SPOS #662 – Paul Jarvis Is A Company of One

Welcome to episode #662 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – Episode #662 – Host: Mitch Joel. What kind of business do you want to build? What kind of business do you really want to work for? It’s true that we live a world where we can choose to do so many interesting and different things… and we can do them from the comfort of our own home (if we so choose). Paul Jarvis is the author of a great book called, Company of One. I was fortunate enough to be asked to blur this book. Paul thinks differently (very differently) about work (and what it means). He’s a designer who likes writing (or vice versa) and has worked for himself since the 90s. His courses —Creative Class and Chimp Essentials — have been taken by more than 13,000 paying students. His writing has been talked about by everyone from Ashton Kutcher to Arianna Huffington. Paul also sends out a weekly newsletter, called Sunday Dispatches (and I love it!). Here has a very different perspective on what “making it” means, and how to live a life with work that matters. Enjoy the conversation.
