Reading
I'm in the final pages of "The Scavenger's Guide To Haute Cuisine" by Steven Rinella. It's an entertaining walk through the author's year-long journey to hunt and fish and gather all the ingredients needed to put on a three-day feast for family and friends in the tradition of Auguste Escoffier, a French master chef.
Following
I'm obsessed with understanding the dramatic changes in society over the last few decades, and predictions of where things are heading tomorrow. The rapid migration of our population to urban centers and a decline in traditional activities such as hunting are fascinating topics for me. As a marketer, I also like to test and determine ways to reverse trends, like the challenges facing our hunting community.
Watching
I gave up cable and satellite over 10 years ago and haven't looked back. These days I'm most often captivated by real stories of people that get shared through pictures, video and written word, and often shared on social media. We use film and video in my company to tell stories of people who are engaging in interesting activities. In my opinion, the cliche of truth in real life being more interesting than fiction holds very true.
