Video Excerpt – Writing and Self-Publishing

November 15, 2016 by Dunrie

Last Friday morning, Robert Pasick, Ph.D., and I spoke at Leaders Connect, a networking event at Zingerman’s Roadhouse in Ann Arbor. Our topic was “Ten Steps to Meaningful Goals for 2017,” based on our recent book Self-Aware: A Guide for Success in Work and Life.

If you’re interested, you can watch the entire hour-plus of video on YouTube here.

I thought I’d share a quick video excerpt here, about three minutes of Rob and I chatting about how we collaborated on the book.

Uncertainty as a superpower

December 28, 2014 by Dunrie

Webstock ’14: Liz Danzico – The Fringe Benefits of Quitting from Webstock on Vimeo.

Themes for me:

  • Creativity lives within uncertainty.
  • What will you leave behind to find your next big thing?
  • Entrepreneurs are not necessarily those who doggedly pursue a single idea, sometimes they adjust course and flex.

Found this video via Rands in Repose.

Knausgaard reading from My Struggle

October 14, 2014 by Dunrie

“The deeper you go inside, the more general a place you reach.”

Yes.

I read My Struggle Book 1 and now am 3/4 of the way through Book 2. I am loving these books and his writing. His description of the mundane and his internal monologue is riveting, addictive, and moving. Listen to his own reading of his work and see for yourself.

Electronic music on repeat: Dawn of Midi and the xx

September 17, 2014 by Dunrie

I go through audio obsessions.

Last fall, I listened to Dawn of Midi‘s Dysnomia on repeat as I drove, as I wrote, as I cooked. I found it via the RadioLab podcast. I loved the sense of driving seemingly-electronic music slowly morphing, and I loved to hear that it wasn’t electronic at all, but humans playing to sound like machines. The layering of sound and story was what caught me, but the music kept me.

This summer and fall, I’ve been listening to the xx‘s two releases on repeat. I discovered them via the New Yorker’s profile, Shy and Mighty.

Two different artists and sounds, but both triggered my play daily on repeat response and I thought I’d share. Both are good as foreground or background, which is a hard thing to do.

I know making music and getting paid for it these days is tough going, so if you like these songs, go support the artists and buy their music!

Treme – a NOLA set of stories

January 3, 2014 by Dunrie

A show we’ve been watching on HBO for a few years had its final episode in its final season. It’s Treme, on HBO, focused on the people, the music, and the tribulations of a neighborhood in New Orleans after Katrina.

It’s from the creators of The Wire, and has some similar themes (crumbling, ineffective bureaucracy, crime, good people in impossible situations) yet is more place driven and upbeat than I remember The Wire being.

If you haven’t seen it, give it a shot.
