Occupy, Do More Faster, back to TV: Jann Scott’s Journal
Nov 7th
Book Review: Do More Faster by Cohen and Feld is more like a digest of Broadway hits than it is a business book. I went to their Boulder book store book signing and that was more of a “little boys science club” then a book tour. Can you take these guys seriously? They are being touted as Boulders business start up gurus. They head up Tech Stars and the Foundry Group, but does any of this add up to a profitable balance sheet anywhere? It does for Cohen and Feld. Their devotes who appear to be about 50,000 strong will buy anything they are selling.
Do More Faster is written for recent college grads who have never worked before. It is for people who have never been in business before. It is written specially for code writers and social media geeks with an idea. More importantly it is written for kids who have an idea. Hopefully they will run their idea by Feld and Cohen so they can snap it up and make money off of it. All of this cloaked in hippy dippy love and share of course, but it is capitalism and hucksterism at it’s best. I just don’t drink the cool aide. Then again I have seen it all before here in Boulder.
Halloween was a slut-bomb attack on the Boulder Mall Last night a bunch of pizza delivery drivers were commenting how every girl on the Boulder Mall were dress up as a slut for Halloween. Not much creativity there. On the other hand the late night clubs in boulder look pretty much the same.

I knew that when my father left the White House 10 years ago, he was not going to stop working to give people the opportunities, health, and tools necessary to live a better life.
His vision of a more equal and prosperous world motivated his decision to run for his first public office (and all thereafter). It is that same force that motivates his work with the Clinton Foundation today.
As we celebrate 10 years of my father’s foundation this year, we’re looking to the future, and asking friends and allies to be part of creating that future.
Please share your thoughts on what challenges you think the Clinton Foundation should tackle in the next 10 years — and please let my father know that you will stand with him in this work.
I recently had the honor of attending the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) — an annual meeting he organizes to inspire, connect, and empower a community of global leaders to forge solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
The experience was invigorating, but it is the action that comes out of these meetings that is truly inspiring. Since the first meeting in 2005, members have made more than 2,000 commitments, which have already improved the lives of 300 million people in more than 180 countries.
That same commitment to meaningful and sustainable results can be seen in the remarkable work of the Clinton Foundation over the past decade — transforming lives by giving people across the globe the tools they need to create better lives for themselves and their communities:
I am very proud of the incredible work my father’s foundation does — every day, all year long, in every corner of the globe — to change the course of people’s lives for the better.
He inspires so many of us; he inspires me every day. So, let’s give a little inspiration back as he embarks on his next 10 years of service to our global community.
Please send your thoughts about where the Clinton Foundation should go in the future — and please let my father know that we’ll stand with him as he continues his work around the world:
