Hallmark Symposium #1

John Bienlenberg

For a first lecture, this man set the bar extremely high for anyone else who walks through those double doors at Budig 110. After hearing about at the projects and collaborations this guy does and why he does them, I wanted to run to Hashinger and start a project to save the world. So here are the steps to attempting to do that effectively:

Be Bold
Get Out
Think Wrong
Make Stuff
Bet Small
Move Fast
Fear Less

All of these steps sound a little strange, but once you see how they work, you understand. Bienlenberg wasn’t short on examples either, he demonstrated the steps in projects like an ad campaign for Soda Stream, Youth Spark, and Nadabike.com.  

Some things to look up after this:
makelab.us
herobike.org
nadabike.com

Stephan Stagmeister, Graphic Designer
Alex Bikuski and the Fearless Cottage
Common, a collaborative brand

Books:
“The Manifesto For New Capitalism”
“Little Bets”

And now you have to make the promise…

I Agree To Do Something Meaningful With My Life
