As I told Sam, I was coming back from vacation and kind of out of pocket for the live event and so am eagerly awaiting the recording. I love the idea and can't wait to hear it!

Really glad to hear the most made a difference for you. That's what this is all about. @Drew -- I think that would apply to most people *except* for Johnny's readers. "WTF?" is the normal state when reading a new Truant post, so therefore Johnny's pattern interrupt would be posting a long philosophical expose on the nature of epistemological development from 1913-1927. @David -- That's cool! Hadn't seen The Nines before. I love these "microformats" as a means for spreading a lot of ideas quickly. It's always cool to see different and innovative structures for packaging online content. @Scott — Awesome. Really glad to hear the most made a difference for you. That’s what this is all about.

There is a conference online for the past few years called "The Nines" where The Leadership Network and Catalyst ask 75 leaders, "if you had nine minutes to share with other leaders what would you tell them?" I thought it was quite interesting. Here is the information about it from last year: http://thenines.leadnet.org/ This is a very unique idea except it’s not all that unique.

So “pattern interrupt” means your readers say, “WTF?” Yeah, I think I got that part down.

Be remarkable or be unremarkable, as he says. Interrupt the conversation is a mantra to keep close hold of. What a terrific way to start another day chasing a little bit of money on someone else's terms. I loved this. Thank you for making this morning so much easier.

What if you did something like get all of the entrepreneurial daddy bloggers out there to record your kids saying what they love most about having an daddy who's an entrepreneur. How cute would that be? "My daddy's cool because..." Or you could have each of the dad's give their kids one sentence to say that's an actual marketing or business tip, but delivered by a kid. "If yew wont to gwow yahw bidness, make shaw to choose ah nitch that yahw passionate about." :) Or what other disruptive campaigns could you do related to the "entrepreneurial daddy" world that would bring fellow (and well followed) bloggers and entrepreneurs on board? Hope that sparks some fresh ideas! @Andy Cool blog!

I've been thinking a lot about this lately. My blog/business seems to be transforming at a rapid rate these days "Thanks to viewers like you" <-- said in my best PBS announcer guy voice. As my audience grows, I'm realizing that they generally want to learn about the same things that are everywhere these days. I love that it's heading in this direction, but I've been feeling a little like the same old thing that's been done before. Of course I put my own personality and style into everything, but it hasn't seemed like enough. Not to me anyway. I really liked the 5 points you outlined. I was reading them and thinking "I know this". I know a lot of things though. It's fully implementing them that seems to get lost sometimes. I'm definitely looking forward to the 60 minutes of awesomeness. 60 in 60 – very cool idea indeed.
