A few more photos from the movie, expanding on the one we came across last week… The fancy “dressing rooms” set was actually just the basement of the Fitz where the production staff sets up, and bathrooms, which usually look like this:

Nobody even seemed to notice that I was taking a picture of the bathrooms.

beingblog:

There’s no doubt Wired wunderkind (my turn of phrase) and marketing guru Seth Godin have an impassioned following through his blogs and books and speaking engagements and you name it… But, he doesn’t do a lot of one-on-one interviews that canvas the sweep of his personal triumphs and failures. Krista sat down with him (via ISDN) for 90 minutes of a highly engaging conversation.

I think my favorite phrase Seth uses to describe navigating this new world of vocation/avocation is a “landscape without maps.” It’s this ambiguity that’s worth embracing rather than fleeing from. Rather than merely tolerate change, he says, we are now called to rise to it — and, we’re invited and stretched in whatever we do to be artists — to create in ways that matter to other people.

We do make available all of our unedited interviews, including Krista’s conversation with Mr. Godin, in the On Being podcast (iTunes link).

Is running the government like running a business?

It’s not that there aren’t significant comparisons to be made. Just like a company, the U.S. has money coming in the door (income), and money going out the door (expenses), and the leaders of both the company and the economy strive (if they’re smart) to balance their budgets year after year.

But that’s really about as far as the analogy extends.

I had a bad attitude almost my whole life. The smallest things would make me snap. In the classroom the teacher tells you to do something and you’re surrounded by friends used to you being like, “Oh I ain’t doing nothing,” so you feel like you have to stand up. I had a certain level of “hardness.” Very ignorant. It didn’t lead to anything but me sitting in ISS by myself while my friends were in class laughing.

I did my work, though. When reports cards came, people would be like, “Yo! You making A’s and B’s.” Because I’d go home and do my work. At school, I was having fun. I’d come to class, make a couple jokes, put my head down, go to sleep. But by the time I got home, I made sure I did everything. That was my ambition, I guess.
