Des Moines, Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, User Generated Book Tour

Two of the Coolest Things I've Seen in a While

Ok, let's all take a break from freaking out about Paisano's guest post on Y Combinator. (btw: I've realized today it's more fun to let someone else create controversy and just watch the page views roll in! Hang in there, Pai!) I wanted to share two things that made my day:

First, Robert Jensen of the Des Moines Twitter posse made a UGBT Guitar!!! Check it out! I think I want one of these! To get your own pack of SarahLacy.com UGBT stickers with your city's name, email Olivia at sarahlacy dot com. (Has to be a city on the tour, Seattle and Portland stops are LATER THIS WEEK/NEXT WK! RSVP and spread the word!)

Second: The latest Lacy Jump. This is by Sam Purtill, frequent SarahLacy.com commenter. Sam actually has an unnamed cameo in the book. If anyone can name it for me, you get a free T-Shirt. Or you could just do your own Lacy Jump and get one. Sam: Yours is on the way!

"Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky" puts a well-deserved spotlight on the fascinating entrepreneurs working in some of the most overlooked places on Earth.

Brilliant. Crazy. Cocky.

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.
