Here’s the video from my Ignite Fort Collins #7 talk. It comes down to this: Wisdom is only found when we share a combined experience with a mutually understood language. Those languages can be in any form, written, spoken, symbolic, etc. Engage the experience. Learn the language. Share the Wisdom.
Take a look a the other great Ignite Fort Collins talks while you’re on the site.
The ABA called me up out of the blue in July and said “We’re having an Ignite-style event as part of the Legal Rebels project at the Annual Meeting and we’re asking 10 thought-leaders to come present. We’d like you to be one of them.”
Of course I jumped at the opportunity. Then I jumped on a plane. I’d been hoping for an opportunity to get to San Francisco on business ever since Missing the Flight. This was it.
I was picked up at the Airport by Mary Kay (my biological mother) with whom I would be spending the first time together ever in my almost 42 years of life. We got to spend some great time.
The next morning I was able to hook up with one of the Members of The Space Between Center for Creative Spirit in Business lawyer mastermind group, Kristen Kuse and have our first in-person chat. Then off to the venue.
The presentations were given in a segmented area of the Exhibit Floor of the Annual Meeting. Mine is titled: “The F-Word Manifesto” and deals with 4 F-Words: Fear, Fail, Flat & Free. Here’s the presentation.
You can pop over to the F-Word Manifesto Web site and sign up to receive the freebies. Also take advantage of scheduling a 20-minute “Ask Anything” conversation with me. I’m convinced that my flat fee model will work in any service business if you do a little homework, get past your fear, and have a little faith. I’d love to help you figure out how to implement this system in your business too.
You can find the other ABA Ignite presentations here.
I’ll be doing a similar presentation of The F-Word Manifesto talk at Ignite Fort Collins #6 on September 22st. You can get your Free tickets here. The presentation I’ll do that night will be tailored for service businesses in general rather than just for lawyers. I hope to see you there or talk to you soon on a 20-minute Ask Anything call.

I will be speaking at the Legal Rebels program during the upcoming American Bar Association 2010 San Francisco Annual Meeting. It would be my pleasure if you would join me. Please stop by to see me present at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, August 5 at the expo floor at George Moscone Center West.
This is an “Ignite” style event – all the speaker have 6 minutes with 20 slides on auto-timers. If you’ve ever been to an Ignite event locally, do it. You’ll find that these are very high-energy programs and I’m sure this Legal Rebels program will be a crazy good time – at least a crazy good time for lawyers. 🙂
A video of each talk will be posted at legalrebels.com during the month of September.

Here’s a little video on the Alchemy of Ideas. Hopefully this will shed some light on why Intellectual Property law does not care about your idea – only what you’ve DONE with your idea to bring it into the word and share it with the rest of us.
Granted, I still have a lot of improvement to make on the video technical – lighting, sound, visuals, etc. Stick with me. I hope to polish up the technical as quickly as I can.
