A few weeks ago I was on a panel at the okcCoCo for Global Entrepreneurship Week.
Moderator: Derrick Parkhurst, okcCoCo
I have not watched it yet. From what I remember, it was pretty good.

I just read a really great post by Mark Cuban. It is from a couple of weeks ago, but still good. I have followed him on and off for several years. When it comes to business there are few in his league that are as successful and as public about what he does. Thank you Mark for all the great blog posts over the years. They have provided me with lots of inspiration, motivation and education. I look forward to many more posts to come. And NO, I am not getting paid for this!
*my comments
I love to play computer games. I enjoyed several semesters of solid gaming while in college. Several years ago I decided to cut back on my gaming time because there were too many other things I want to do, especially in business. To me business and life are a game. One of several goals I have is to get back to the point where I feel I have the free time to game. Occasionally I have fallen off the wagon and I spend serious time gaming. I don’t own a PS3 or an Xbox for this reason. Since I have cut out gaming other distractions of popped up……TV….nuff said.
Mark Takes the idea of business as a sport to a whole other level. I would venture to say that his mentality of approaching the game of business is largely responsible for his success. Reading his post reenergized me to refocus on my game of business. I plan to reread this post daily this week to make sure that I am motivated to play the game of life the way I want to play it.
Recently, a friend of mine and I have decided to start publicly encouraging each other to focus on our goals. You can find Patrick’s blog here. Drop by and give him some encouragement.
Fear not, a post on taking time to stop and smell the Roses is already in the works. It is all about balance … people.

At Openbeta3, I gave a presentation on doing a web-based startup in Oklahoma City. We had 5 minutes and 20 slides, one every 15 seconds. This was my first talk in this format. It was a bit rough, but fun.

This is a great interview with Kevin Rose of Digg.com. It starts out with a bit of history of how Digg was in the early days. It follows with a history of where they are now. The interviewer is able to get a few bits of information about where Digg.com will go next. The interviewer is a bit annoying.
This video gives a bit of insight to a well established company and how they got to their current condition. I think it is a good history lesson on Digg.com.

I have always enjoyed this video. This is pure motivation for Entrepunership. He summarizes his book “The Art of the Start.” It is almost 40 minutes, but so worth it. Maybe someday I will actual read this book. The topic is geared more towads tech companies, but it can apply to any business.

Tim and Kevin from Glenn McElhose on Vimeo.
Very interesting pilot from Kevin Rose and Tim Ferriss. They talk about startups, naming a company, and angel investors. I hope they continue to produce these chats.
