Method: Eight Things Stand-Up Comedy Teaches Us... →
platformsandpixels: Awesome. Method nails this. One thing I would add relative to startups, is that remember it’s about more than just ‘solving problems’. Don’t forget to delight your audience, and even make them laugh. More and more startups are billing themselves as alternative forms of storytelling (e.g. Instagram), so don’t forget about the entertainment.

I think I”ll still probably have some drinks, but like his perspective. dariusmonsef: I had my last drink of alcohol 3 years ago and it’s been a dance-battling, boat-cruising, skinny-dipping, word-traveling, HUGE party ever since. It wasn’t a choice of restriction or having less fun, but rather of fully experiencing everything and truly having the most fun possible. The way…
