Unsung Hero
Sometime an ad, is not just an ad… it’s a little spark on the road of your day.
The Expert
This video is so Fk. GREAT that I would not even know where to begin to explain how it is the exact mirror of any corporate day.
It is past funny, it is frightening how it IS the reality. At any give meeting, the chance of being surrounded by self-centered people absorbed by their own freaking agenda (almost) always outnumber the people being there for the greater good of the product.
It is a little gem, a masterpiece of irony at telling the absolute truth. It should be framed on a wall. Yes it’s that good.

Each time I listen to someone talking about the extra mile they put because of their passion for what they do, I skip a heart beat. I’m so much the same.
If you want to understand how difficult the market is in the VFX, just watch this documentary.

Breaking Mad Remix (Season 1 and 2)
This is SO EPIC. I think I watch this video every single week since it is out! And each time I’m still completely mesmerized by how great it is (just listen to it you eyes closed), and how also I miss this show. God do I miss it. The spin-off, Better Call Saul, cannot come quick enough.
The part 2 is also awesome, but this particular piece is an anthology to be remembered, as long as the show itself, meaning the eternity.
GoPro: Hovercraft Deer Rescue
Go Pro, there are just amazing. They freaking know how to stand-out, make a name for themselves, through the name of all their clients and what they believe into and love doing.
They do not sell a technology, but a way of living and being.
They are a brand like Apple is. Human.
This is a pretty big leap for any company and very few companies have succeed something like this. Just look at this video here, it has been seen more than 2.5 millions times already. A vast majority of their videos on their channel have more than 10 millions views, some even closing around 30 millions!
No Ads!, No Games! No Gimmicks!
WhatApps’s Jan Koum keeps a note from Brian taped to his desk that reads “No Ads! No Games! No Gimmicks!” It serves as a daily reminder of their commitment to stay focused on building a pure messaging experience.
This what FOCUS worth when your are 500% committed to it… 19 billions.. (and 6.8 billions for Koum alone).
