  • THat was a super-interesting interview, Jonathan's writing style kick-ass, and I agree with what he's saying - you need to have killer headlines and a remarkable style if you want to stand out from the masses.
    Nice interview, Srini !

    @Amber: Thanks for your comments. That bit about a compelling life resonated well with me too. For me, I find almost my all of my inspiration when i'm surfing.

    @Carmen: Maybe we'll turn that into a bumper sticker and sell it here :)
  • "Be yourself because everyone else is taken". That's a great quote - good enough to go on a bumper sticker!
  • Great advice here from Jonathan. I especially like the last bit about living a compelling life in order to inspire your writing. I couldn't agree more. I too always have moments of clarity when I'm on the dance floor or completely absorbed in teaching. Globe trotting helps as well...though sometimes it's more of a distraction! Networking and social media seems to be the golden ticket beyond creating incredibly unique content. Thanks for the insight.

    @Jonathan: Thanks for the kind words. If my success looked like Jonathan's I'd have absolutely no complaints. He does make a great point about the fact opportunities are available and you can attack a saturated market and make a name for yourself.
  • The world is full of excuses, yet we all love to watch those who blow right past the excuses. Many believe that the internet has become so busy that the opportunities that once existed are no more. Jonathan's example dispels that notion nicely.The guy rocks.

    Thanks for posting this Srinivas, very inspiring! I have a strong feeling that your success will look a lot like Jonathan's.
