entrepreneurship, London, Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good

If You Won't Buy MY Book, Buy This One!

Paul Carr is the British Sarah Lacy, as you know if you're a regular sarahlacy.com reader. I understand he's even regarded as "sexy" over there. A recent suggestion for a joint-appearance when the UK version of my book comes out included Paul-- not me -- wearing a half shirt.

I don't know about all that. But I do know I can not wait to get my hot little American hands on his new book "Bringing Nothing to the Party: Confessions of a New Media Whore." (Apparently waaaaaay too long titles are yet another cosmic link between the two of us.)

I just noticed you can download the prologue on his blog (link above). I am slammed at Yahoo today so I've only been able to sneak away for one page. But this line is priceless, mostly because it vindicates my book-full of bad language:

"'Fuck' I half-whisper back. One habit you soon pick up, hanging out with dot com entrepreneurs, is swearing."

See Mom and Gotham! It's not me!

There was something else I was going to say about Paul Carr when I started this post. But I forgot. That's how busy I am! I'm sure it was snarky in an I-secretly-love-you sort of way.

An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.
