dribble ongoing people stories updates watch
I don't keep an ongoing dribble of updates of my day, but I tell little compartmentalized stories every day on Snapchat. I use it much more like making a movie than maintaining a diary. When people watch my 60-second clips, there's a beginning, middle, and end.
buy mass
I don't drink much soda; I don't buy Big Gulps, and my body mass index is right where it should be.
car great imagery salt shot
So many car commercials are shot in the Salt Flats, and so much great imagery comes out of that place, but I've never been there, and I'm curious.
hands interview kinda people sheet skill
One of my first questions when I interview prospective employees is, 'Do you know how big a sheet of plywood is?' Most people don't, and say they are different sizes, but it's 4' x 8'. Anyway, working with your hands is a very American thing that we kinda lost here, but it's an important skill to have.
branded built four million stories telling videos
I have 60-plus videos on YouTube and over 30 million views. Of those 60, only three or four are branded videos. I built that audience by telling stories the way I like to tell them.

If I'm in the stands at a U2 concert watching Bono, how can I capture this moment without interrupting it and making it fake?
airport good looking pajamas people percent places public reason rest spend time travel wear
The reason why people wear pajamas to the airport in the first place is so that they'll be comfortable during their flight. But you know, typically, air travel is 50 to 75 percent of the time you spend traveling. The rest of the time you spend in public places like airports and around other people. That's when looking good trumps comfort.
believe kid learned reason school sending tech unless work
The reason why I'm sending my super-intellectual 12-year old kid to tech school is because I don't believe he would succeed in this world unless he first learned to work with his hands.
truth
Truth is so much more interesting than the fiction we're used to.
including people race sure whatever
For all the marathons I've run, including the Ironmans that I've run, immediately after the race, I clean myself up, do whatever I need to do to make sure I'm okay, and I get right back out there, and I cheer people on. Because it's the people who come in late in the race I find most inspiring.
asked battery best bet buy explained ipod manhattan offer replace store took
I took my iPod to the Apple store here in Manhattan and asked them to replace the battery. And they explained to me that Apple does not offer a service to replace the battery in the iPod, and my best bet was to buy a new iPod.
son my-son
My son is about ninety nine percent of my life.
ultimate
Then HBO was the pie in the sky. HBO is the absolute ultimate.
curious capability
I'm definitely curious about what the new iPhone and it's video editing capabilities will lend to that.
