Congrats to our www.cheaptickets.com contest winner: Brendan Walsh!
Brendan is artistic genius, who we got to know one day in Jinja, Uganda. (I shouted him out before because of his great ONLINE cd 'Letters and Veins'.)
Brendan, in my eyes, is a perfect example of somebody who uses the internet as a WORLD LEADER! Not waiting for his big-shot-breakthrough - he's just putting on the web what he loves to do! You should follow him too. He's gonna get far! And here is the greatest part: Brendan and his friend Jim are in the preps of starting a non-profit that want to make inspirational video's for ... NGO's! They would love to travel to countries like Ugandan (where i got to know him from in the first place) and shoot video's, edit them, and then give them to the NGO's for their causes! Thats empowerment right there. Most NGO's could never afford to 'hire' a team of profs!
Anyway, his story is too funny to me. To do so, he would have to travel a lot. A whole lot.
Travel is expensive. How great would it be if they could fly for free? Or maybe a start-up budget of ... $50,000?
His girlfriend told him about this competition of www.cheaptickets.com about making a TV-ad. Grand price? $50,000 in FREE airline travel!
That night he dreamed about HOW HE SHOULD DO IT, and --- even funnier to me --- in his dream he saw himself go in his dads garage, to get all the props for the video.
Next day - he goes in his dads garage, and him and his friend Jim (who also won the second price in the competition) made the video at the end of this blog.
LONG story short... he got all their friends to vote for him... AND THEY WON!!!
Lesson to learn: Do what you love to do - and tell somebody. Not only will it inspire that person, but one day you'll reap some great rewards. Brendan did - and so can you.
