I’ve Been Tagged

27Jul07

It seems there is a world-wide game of tag going on at the moment. Bloggers are tagged by other bloggers and are encouraged to write 8 random things about themselves. Seems I have been lured into the game after being tagged this week by fellow Age of Conversation author C.B. Whittmore from Flooring the Consumer.

So here we go….8 Random Things About Me

1. I have lived in 3 countries: Australia, Finland and USA.

2. I met my American wife in Finland, married her in USA and now reside in Australia.

3. I have been a competitive sailboarder, sailor and cyclist (hello MasiGuy).

4. Owning my own advertising agency was both one of the bravest and most natural things I have ever done.

5. I love to write but until I began blogging I had never found the right forum (beyond 30 second TVC’s). I can thank Gavin Heaton for that.

6. I am the guy who flicks between TV programs looking for the ads – sick I know.

7. I picked Cadel Evans to win the Tour de France before it started. He has been fighting valiantly near the top of the race and now with drug cheats dropping like flies he may be the first Aussie winner ever. Go Cadel.

8. I am determined to create a successful "Citizen Powered Media".

Now…who should I tag?
Gordon Whitehead because he needs all the love he can get (joking)
Tim Jackson because I too love classic Italian bikes
Tim Ferriss because we’d all like to know how to have a 4 Hour Work Week
Laura Ries because I like the way she and Al think about brands
Robin Sharma because everyone needs to put things in perspective sometimes
Kofi Annan because he is a clear voice from deepest darkest Africa
Kim Klaver because my mother-in-law was so excited when she found I was in the same book as Kim Klaver
Andrew Parker because he is so passionate about his field

So there you go….8 very interesting people, 8 different perspectives, 8 blogs worth reading.
