Three must reads and two must watch
I am reading Sir Ken Robinsons new book " Finding Your Element", excellent. It is about our quest to find one's mission, passion,working Nirvana. It is a great read. I would accompany it with the two lectures the author gave at TED.com. Another must is "The Icarus Deception" by Seth Godin it is uplifting, about how we do not fly high enough, desire enough, think big enough and how to do so. I love this book. I have heard it twice(audible). Finally one of my all time favorites"Why should all the White guys have all the fun" it is the life of Reginald Lewis. This is the Rocky of business. I think they should do a movie on Reginald Lewis life and have Denzel Washington play Mr Lewis. I have read this book three times and I am now on my fourth. An extraordinary business life and story. A black man against all odds creates a business empire in white dominated Wall Street, a must read.

Transparency is the next phase of Creative destruction
Darkness and lack of transparency is present and growing in politics, government, religion, health care, education, commerce, etc. To me this tragedy is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to bring transparent business models into these industries and to many aspects of government and religion. Technology is a destroyer and exposer of all those dark pockets in our society that are operating under the radar and not being truthful in what they are doing, how and how much. Imagine how efficient, trust worthy, cool and inspiring it would be to live in a society where transparency is the default and a must, where you can believe that what is being said and done. It is going to be a different ball game because the big "T" is coming very soon to a theatre near you. Transparency is the new killer app. The Transparency paradigm is knocking on our doors. It is revolution in where many are going to lose but the majority will benefit.
