Pucker Up--The Wisdom Of Small Bets Means Kissing A Lot Of Frogs (fastcompany)
Each day thousands of small and midsize companies make big, one-shot bets--and fail. We don’t hear about most of them, just as we don’t hear about people who lose the lottery; they aren’t front-page news. News isn’t interested in these “dog bites man,” or common, everyday stories, because they don’t drive ratings or page views. Instead, the press gives us “man bites dog” stories of big bets and immodest success. The constant repetition reinforces the myth of business as a high stakes lottery in which the winners go big or go home. Peter Sims, best-selling author and venture capitalist, saw the big-bet fairy tale firsthand while attending Stanford Graduate School of Business. “We’ll do something new, start a company or take an unconventional career path,” his fellow MBA students would say to him, “but we need a great [big] idea first.” In other words, they believed billion-dollar ideas were the starting point for entrepreneurs. “But Google started as a small library search project; Starbucks had no chairs and nonstop opera music at the beginning,” Sims says. “Great entrepreneurs didn’t start with big ideas, for the most part.” When business owners, MBAs, and senior executives buy into ...

While the album offers more of the folkish melodies and vaguely internationalist rhythms that made this Charlottesville, Virginia, group a major record and concert draw, it also finds them adding new colorings to the mix. Alanis Morissette guests on two cuts, “Spoon” and the disc’s first single, “Don’t Dr… |

Neil Young – Heart of Gold $14.99 “I just want to play well, share the stage with my friends, give the best I can,” says Neil Young before the concert that is the centerpiece of Heart of Gold. No problem, dude. Working with filmmaker Jonathan Demme, Young has come up with a gem–not all flash and bling-bling, but as understated as a single pearl, musically restrained yet emotionally open. Of course, neither Demme (an Oscar winner … |

Mad Dogs & Englishmen $9.47 The rock & roll road show never really caught on, which is surprising given that Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen revue showed tour dogs how it’s done. Recorded live at New York’s Fillmore East in the spring of 1970, this CD (as well as a film of the same name) documents a slapdash extravaganza (the whole thing was conceived, organized, and abandoned over the course of two months) that overflows… |

Roy Orbison – Live at Austin City Limits $19.99 He may not have been blessed with the photogenic looks and obvious charisma of your typical rock star, but Roy Orbison had at least two of the things that make a great artist: timeless songs, and a voice to sing ‘em with. That’s all on display in this hour-long 1982 performance on television’s Austin City Limits. It’s not Orbison’s finest moment, perhaps; his band is competent but uninspired, and … |
