What’s your passion?

At a conference this past spring, I sat in on a panel with John Grubber and Merlin Mann, where they were supposed to talk about “Turbocharging Your Blog”. What they presented was actually an offshoot of the title that didn’t really have anything specifically to do with blogging. They talked about finding your passion and expressing it.

It’s probably one of my favorite talks I’ve ever sat in on. I wanted to share it with everyone today, because I see a common thread in lots of people I know of big life changes, people getting into music, people getting into photography or film, people finding new hobbies in running or biking or camping, etc…

This talk is a great encouragement for finding that thing you love.. and doing it.

    Definitely agree. That was a great talk, very inspirational. I still remember points they made when I write my posts.

    thanks for sharing this one Ryan, really poignant. The thing i kept thinking about was the “why”. What’s behind the obsession is us Grubber spoke about?
