EntreArchitect

Forbes has published their list of the Top 10 Richest Billionaires. To me, the most interesting fact is that most are self-made. Few have inherited their wealth from generations before.

The modern human race would not survive without them.

The New Networking

EntreArchitect

From ResidentialArchitect.com: Marketing is a chore for most residential architects, who would rather draw than dream up ways to attract new business. It’s easier to rely on word-of-mouth advertising and the casual connections formed at kids’ soccer games, dinner parties, and board meetings. Conventional wisdom says that personal networking is, in fact, the most powerful marketing tool there is.

EntreArchitect

Peter Gerr (a good friend from A-school) is an info-data guru. His latest blog post is about infographics and the art of communicating information. We can learn much from looking at other industries and how they are communicating ideas and information. After all, that’s what we do.
