Presented in Saskatoon for the Wiegers Financial & Benefits seminar October 27th. The internet revolution is changing our world, no one argues that anymore, but it's how it's changing our world that makes it interesting. We have unlimited choices for everything we buy but from some reason we love what's different, what's interesting, what's remarkable. That's our only hope now, to stand out, you can't just stay on the status quo, you have to do something that moves people, that pushes your boundaries, that may one day change the world.
