Sir Nicholas Winton

Touching Tribute To a Man Who Saved Everyone In The Audience

A friend of mine turned me on to this incredible clip from 1988, aired by the BBC, telling of the heroics of Sir Nicholas Winton. Winton, shown front-and-center in this video, didn’t realize the people in the audience were all there for him, to say “thank you.”

Watch as he is introduced to one of them, and what unfolds. It’s as good as it gets. During World War II, he helped save hundreds of (mostly) Jewish Czechoslovakian children from Nazi death camps, organizing for their safe passage to Britain. Wow.

Coca-Cola’s recent ad campaign is trending on Facebook, Twitter and other social media, and it’s no wonder why. The mixing of “It’s the real thing” campaign of the 1970s resonates in their new series of messages, which get intertwined with political messages, written in the tone of “perfect harmony;” but they hit on divisive issues,…

Are We There Yet? If you have kids, you have heard “Are we there yet?” a million times from the back seat. If you live in the Midwest during tornado season, or on the coast during hurricane season, you have heard “Do we have electricity back yet?” more times than you can count. Anyone else…

Evangelize Your Faith, Not Your Hipster Brand

I bump into tech folks often these days who have the word “Evangelist” in their title, or even “Chief Evangelist.” Yeah, I get it. “Evangelize” had that cool factor, ever since Guy Kawasaki coined it over two decades ago to promote the Apple brand. Since leaving Apple, among other endeavors (Google, etc.), he’s now the Chief Evangelist for Canva, a design software firm – same hat, different cattle. 

Guy was, and is one of the modern technology sector’s greatest minds. He coined, and defined Evangelization Marketing for technology, brilliantly borrowing a word from the Christian faith at a time when Christians weren’t all that excited about spreading the good word. In a world chock-full of young turks all too eager to spend Sunday mornings hacking vs. praying, evangelizing tech became an instant hit with Gen-Xers from Silicon Valley to Boston Harbor. But that was then. This is now.

OK Guy, you had your turn. Can we have our word back now?

Another One of China’s Empty Cities: This is Just Weird. 

Paris, China? Someone in China thought it was a great idea to clone Paris, France. So, they built its nearly identical twin city, at nearly full scale. Seriously! Check out this video. They also built the world’s largest shopping center which opened in 2011, and promptly failed. So, what do you do when the streets of Faux Paris are empty, and the Mall of More Air-ica go belly up?

Not that the song “Let It Go” needs any cute little instrumental version to bring you up and start your say off right, so think of this as an extra shot of Sunshine Moment Espresso, brewed up special by Idina Menzel and Jimmy Fallon.
