A lot of snacks are wimpy, but this one has balls, packed with protein and taste…
Big ideas are the lifeblood of change. I love Big Ideas. I could snack on them all day long. In his book, The Icarus Deception, Seth Godin makes a case for creativity as the survival of our future. I love Seth Godin and read his newsletter every day. He’s wise, witty, and relevant. He has inspired me to embrace my creativity and uniqueness, instead of pretending to conform.
Here’s a Seth Godin quote: “The search for the right answer is the enemy of art… there is no right answer in art… An artist is someone who does something for the first time, something human, something that touches another.”
These look more like cookies than balls, so use your imagination. Any shape will do!
