One in 8 Million
I Love hearing people’s stories & these are great stories. A slideshow coupled with audio of NY’rs from all walks of life. Of course I was drawn in by the story of the comedian, Jesse Pop (shout to the homie, CrisGray, on the link) but then I got to meet the tolerance teacher from Greece, the Pathologist born of a family obsessed with morbidity, the tabloid photographer since 1946, the subway performer and a host of others.
I’m not thinking about how I’m going to change myself to fit a certain demographic. I just have to block that nonsense out…you have to stake out what you think is right, you have to put out that signal, make sure it’s pure and then do it and do it and do it and know that they will come. And if they don’t, you have to pack up your bags and say: ‘I enjoyed my time here. Sorry it didn’t work out.’ But the biggest mistake would be to alter my signal to make sure that I reach all these different people. Because then you’re lost.
