Don’t Get Fooled by Price Tags On Art In the Age of Commerce

October 14, 2010 by Ivana Sendecka 10 Comments

Hi SCG,

in previous shipment we have talked (especially your thoughts in comments were amazing!) about importance of art and unique creative work in our world. You made me truly think more deeply about this essential topic. I have connected dots from past months about changes in perception and value of the art in the age of commerce, we happen to live in now. Guys, I want you to form your own opinion and make your own judgment. Let me bring into your attention commercially not very well known sources, which were collected for you in past few months and now it made sense to ship them.

Note: If you truly want to grasp the message from this shipment (=blog post), please click through attached links and watch those movies! (or watch at least their trailers, if you are that busy…) 😉

Do You Know Who Your “Sneezers” Are?

August 17, 2010 by Ivana Sendecka 26 Comments

Hey SCG,

I am SO humbled , that I can “ship” today’s post. I have been waiting for this shipping moment for more than 6 months. Only now I feel eligible to introduce you a concept of sneezers.

Do you know who is a “sneezer”?

This term was brought into my and world’s attention in March 2010 in a video-book= vook by THE Seth Godin – Unleashing the SuperIdeavirus.

Why did I have to wait for more than half a year to talk about sneezers? Well, because Inspiring Shipments (#IS) is a blog for doers and for those who can tell stories of walking the talk. I don’t talk theory, I talk about experienced experiences. Therefore, let me share with you my story about sneezers, so you can get inspired and you too can reflect on: Why are “sneezers” important for you, for your business and for sustainable future of your art?

3+1 Reasons Why You Should NOT Miss Webpreneur University Gig

August 5, 2010 by Ivana Sendecka 2 Comments

Hello from Dubai SCG.

Yes, I am still in this hot city, even though I “planned” to stay only for 5 days, I am finishing my second week, here. (You, see that is why I do not plan! I just flexibly adapt to situations/miracles/opportunities, which presents themselves in front of me) One of the miracle which made me prolong my stay in Dubai, was Webpreneur University Camp, which I have attended 2 weeks ago. (Once again great thanks goes to Amir Anzur for making it happen). Tomorrow will be kick off for the last Webpreneur Uni Camp (6-7 Aug) before taking couple of months off. Therefore I would like to name 3 reasons, why I will not miss it and why you should not miss it too!;-) [Read more…]

Hi Super Cool Gang

greetings from Sučany tiny village in the north of central Slovakia, cca80 minutes drive from my hometown Poprad.

What did I do there?

Sučany is known for its bilingual Slovak – English Secondary School which is famous all over the country. I was invited to speak to students by founder of Sučany Alumni, my dear friend and “hard core” NGLS supporter Tom Jacko.

You can check out stream of pictures, HERE.

What are your thoughts on slide-deck?

P. S. : I was missing you SCG!

Fantasy or Future?

Previous post on reading made me wonder, how super cool would that be, if :

Kindle e-books would include in the text working hyperlinks, which would take you straight to the website, wiki, blog, Youtube video or MP3 tune after clicking on it in the text of the book itself. [Read more…]
