The Passion Economy eBook

It all started when I first read Saul Kaplan's article on "Creating a Passion Economy". I was so enamored with this concept that I asked eleven people I respect to weigh in on their views regarding "The Passion Economy" and it's role or impact on business, brands and each of us.

Nice, dude!

Thanks Paul!

I learned a LOT going through this process. There's still a few little things it would have been nice to catch/correct but at the end of the day I just wanted to get it out there and get the conversation started.

And it's also just step one!

Well done Sean. Thanks for giving me a chance to share what I think is a chance for us all (everyone) to pitch in and make things better.

Thanks for pulling this together Sean and in such a short period of time.
Good topic, great co-authors and it seems like you've been getting good feedback.

@Charles: Dude! I couldn't even imagine exploring the area of passion without asking you to chime in!

@Michael: I've given up on sleep. I think it was part of the older "Knowledge Economy". It's been replaced by twitter I think. ;)

@Alan: Thanks so much, Alan. I look to you as a litmus test and you were literally the first person I asked to write. I figured if you told me I was out of my mind, that would be a sign to rethink this crazy idea.
