What would you do in the next 7 days? – “Search out the local creative businesses and artists in the community I’m in. Use some money to buy a park permit, and invite them to a party on the beach – then, once I’ve got enough local VPs, I’d get sponsorship from a local food and drink company. Then the next day would be about following up with all these awesome new friends I’ve made”

[22:12] – Parting piece of guidance? – “Do things different. Weird is going to win, always.”
