This May, Seth Godin swept the audience off their feet earlier this month as he spoke on the monthly theme, “Backwards,” about a few things that we have backwards in terms of the work we do versus the work we’d like to be doing. An excellent watch for anyone with goals, ambitions, hopes, or dreams and is wondering how to pursue them.
And once you’re done consuming that, check out the Q&A, which is just riddled with truth bombs that will leave you beyond inspired to take on the world.
The event was hosted by The New School as part of Parsons Festival 2013. Big high five goes out to Ben Hallman for filming and editing, and that tongue-in-cheek intro perfectly aligned with the theme.
“Going that extra 2-3% just to do a little extra can give you so much back.”

Dream job.
…a team of seven to 10 people who work in shifts of eight hours or so to provide the baby with 24-hour companionship. She came from the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, where she was born Jan. 29 to a first-time mother who showed little maternal instinct…

I think I could get used to this.
6 Rooms into 1: morphing apartment packs 1100 sq ft into 420
…Completed in 2012, his LifeEdited apartment doesn’t resemble the cramped space we saw in 2010. Today the 420-square-foot space can be expanded to include the functionality of 1,100 square feet: walls, drawers and beds move and unfold to create 6 rooms: living room, dining room, office, guest office, master bedroom and guest bedroom. If you include the kitchen and the bathroom which morphs into a phone booth or meditation room, the apartment includes 10 total rooms.

The Empire State Building
“King Kong Returns”
Back in 1983 when Lime Contracting, Inc. was completing the exterior renovation of the world famous Empire State Building, the owner; Mr. Harry Helmsley, had asked Lime Contracting, Inc. to participate in “King Kong’s 50th Anniversary Return to the Empire State Building.” This turned out to be the largest building mounted balloon in the world. When King Kong returned to the building, he was a whopping 82 feet high.
