Latest Obsession / Inspiration for change

What a brilliant idea to capture the attention of a large fan base, leverage one's creative talents and fund-raise for a cause that's near and dear to their heart.   Fans and a few of the actors themselves are making @WendyMolyneux  go see  @Entouragemovie four times while raising money for #CureSearch  (an org that focuses on a cure for Pediatric Cancers).

In 10 days, the 'Bob's Burgers' writer has been able to garner 606 donations, media pick up from NPR to Hollywood Reporter http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bob-s-burgers-writer-raises-798775  and a bit of social media buzz bringing her current total to $32,546 (at this point)  http://dt.gofund.me/arigold She was humbly hoping she could get to $10K. Genius!

I love everything about this.  It's the stuff we dream up when we're brainstorming ideas for brands & entertainment promotions & partnerships and hoping we can

wrap a good social cause to make our efforts mean just a little bit more to the greater good, rather than just marketing fun entertainment..well, at least that's always my hope.

Congrats to @WendyMolyneuxDrake , @CureSearch and even the Entourage Movie team for in inadvertently helping drive awareness and research dollars for a worthy cause. Oh and I'm pretty sure it's not so bad for her own career as well;)  Bravo!!

THE BROAD - A SNEAK PEAK

SKY-LIT at THE BROAD (http://thebroad.org) was an incredible experience. To get a sneak peak into the new contemporary art museum being built by philanthropists Eli & Edythe Broad to house nearly 2,000 works from their collection was very special.

What made it more special is that I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Eli Broad himself. A self-made man who comes from the same town & lived in the same small community I was raised.  From humble beginnings to amass a fortune that enabled collecting & preserving an incredible collection of postwar & contemporary art is truly inspirational.  I admire the Broad's commitment to "The Giving Pledge" (http://givingpledge.org/).  

I hope to deepen this connection and who knows, someday I too could play a part in The Broad Foundation (http://www.broadfoundation.org/) as their support for Education, Science, Art & Civic initiatives is inspiring,

Looking forward to the museum opening in September 2015

"My conscience serves as my guide" by Patti Smith

I love this campaign! From brand / marketing standpoint it's genius.  The short film is beautiful. The installation in Flatiron is impactful and the ranrge of interesting people both famous and fans show how broad the reach of these simple sneakers.

From a fan of Chuck's, I find it captivating. It's real. It's fun.

And this one especially speaks to me since I recently finished reading Patti Smith's "Just Kids".  She captures the creativity & rawness of Chelsea in her time there while taking her through her artistic journey. Worth the read

USE SOCIAL FOR GOOD, NOT JUST A SILLY DRESS!!! #Whatcolor do you care about? If people could just care a little bit more about humanity & a little but less about a dress, that would be awesome!

Snagging from @holidaymatinee SO true!!! Stop & notice the sunshine, walking effortlessly down a lovely block, that feeling after you've just taken a run on a snowboard, eating that delicious meal, having a interesting or meaningful convo, or just a good laugh. When things may be feeling sucky. 2 rules to bring perspective. 1)If it's going to be funny later, you might as well laugh 'now' 2) imagine how much suckier it would be if you simply couldn't do it at all or it was accompanied by chronic searing pain. #learnedthehardway #appreciateNOW I'm so grateful to #friendslikefamily for getting me this far.

Dan Pallotta: Do We Have The Wrong Idea About Charity?

Love this talk..it seems so logical and yet it's a tough sell..I always hear people complain about "overhead costs" of NGO's & NPO's but in order to make things happen, wouldn't it make sense to have the best & the brightest dedicated to the cause?

Fundraiser Dan Pallotta says nonprofits are rewarded for being frugal, not for what they get done.
