[...] Tait Ischia, April 17 2009: You have to prove to business owners that you are good and that you’ll make them money. And of course the best way to prove it is by doing stuff. Blogs are the easiest way to do stuff. It’s basically like maintaining a Facebook but isn’t a complete time-wasting exercise in vanity. If all the kids these days spent the same amount of time writing blogs that they did on Facebook, then [the advertising] industry would be a hell of a lot more competitive. test Filed under Web | Tags: advice, black-swan, blogging, Career, cumulative-advantage, david-gillespie, Employment, facebook, Internet, job, learning, matt-granfield, matthew-effect, modular-records, nassim-nicholas-taleb, nick-crocker, reading, ryan-holiday, Social Media, social networking, social-currency, social-web, Sociology, tait-ischia, the-black-swan, twitter, Web | [...]

Sweet interview Andrew – you posed some great questions and your blog overall is getting me motivated to get writing.

Tait’s words resonated nicely for me – epecially “..all of a sudden throwing money around on bitches and fine cheeses isn’t seen as a very good idea anymore…” Cracker.

Time to meet up again soon to discuss the freelance collective me feels… :)

Great interview Andrew! Interesting to hear from the person behind Lifeatthebottom who is in a similar sort of position as myself – ignoring the whole creative/planning differences.

“I suppose it’s OK if you want to be a planner or an accounts person because those jobs require you talk shit and be good at it.” Nice quote.
