“It’s not about the art – it’s about the person you become as you create the art.” That mantra rules my life. As an artist. As an entrepreneur. As an evolving human being. Especially this week, as I celebrate the launch of brandtag. This project is the most exciting, most risky and most remarkable work of art I’ve ever executed. Much of my inspiration for this project can be…

ARTIST’S STATEMENT: I was in Tokyo when it happened. My stomach was full of sushi, my creativity was firing on all cylinders, and I’m pretty sure I felt a minor earthquake during breakfast. Not a bad morning. And that’s when it occurred to me: Contribution is critical to my constitution as a human being. And on that day, something inside me changed. I don’t know what. But my work…

After fifteen months of hard work, Brandtag is here. TO PURCHASE: Individual limited edition prints, explore the gallery. TO VIEW: Pictures of engaged clients and partners, view the slide show. TO LEARN: About Brandtag’s hand-made production process, meet Firecracker Press. TO INQUIRE: About group pricing, corporate packages and consulting programs, contact Scott directly. LET ME ASK YA THIS… Is your mission more than a statement? LET ME SUGGEST THIS……

People who have it all figured out scare me. I don’t know about you, but: I’m not ready. I’m never ready. I’m not smart enough. I’m never smart enough. And if I waited until I knew what I was doing, I never would have done anything. I don’t marry myself to ideas. I don’t box myself into rigid plans. I don’t set as many goals as I used to….

“Remember to wear your dark suit!” That was the advice my roommate gave me two hours before the career fair. Unfortunately, I didn’t own one. Or any suit, for that matter. So I did what any smart college senior would have done: Drove to Goodwill and bought one for seven dollars. Later that day, with a stack of resumes in my hand, I headed toward the auditorium. And as…

Approachability is about increasing the probability. Of getting noticed. Of getting remembered. Of getting what matters most. And for millions of people right now, that means getting and keeping a job. According to this month’s report from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment has reached a staggering level of nine and half percent. Yikes. Fortunately, there is way to increase the probability of employment. No, I’m not…

To celebrate the release of Jeffrey Gitomer’s new book, Social Boom, he’s asked me to offer a special gift to those who buy today. I write books and give talks on approachability. And, since Gitomer’s book is all about online platforms, I’ve written an ebook on taking approachability online. The ebook you’ll win (along with tons of other awesome extras) is called: E-pproachable: Strategies for Making Your Online Presence…

In the movie Avatar, natives on Pandora greet each other with three words: “I see you.” That was my favorite part of the movie. Kind of made me wish human beings were more like the Na’vi people. HERE’S WHY: This phrase was more than a simple greeting – it was an acknowledgment. It’s a form of namaste that means: I love you, I honor you and I understand who…

You’ve chosen an uncertain path. You’ve adopted an inconvenient lifestyle. You’ve embarked upon an unconventional journey. You’ve felt the voice inside you growing more urgent. You’ve committed yourself enough so you can’t turn back. IN SHORT: You’ve decided to play for keeps. This is the critical crossroads – the emotional turning point – in the life of every young artist. I’ve been there myself, and here’s a list of…
