thinkerlabs podcast

New podcast went up this morning. Episode 013. Joe and I discuss leadership in the first of a new two part dialogue. Hopefully the updates will come a little more regularly over the next few weeks. (ie. we recorded a bunch this morning and are now prepared to dole them out in a responsible manner)

Subscribe through iTunes here.

Also Joe will be in the west early next month. He and I are travelling from Calgary to BC stopping along the way to talk to interesting churches for thinkerlabs‘s documentary project. Expect (in)frequent updates.

Creative Notebook

In the latest thinkerlabs podcast that went online yesterday Joe and I talk about our creative process, how we catalogue ideas and make connections between them.

Generally I use a big whiteboard in my office but lately I have been going old school and using a notebook again. There is something cool about the tactile sensation of pencil on paper. I like to represent my ideas visually so mind maps work better for me than lists. There are always lots of ideas swirling in my head and I like t be able to visually see how they connect.

Here’s an image from a page in the notebook I take with me everywhere.
