Maybe You Can Go Back Home...
I shot this video with Hillary Brown (or @hillabean as Twitterers may know her) my first night in Des Moines. She grew up in Des Moines and felt she had to move because it held no job opportunities for anyone wanting to do "creative" marketing. Now, she has stunned herself by moving back. It's a great story for anyone who misses his or her hometown, and it's a great example of the spread of Web 2.0 and how it's changing where and how people work around the country. Also: Hillary on what Des Moines has that L.A. doesn't!
Enjoy!

New Book
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.
