, un tasso particolarmente confidente e dall'aria paffuta si aggira indisturbato lungo strade, prati e cortili, tanto da meritarsi un nome tutto suo: Picasso.

Doyen des ponts de la Seine, le Pont Neuf incarne à lui seul, lʹhistoire et les transformations de la capitale française. Incontournable des circuits touristiques, il a également inspiré de nombreux artistes, parmi lesquels Renoir, Picasso, ainsi que Christo et Jeanne-Claude qui lʹavaient emballé en 1985. Quarante et un ans après, cʹest lʹartiste français JR qui le rhabille. Son projet : transformer le pont en une immense caverne de 120 mètres de long. À cette occasion, Monumental revient sur lʹhistoire de ce monument emblématique avec Nicolas Lyon-Caen, chargé de recherche au CNRS.

Pablo Picasso is known as one of the greatest artists of all time, and he made many works of art that are still talked about today. In this episode we will explore his work that is considered to be the most controversial of all time. ‘Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' is a painting that is made up of heavily distorted human forms, which are unlike any other traditional views of beauty that have been portrayed in art before. In this episode we will look at the genius behind this work of art and also explore the possible cause of such a work of art, and how Picasso used his paintings to express the deep rooted societal problems that were going on at the time. We will also explore the fine line between artistic innovation and pure ugliness, and ask the question, can a work of art be so visionary that it makes us feel uncomfortable? We will also look at how people view ‘Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' today, and compare it to how people viewed it after the trauma of history had developed. Join us as we delve into the many layers of this groundbreaking work of art, and have a discussion on whether or not it is beautiful, and what we really mean by the word beautiful. Is true beauty found in a work of art that is full of harmony, or in the cracks of a broken and fractured human form.

We dissect Picasso's debut painting and how it changed art forever by inspiring a new movement and style.

In this episode we go through the case study of one of Picasso's most important masterpieces "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon"1907. Within this episode of the podcast we dive into a painting Picasso decided to hide from the world for 9 long years until its final unraveling to the world in Paris 9 years after its finish. This painting at first sight may not seem like it holds much meaning but through a deeper look in this episode we explore different themes that emerged from this artwork. From the start of cubism to the confinement of sexuality & the reasons for the african masks, we dive into every aspect and cover it all to revival Picasso's true meaning.

This episode explains the meaning behind Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, considered one of the most significant paintings of modern times. This episode also talks about our first impressions of the painting, Picasso's reluctance to unveil it, and the changing nature of beauty over time. At intervals, we connect this case study to the topics from Chapter 2 (beauty, ugliness, aesthetic experience.) Is great art expected to be beautiful, or can anything that shocks initially be considered a masterpiece? Join us as we talk about how this piece continues to change how people talk about art today.

In this episode, we explore Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and discuss its status as one of the most controversial paintings in modern art. We examine how concepts of beauty, ugliness, and cultural influence shaped public reactions and contributed to its recognition as a masterpiece. Join us as we connect philosophy, art history, and aesthetics to understand why certain works of art challenge audiences before inspiring them.

A designer with 20+ years of experience sits in front of twelve competent, AI-generated screens... and can't evaluate a single one. Not because they're bad. Because something is missing. And the same thing happened to me.In this episode, I investigate this case like a detective story: What was taken from us? Who took it? The answer turned out to be the most hopeful thing I've learned about design in years, disguised as a crisis. Because the comps were never the design. The comps are the artifact. The design is the model in your head, and no tool can generate it.In this episode:The mystery: why the most trained design judgment goes offline in front of good AI output (and why "AI output is slop" is the wrong explanation)The three suspects: the AI, the speed, and the surprising real culpritWhy "the back-and-forth builds the model": the experiment that proves your value was never in the pixelsThe cold case behind it all: how we spent 20 years selling the first three rounds, and why that gap just closed foreverThe stakes ladder: what happens when a designer, a team, or a whole organization over-trusts AI outputTaste redefined: deciding, not decorating, and why having no opinion defaults to the averageThe open question: if artifacts are cheap, is the "living transcript" the design deliverable of the future?Your homework: five questions before pixelsResources mentioned:Christopher Noessel "Design Was Never the Comps: What I learned when Claude Design dumped a dozen screens on me"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/design-was-never-the-comps-what-i-learned-when-claude-design-dumped-a-dozen-screens-on-me-73893af464aeChristopher Noessel "RationaleBot: Why design's near-future deliverable is a living transcript"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/rationalebot-why-designs-near-future-deliverable-is-a-living-transcript-c70613215359Christopher Noessel — "Get Claude Design to present like a consultant" (follow-up with the practical prompt)https://christophernoessel.medium.com/get-claude-design-to-present-like-a-consultant-6bf22261717fRoger Wong "A Sunday Afternoon with Claude Design" (the squiggly line, Picasso's nine Guernica studies)https://rogerwong.me/2026/04/sunday-afternoon-claude-designAnthony Wood (House of gAi) "Claude Design Came for the First Three Rounds.

The RPM Show Episode 26 Hosted by DJ DON PICASSO LIVE FROM ATLANTA, GA PLEASE DRIVE RESPONSIBLY LET US PUT YOU ON

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Peyton Scott Russell joins Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings to discuss a community mural project made possible through a Minnesota State Arts Board grant that brought together North High School students, emerging artists, and local organizations. He shares how the project began with an artist residency focused on expressive portraiture, encouraging students to explore creativity and self-expression by studying influential artists such as Picasso, Basquiat, and Butler. The second phase paired North High students with members of Russell's advanced SPRAYFiNGER program, creating one-on-one mentorships that culminated in a collaborative public mural. Russell also highlights the many businesses, artists, and community partners whose support demonstrates how public art can inspire young people, strengthen neighborhoods, and bring communities together. He said that there will also be an official unveiling of the mural on Saturday, July 18th on the corner of Penn & Broadway.

Coding agents have gotten really good at one kind of work. You scope a feature, edit some files, run the tests, ship it. It all happens on disk. But that is not how data work feels. You load something, you look at it, you run a cell, you watch how it responds, and you decide the next move from whatever is sitting in memory. And until now, your agent couldn't see any of that. It only saw the files. Never the live state. This episode, that wall comes down. marimo pair drops a coding agent right inside a running notebook, with full access to every variable Python is holding in memory. The notebook becomes a shared canvas. You point, it runs the code. You tell it to zoom in on the Picasso paintings, and the chart just updates. No MCP tools to wire up, no schema to describe. Just Python, and an agent that can finally see what you see. Trevor Manz is back to walk us through it.

This week on Mouse Chat, Sharpie takes us to Europe for a father-son high-school graduation trip through Spain and Portugal — a destination his oldest son picked as he heads off to study architecture. From Gaudí's Sagrada Família to a flamenco tablao, high-speed trains, beach towns, and Lisbon's tile shops, here's an honest trip report with real tips you can use to plan your own visit. What we cover this week: The route: flying Aer Lingus out of Pittsburgh with a 12-hour Dublin layover each way, then Barcelona (3 nights) → high-speed train to Madrid → train to Seville → local train to Cádiz → back to Seville → a flight to Lisbon, plus a day trip to Cascais. Barcelona: an 8-hour guided tour, an hour inside Sagrada Família (and why the light, the facades, and the windows are unlike any cathedral you've seen), the Gothic Quarter, a Picasso mural, Park Güell, the harbor cable car, neighborhood markets, and a breathtaking live flamenco show. Riding the rails: what first class on Spain's high-speed trains is really like (lounge, meal service, roomy seats) and the fields of sunflowers "as far as the eye can see" between Madrid and Seville. Madrid: a tuk-tuk tour on a 104°F record-heat day — including the AI-translation guide snafu — and how to roll with it when a tour doesn't go to plan. Cádiz: a relaxing beach-town break, a spa hotel with a full thermal suite and 75-minute massages for about $100 each, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. Lisbon & Cascais: the cleanest city of the trip, the designer-lined Avenida da Liberdade, a rooftop-pool hotel, hunting down handmade Portuguese pottery and antique tiles, and cliff divers at a beautiful beach town 40 minutes away. Real-world tips: Spain's excellent public transit, the current euro exchange rate (about $1.15 to €1), walking 75 miles over nine days, and Sharpie's planning method — book the big-ticket sights, then fill the gaps with finds along the way.

Can the work outlive the man enough to forgive him? Frank Lloyd Wright designed the homes that quietly shaped how millions of Americans live — and he was, by nearly every account, a genuinely difficult person to love. David (Black Sheep Makery, Big Dudu, Dudetunes) joins me to trace Wright's life from a childhood box of wooden blocks to Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and a tragedy at his own home that killed seven people. We use his story to ask a bigger question: when the art is this good, does the artist's life even matter — and where do we draw that line today?

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   I don't know about you, but when I think about the Tour de France I hear one man's voice. A legend of commentary who's currently covering the Grande Boucle for the 53rd time, I am absolutely gee'd up to bring you my interview with the one and only Phil Liggett.   Phil really has seen it all from his early days as a wannabe racer through to finding the microphone, and a lifetime of calling the Tour de France and some of the biggest cycling moments in the last half century. He has spanned the careers of so many riders from Hinault and Lemond through the Armstrong years up to Pogačar and Vingegaard, and has got endless stories to tell.   This episode, which I recorded with Phil in person back at the Tour Down Under in January, was a real privilege. I've tried my hand and commentary, and it was amazing to hear Phil explain the art of calling a bike race. I learnt so much from him - it's like asking Picasso how to paint, Shane Warne how to spin bowl, or Pogi how to win a bike race; he is the absolute master of the craft. We even had a go at re-voicing the iconic finish to the 2016 Paris-Roubaix - you have GOT to hear that. An absolute once in a lifetime moment for me!   Guys, this episode is a really special one. We speak about so much - from Phil's perfect partnership with the late great Paul Sherwen, how commentary has changed throughout his career, and how his job is to - as he puts it - “stop the old lady from going to make a cup of tea”.   What better man to have on the pod during the Tour de France than this absolute icon. Get yourself comfortable and enjoy this chat with the master of the mic - Mr Phil Liggett.   Cheers, Mitch     This episode is bought to you by Saily and SHOKZ Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

Part Two: Stephan Bajaio on Digital VisibilityAnika continues her conversation with Stephan Bajaio, diving deeper into what it really means to lead people in a way that outlasts you. Moving beyond business strategy, this episode explores the human side of leadership—passion, failure, servant leadership, mindfulness, and the balance between "vibe" and "logic" that defines sustainable team culture.In this conversation, Stephan shares his framework for leadership rooted in four core beliefs, his daily Tefillin practice and gratitude ritual, why Performance Improvement Plans are misused as firing mechanisms, and how parenting a daughter influences his approach to building confident, empowered teams.In This EpisodeThe four pillars of leadership: passion, failure, servant leadership, and empowermentWhy passion can't be taught—only discoveredCreating environments where vulnerability and failure are welcomed, not punishedFlipping the org chart: servant leadership as a behavior, not a positionHow to empower people in small doses and build their confidence through affirmationThe myth of PIPs as firing tools—and how they actually transform performanceWhy not every high performer should become a managerThe "human being" vs. "human doing" trap and how to escape itDaily mindfulness practices: Tefillin, gratitude, and intentionalityVibe + Logic: the duality that defines sustainable businessWhy your company culture is defined by how people leave, not how they arriveKey Timestamps02:28 – The four pillars of leadership begin04:01 – Failure is not only welcome, it's expected08:58 – Leadership is a behavior, not a position13:09 – Empower your people first—in small doses with follow-up affirmation18:51 – PIPs aren't meant to fire someone—that's corporate nonsense31:00 – The "human being" vs. "human doing" trap and daily mindfulness practice43:06 – Building confident, independent women and team members44:40 – Vibe + Logic: the duality that defines sustainable business50:00 – Stephan to participate in upcoming AI and workforce skills podcastsKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Passion Is Discovered, Not TaughtThe most valuable asset in leadership can't be developed through training programs. It has to exist within people. Stephan's approach to hiring is built on understanding what motivates people—what gets them up in the morning—because that's the fuel that carries them through failure and challenges.Insight 2: Leadership Is a Behavior, Not a PositionThe title doesn't make you a leader. Your actions do. Servant leadership means flipping the traditional org chart so your job becomes supporting those around you, not commanding from above. This shift in mindset changes everything about how teams respond to you.Insight 3: Empower in Small Doses, Then AffirmDon't just hand someone a big responsibility and walk away. Give them leadership opportunities in manageable pieces, then follow up with genuine affirmation. The power of a thank you is shocking—people often overlook how much courage it took someone to step outside their comfort zone.Insight 4: PIPs Should Improve, Not FirePerformance Improvement Plans are routinely misused as mechanisms to force people out. When done right, PIPs actually transform performance. Stephan has seen people on PIPs become star players because they understood the company wasn't trying to get rid of them—it was trying to help them succeed.Insight 5: Your Culture Is Defined by How People LeaveThe way employees exit your company says more about your culture than how you bring them in. If you're not celebrating the alumni who've gone on to bigger things, you're missing the point. People aren't assets to trap—they're people to empower.Insight 6: Being Requires Daily PracticeIt's too easy to go through life doing without ever being present. Stephan's two-year Tefillin practice—binding, prayer, gratitude—forces him to stop and recognize what he's grateful for. These rituals look different for everyone, but what matters is the intentionality.Insight 7: Vibe + Logic Is the Balance That WorksLeadership requires both creativity ("vibe") and technical rigor ("logic"). You need both—a Picasso without a frame is worthless, and a frame without art is empty. The key is recognizing where you're weak and building complementary teams that offset your blindspots.Resources & Links MentionedVibeLogic.com – Stephan's digital strategy firmConductor – The enterprise SEO platform he co-foundedPractical Pedagogy: The Art of Teaching for the Future of Work – New PodcastAbout Stephan BajaioStephan Bajaio is a leadership strategist and founder of VibeLogic, a digital strategy firm focused on making businesses visible to the customers who need them most.

Em 7 de março de 2004, o cineasta Jorge Furtado fez o que ele fazia quase todas as manhãs: pegou pra ler a edição da Folha de S.Paulo daquele dia. A maior foto da capa mostrava um quadro pendurado numa parede com a imagem de uma mulher sentada de braços cruzados. O Jorge reconheceu a obra logo de cara: era a “Mulher em Branco”, do Picasso. A matéria dizia que aquele “desenho de Pablo Picasso” tinha sido encontrado quase por acaso numa sala do INSS, em Brasília. O que era bem estranho… considerando que a “Mulher em Branco” pertence ao Metropolitan Museum de Nova York. Assim começou a saga do Jorge Furtado com aquele que ficou conhecido como “o Picasso do INSS”. Anos depois, a história inspirou a produção do documentário “O Mercado de Notícias”. E agora, em 2026, ela inspirou a repórter Bia Guimarães a embarcar numa espécie de caça ao tesouro: afinal, de onde veio e que fim teve o “Picasso do INSS”?

Andrew Farago Upskirt Scandal: The curator of the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum was arrested for secretly recording up to 20 people (including children) in his bathroom at a birthday party using a hidden phone. Farago admitted the act in an email as a “tremendous lapse in judgment” and has been fired. Broader Scandals in Cartooning: Discussion of multiple past incidents including Al Capp's predatory behavior, Darrin Bell's child pornography charges, Ben Sargent's indecent exposure arrest, Mike Lester's domestic violence case, and the Superman artist secretly drawing S&M comics. Why Cartoonists Behave Badly: Exploration of whether the solitary nature of cartooning, arrested development, abusive childhoods, and lack of socialization lead to higher rates of weird or destructive sexual behavior among cartoonists. Separating Art from the Artist: In-depth debate on whether immoral or criminal behavior by creators (Picasso, Woody Allen, Hitler's paintings, etc.) should affect enjoyment of their work. Hosts largely agreed the art stands alone, especially after death. Forgiveness, Firing & Judgment: Should Farago have been immediately fired before conviction?

A Note from James:Mark Pincus is one of the true OGs of the internet. You probably know him as the founder of Zynga, the company behind FarmVille, Zynga Poker, and Words With Friends. Zynga was eventually acquired by Take-Two in a transaction valued at approximately $12.7 billion. Before Zynga, Mark started Tribe, one of the first social networks—before MySpace and Facebook. He has spent more than 25 years building, failing, and studying what gets millions of people to click, play, share, and come back. His new book, Life at the Speed of Play, inspired me to start coming up with new business ideas while we were still recording.What I really love is how Mark teaches people to copy like a master without looking like a copycat. He has a framework called “Proven–Better–New.” Start with something that has already been proven. Make it obviously better. Then isolate the new idea you want to test. It's one of the best systems I've heard for creating products people actually want.We talk about the early days of Facebook and MySpace, the failure of Tribe, the gaming industry, consumer psychology, AI coding, and how agents could eventually network and work for us while we're doing something else.I loved talking with Mark. I was still thinking about this conversation afterward—and I'm literally building businesses based on what I learned. His new book is called Life at the Speed of Play. Listen to this episode, and then read the book.Episode Description:Most founders begin with an idea and then spend months—or years—trying to prove that people want it. Mark Pincus thinks that process is backward.At Zynga, Mark's teams built “failure machines”: simple systems that allowed them to test hundreds of concepts before writing the code. They put unfinished ideas in front of real users, watched what people clicked, and refused to build anything until the demand was obvious. The objective wasn't to avoid failure. It was to make failure fast, cheap, and useful.Mark explains the framework behind that process: Proven–Better–New. First, study an existing success down to every screen, click, and design decision. Then identify one improvement that current users would immediately recognize as better. Only after that should a team add the unproven idea—the part most likely to fail.James and Mark also examine the problems facing today's consumer entrepreneurs. AI has made software easier to build, but distribution has become harder. People aren't searching for new apps, established platforms restrict organic growth, and algorithmic reach isn't the same as users actively sharing something with friends.Mark uses the failure of his early social network, Tribe, to explain why virality is not enough. Tribe grew quickly but lacked retention and trust. He ignored the communities users loved because they didn't match the business model he had already chosen. That painful mistake became the foundation for much of his later product philosophy.The conversation ends with Mark's current experiments: personal AI agents modeled after members of his family, a proposed work network built specifically for agents, an enterprise AI company called Hivemind, and the difficult decision to end a four-year passion project without abandoning the instinct behind it.This is a practical conversation about testing ideas, separating instinct from ego, learning from the past, and killing the wrong product before it consumes the right opportunity.What You'll Learn:How to build a failure machine: Test headlines, offers, videos, and fake doors before investing in a finished product.How to apply Proven–Better–New: Begin with a proven behavior, make one unmistakable improvement, and isolate the risky innovation.Why distribution is now harder than development: AI can generate a prototype quickly, but it cannot guarantee attention, trust, or adoption.Why Tribe failed despite rapid growth: Virality without retention, safety, and alignment with user behavior does not create a lasting network.How to copy without becoming a copycat: Study successful products at the pixel level, preserve what works, and innovate only where it matters.When to abandon an idea: Preserve the underlying instinct, but stop funding the particular expression of it when the evidence turns against you.How AI agents may change networking: Agents could eventually search for opportunities, exchange work, build reputations, and bring useful leads back to their users.Timestamped Chapters: [02:00] Finding the “OMFG” Moment [02:58] A Note from James [05:00] Build a Failure Machine Before Building a Product [06:25] Testing Demand With Fake Doors and Broken Links [08:08] Writing Copy That People Actually Notice [10:52] Test More Ideas in a Week Than the Industry Tests in a Year [11:53] Why Neglected Products Become Innovation Labs [13:26] How Mobile Apps Slowed Product Experimentation [15:09] Can AI Bring Rapid Testing Back?

SHOW NOTES: World Cup attendance and revenues are disappointing. That's hardly surprising. The hype and publicity and exaggerated claims create a level of expectation that's hard to support, and the inflated prices of everything from hot dogs to hotel rooms is absurd. This kind of insistence on constantly "topping" what's come before exists with Super Bowl halftime shows, entertainment award shows (they are proliferating in number as well as production extremes), parades for any variety of causes, political rallies, and even fundraising. The more the pressure to "better" and "outdo" the past attempts as a metric of current success, the more you're prone to fall short. No one has ever sung the Star Spangled Banner better than Whitney Houston, so stop trying to create a canonical version, and just sing the song. Tom Brady wasn't trying to be better than Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas, just the best quarterback he could be.Picasso was just trying to be Picasso. They're wondering why attendance is down when a train ticket was $15 is now $150 to get to the Meadowlands in New Jersey from Penn Station in Manhattan, and it can cost as much as $175 to park at Gillette Stadium on Foxboro, MA for the World Cup (where it's $50 for Patriot game). The road to excess had a lot of potholes.

Si sta tenendo ad Antibes il 36esimo vertice intergovernativo Italia-Francia. La presidente del Consiglio, Giorgia Meloni, dopo esser stata ieri a Berlino al cosiddetto gruppo E5 - che riunisce Germania, Francia, Italia, Regno Unito e Polonia, le cinque maggiori potenze militari europee - è giunta all'aeroporto di Nizza insieme a una delegazione di nove ministri. Meloni si è recata al Musée Picasso di Antibes dove è stata accolta dal presidente francese, Emmanuel Macron, per una visita al museo e il successivo l avvio dei lavori del Vertice presso Villa Eilenroc. Ci colleghiamo con l'inviato Vincenzo Miglietta, Radiocor.Caos Ferrovie: Donnarumma lascia. Gianpiero Strisciuglio sarà il nuovo ad di FSDopo giorni di forti tensioni nel mondo ferroviario, segnati da una serie di disservizi sull'Alta Velocità, dalle polemiche sulla gestione della rete e dal confronto tra i vertici del gruppo e il Ministero delle Infrastrutture, arriva il cambio al vertice di Ferrovie dello Stato. L'amministratore delegato Stefano Donnarumma lascerà l'incarico nei prossimi giorni, con circa un anno di anticipo rispetto alla naturale scadenza del mandato, prevista dopo l'approvazione del bilancio 2026. La decisione è maturata al termine di un incontro con il vicepremier e ministro delle Infrastrutture Matteo Salvini. A raccogliere il testimone sarà Gianpiero Strisciuglio, attuale amministratore delegato di Trenitalia e manager cresciuto all'interno del gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato. Approfondiamo con Riccardo Ferrazza, Il Sole 24 Ore.Istat, trimestre febbraio-aprile fatturato industria +2,0% valore, -0,5% volumePesa il caro energia sull'industria. Nel trimestre febbraio-aprile, in termini congiunturali, il fatturato dell'industria, al netto dei fattori stagionali, aumenta in valore (+2,0%) e diminuisce in volume (-0,5%). Nello specifico, ad aprile l'Istat stima che il fatturato dell'industria, al netto dei fattori stagionali, aumenti rispetto a marzo dello 0,3% in valore e diminuisca dell'1,0% in volume. Nel confronto mensile, il fatturato dell'industria registra incrementi in valore dello 0,8% sul mercato interno (-1,2% in volume) e cali dello 0,6% su quello estero (-0,7% in volume). Guardando ai raggruppamenti principali di industrie il fatturato in valore registra ad aprile una diminuzione su marzo per i beni di consumo (-0,4%) e per quelli strumentali (-1,8%), mentre si rilevano un aumento marcato per l'energia (+11,4%) e uno modesto per i beni intermedi (+0,6%). Intanto dallo studio di Teha Club e InnoTech Hub emerge che negli ultimi 25 anni l Italia ha generato appena 9mila aziende innovative, meno della metà di Germania, Francia e Spagna, nonostante sia la prima economia europea per PMI manifatturiere con 115 distretti industriali ad elevata produttività. Ne parliamo con Valerio De Molli Managing Partner & CEO di The European House - Ambrosetti.

The most influential poster in the history of art was an ad for a play. It was designed by a broke, unknown illustrator who only got the job because he was the one stuck working over the holidays. His name was Alphonse Mucha, and that single commission — a rush job nobody else wanted — turned him into the father of Art Nouveau. He didn't sit in a studio and find his direction. A customer handed it to him. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar That's the heart of this episode: a commission isn't a compromise. It's an idea-generation machine. A client drags you somewhere you'd never have chosen on your own — and every so often, that detour becomes your entire career. It happened to Mucha. It happened to a portrait painter named George Stubbs who took a few horse commissions and ended up the greatest equine painter who ever lived. It happened to a studio photographer named Dorothea Lange the day a government assignment sent her into the migrant camps. But before we get to the good news, we have to clear out the lies. The longer you spend in this business, the more you realize the "sacred truths" of the art world are mostly nonsense — and most of them are really just hobbyist rules wearing a business suit. (If you've heard me draw the hobbyist-vs-business line before, this is where it earns its keep — same line that runs under The Long Game.) In this episode: The Christmas shift that invented Art Nouveau — how Mucha got the job nobody wanted and never looked back Six "sacred truths" of the art business that are complete nonsense — and the one thing wrong with every single one of them "You need a niche before you can start" — why you don't pick your niche; the work reveals it "Good art sells itself" — the $128 of thrift-store junk that resold for $3,612 on stories alone, a $3.5M violin that earned $32 in a subway, and the painter who went from unsold to $2.5 million without changing a brushstroke "Never discount your work" — why that rule is real, why it isn't yours, and what the galleries who preach it actually do behind closed doors The line in the sand: hobby or business? Drucker said a business has exactly one purpose — to create a customer — and in that equation, you don't get the last word. The market does. "Nobody bought it, so I'm a failure" — the lie that makes good artists quit, and why Picasso died holding roughly 45,000 of his own unsold works Why constraints beat the blank canvas — Stravinsky, and the bet that produced Green Eggs and Ham in 50 words The honest catch: when a commission becomes a cage instead of a doorway, and how to tell the difference This week's homework: take the one commission you'd normally turn down — the weird request, the subject you'd never choose, the client who wants something slightly off from your usual. Say yes to it. Then watch where it drags you. Reply or DM me what you learned — I read every single one. Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts — the storefront engine for working artists The Mucha Foundation — the Gismonda poster and the birth of Art Nouveau Significant Objects — the experiment that turned $128 of junk into $3,612 with nothing but stories Pearls Before Breakfast — the Washington Post's Pulitzer-winning Joshua Bell subway story Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of the Art Market — how art is really priced (and why prices "only go up") Related episodes: The Gallery Test — Should Artists List Prices on Their Website? The Long Game — Why Your Website Will Still Be Working in 2055 POD and Samples — What Wyland and Gray Malin Actually Do 20 Ways to Grow Your Email List as an Artist — hobbyist or business, the honest cut So here's the takeaway. If you're a hobbyist, make whatever you want, forever, and be happy — there's no shame in it. But if you want a business, stop waiting for the market to reward your purity, because it never will. Go meet it. Say yes to the commission, the weird job, the thing you'd never have chosen — because that yes creates a customer, which is the only thing that makes you a business, and it just might drag you, like it dragged Mucha off that holiday shift, straight into the work you were put here to make.

Nous sommes en 1913. C'est chez Figuier, à Paris, que paraît un ouvrage intitulé « Les peintres cubistes - Méditations esthétiques », il est signé Guillaume Apollinaire. On peut y lire : « Comme artiste, on peut placer Melle Laurencin entre Picasso et le douanier Rousseau. Ce n'est pas là une simple indication hiérarchique mais une simple constatation de parenté. Son art danse comme Salomé entre celui de Picasso, nouveau Jean-Baptiste qui lave les Arts dans le baptême de la lumière, et celui de Rousseau, Hérode sentimental, vieillard somptueux et puéril que l'amour amena sur les confins de l'intellectualisme, c'est là que les anges vinrent distraire sa douleur, ils l'empêchèrent de pénétrer dans l'affreux royaume dont il était devenu le Douanier et ce vieillard, finalement, ils l'admirent dans leur troupe et lui vint de lourdes ailes. » Marie Laurencin entretint une liaison, pour le moins, orageuse avec le poète. Il ne fut pas le seul. En 1914, Picasso dira « Laurencin n'a plus de talent ». Il ne lui pardonne pas d'avoir quitté Apollinaire pour un Allemand. En 1937, Michel Leiris, poète et critique d'art, amant de l'écrivain Marcel Jouhandeau, lui-même intime de Marie Laurencin, persifflera sur le travail de l'artiste : « (…) pas trop désagréables comme œuvres de troisième zone. » Un autre dira : « Elle a fait de la peinture au féminin un art majeur. On ne trouve pas de mots pour bien définir la grâce toute française de Mademoiselle Marie Laurencin, sa personnalité vibre d'allégresse ». Et c'est une vie bien remplie que celle de Marie Laurencin, bien plus qu'une aquarelle d'été indien, avec ses ombres et ses déliés. Pionnière, transgressive, compromise, revenons sur ses pas … Avec Anne Hustache, historienne de l'art.

A Note from James:If I could tell my children to read one post of mine, it would be this post.Influence is how they will navigate a world of uncertainty.Robert Cialdini is the most influential person in the world. And by that I mean, he wrote the book Influence, which sold 3 million copies and defines the six critical aspects of all influence.Now he has a new book, Pre-Suasion, going 10x deeper into the concepts of persuasion. I got him on my podcast so I could ask the 1,000 questions I have.Small story from the book:If you name a restaurant “Studio 97” instead of “Studio 17,” people are more likely to tip higher.If you ask a girl for her phone number outside a flower store, triggering feelings of romance, she is more likely to give it to you than if you ask her outside a motorcycle store.And 500 other stories.The environment is just as important as what you say.Before the podcast began, I gave him a book as a gift: The Anxiety of Influence, a history of poetry.What would poetry have to do with influence and marketing?In all art, since the beginning of time, artists have built on the work of the artists of the generation before them.Beethoven depended on a Mozart to be a Beethoven. Picasso depended on a Cézanne. Without Michelson, there would be no Einstein.But poets, for some reason, would deny being influenced.“I never even read Ezra Pound,” shouted one poet at a critic.Poets want to be seen as original.Nobody is 100% original.This is the anxiety of influence.Almost all of our decisions, and even our creativity, are outsourced to the people around us who influence us: peers, teachers, religion, parents, bosses, etc.Our personality is our own particular mishmash of influences.How we deal with that anxiety, how we recognize the influences, learn from them, and build from them, is the birth of all of our creativity.Let me summarize the seven aspects of influence:Reciprocity: If you give someone a Christmas card, they will want to return the favor.Likability: Make yourself trustworthy. For instance, outline the negatives of dealing with you.Consistency: Ask someone for a favor. Now they will say to themselves, “I am the type of person who does James a favor.”Social Proof: If you are trying to get someone to do X, show them that “a lot of your peers do X.” For instance, if you are at a bar and you are a guy trying to meet women, bring your women friends and not your guy friends with you.Authority: “Four out of five dentists say…”Scarcity: “Only 100 iPhones left at this store!”Unity: You and I are the same because of location, values, religion, etc.I've used each of the above in business.They work.They will make you money.The entire purpose of language is to influence.We are not strong animals. We are weak.The language of influence saved us.Probably a word like “Run!” was the first word spoken.A word of influence.And it worked.I'm still running from the things I fear.So speak to influence.Don't speak to call a flower yellow.Speak to breathe spirit into an idea, to be enthusiastic, to convey emotion, to influence.This is the only way to have an impact with your unique creativity.I gave Robert the book as a gift — reciprocity — assuming we would have a great podcast.And we did.But then I thought later, I can't even remember how Robert got on my podcast.I highly recommend his book in the podcast and even in this post.As he got into his car after the podcast in order to go to his next interview, I started thinking:“Hmmm, who influenced who?”Episode Description:Robert Cialdini wrote the book on persuasion — literally. His classic Influence became one of the defining books on why people say yes, how decisions get shaped, and why the smallest cue in the room can change the outcome of a conversation.In this episode from the archive, James talks with Cialdini about Pre-Suasion, the idea that persuasion starts before the actual pitch. It begins with what people notice, what they feel, what is in the environment, and what frame has already been set before the first real ask is made.They talk about flower shops, restaurant names, voting booths, Warren Buffett's shareholder letters, Anwar Sadat's negotiation instincts, and the rabbi who helped save thousands of lives with one sentence. But the episode is not just about marketing. It is about how people make decisions under uncertainty — and how to use influence ethically, whether you are asking for a job, building a business, negotiating a deal, writing a sales letter, or trying to become more trusted.What You'll Learn:Why persuasion often begins before the message — and how small cues in the environment can make people more receptive.How Cialdini's original six principles of influence work: reciprocity, consistency, social proof, scarcity, authority, and liking.Why Cialdini added a seventh principle, unity — the feeling that “we are the same” — and why it can be even stronger than liking.When to use social proof versus authority, and how to decide which kind of evidence matters most in a given situation.Why admitting weakness first can build trust, and how Warren Buffett uses honesty as a persuasion tool instead of a liability.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Introduction and episode preview[01:25] Interview begins — James introduces Robert Cialdini and Pre-Suasion[03:12] The flower shop study: why context changes the answer before the question is asked[05:48] Valentine Street and the hidden power of unrelated cues[06:42] Wine stores, voting booths, and fluffy cloud mattresses[08:10] Are humans irrational, or are shortcuts necessary?[10:17] How the pictures on your wall can change what you write[11:36] The six — now seven — principles of influence[12:00] Reciprocity: the Hare Krishna flower example and the power of personalized gifts[16:40] Consistency: Anwar Sadat, Henry Kissinger, and giving people a reputation to live up to[19:30] Cialdini's undercover research with sales organizations[23:30] Social proof: medical no-shows, restaurant menus, and what happens when a message backfires[26:43] Social proof as feasibility: “people like me can do this”[29:07] Authority: when expert endorsement beats crowd validation[33:55] Why companies lose with better products when they fail to frame the decision properly[35:10] Building authority from zero by using honesty and scarcity[37:05] The Avis “We're number two” campaign and the trust value of admitting weakness[38:24] Warren Buffett's shareholder letters and the persuasive power of leading with mistakes[41:30] Unity: Cialdini's seventh principle of influence[44:24] The rabbi, the Japanese tribunal, and the sentence that saved a community[48:30] Applying unity in job interviews, dating, and negotiations[51:10] Loss aversion and how uncertainty changes persuasion[55:00] Why long sales letters can outperform short ones[55:30] Cialdini's practical framework: find what is true, direct attention to it, then make the case[59:00] Fake scarcity and why false urgency destroys trust[65:00] Closing thoughts on ethical influence and genuine specificityAdditional Resources:Robert Cialdini — Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion — Cialdini's classic book on the core principles of persuasion and compliance. Robert Cialdini — Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade — the follow-up book discussed throughout the episode, focused on what happens before the persuasive message itself. Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder Letters — referenced in the episode as a real-world example of trust-building through candor and weakness-first communication. Daniel Kahneman and Prospect Theory — Cialdini references the role of loss aversion and uncertainty in persuasion; Kahneman received the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for integrating psychological research into economic decision-making. Chiune Sugihara — the Japanese diplomat connected to the story Cialdini uses to explain unity and shared identity. The Avis “We're Number Two” Campaign — discussed as an example of turning a weakness into credibility by being honest before making the positive case.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.Most productivity conversations start with systems, tools, and tactics. This one starts with something more fundamental: the quiet principles sitting right beneath the surface of your day that you've been walking past without noticing. Not because they're hidden — but because they're too simple to take seriously. That's what Heather Jo Kennedy's book For Starters is about, and it's why this conversation resonated with me in a way that felt less like an interview and more like a long overdue reminder.Heather Jo Kennedy is an author, speaker, and coach who grew up in the Dallas Cowboys organization — her father is quarterback Danny White — and that world of fundamentals, teamwork, and earned results is threaded through everything she teaches. Her book presents six core principles that she argues aren't just overlooked, they're statistically proven to change how you move through a day. We dig into all of them here, and the conversation went places I didn't expect.Six Discussion PointsGratitude isn't soft — it's structural. Heather shares the Duke University "Three Good Things" study, which found that a simple nightly practice of noting three positives can outperform antidepressants within two weeks. The real insight: gratitude is principle number one not because it's inspirational, but because it grounds everything else.Identity is the bedrock of productive impact. You can't make the difference you're meant to make if you don't know who you are. Growing up as a celebrity daughter, Heather watched identity get shaped by outside perception — and spent years reclaiming her own. That experience is at the heart of how she teaches this principle.Productivity is the means, not the end. Heather's definition — recognizing your unique purpose and acting on it — cuts against the idea that productivity is about maximizing output. We explored how that framing shift changes what you actually do with your time and energy.Frustration is a control signal, not just a mood. In the action chapter, Heather breaks frustration down to its root: you're either trying to control something you can't, or you're letting something control you when it shouldn't. Recognizing which one is happening is the first step to acting rather than reacting.Giving is the destination, not a detour. The Picasso line — "the meaning of life is to find your gift; the purpose of life is to give it away" — becomes a genuine lens here. We talked about what happens when you run every decision through the filter of am I adding value, and what that would do to the quality of everything we put into the world.Finishing requires humility, not just grit. The principle that landed hardest: sometimes quitting is a form of finishing. Clarity about whether a goal is wrong for you can't always come before you start — it often comes from the movement itself. Don't quit because it's hard. But quit when it's wrong.Three Connection PointsFor Starters by Heather Jo Kennedy — the book we discussed throughout this episode, and the best starting point for her workTimeCrafting: Stop Managing Your Time, Start Crafting It — my take on why "time management" is a broken concept, and how crafting your time changes the whole relationshipThe Lantern — my weekly newsletter — where I continue exploring these kinds of foundational ideas between episodesThe idea of overlooked principles is a quiet indictment of the way most of us approach getting things done. We reach for the system, the app, the strategy — and skip right over gratitude, identity, and the question of whether we're actually controlling what we think we're controlling. Heather's framework is a reset button disguised as a short book. If any of the six principles we discussed pulled your attention, that's probably where to start. Until next time, remember: stop doing productive, start being productive. See you later.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

THE RPM SHOW EPISODE 25 WITH DJ DON PICASSO. LIVE FROM ATLANTA, GA CHROMELABEL.WORLD

In the summer of 1937, some of the 20th Century's most famous artists, writers and photographers were holidaying in the south of France. They included artist Pablo Picasso, photographer Lee Miller, poet Paul Éluard and the painter Man Ray.The group were part of the Surrealist movement – a style of art inspired by dreams and hidden thoughts that can look strange and bizarre - and one of their most recent converts was artist Eileen Agar.
