This Website Has Secrets

There's an easter egg hidden somewhere on this site. Can you find it?

It's a throwback to a hidden message I included in my first few websites. In 5th grade my dad handed me a copy of some website editing software. Web design has been a creative outlet since.

One of the reasons why I blog and keep this site up is to collaborate with folks.

I regularly publish poems and random things with a creative commons license in the spirit of creative collaboration. If you see something that you want to work with, run with it. Let's create something.

Stuck? Here are some creative ways to tell stories online:

Win A Free Copy Of My Dad’s New Book On Managing

My dad wrote his first book. I’m proud and excited. Let me explain why you should be excited too.

A Biased And True Biography Of My Father

He’s a badass.

He founded Recourses, where he speaks, writes, and consults marketing firms. Basically, he helps creatives learn the nuances of running an efficient business. He:

  • Has worked with more than 600 creative firms.
  • Travels the world and speaks to thousands of seminar attendees.
  • Is discussed in Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Inc. Magazine, and BusinessWeek.
  • Grew up in Guatemala with a tribe of Mayan indians until he was eighteen.
  • Knows a few different languages.
  • Can corner a motorcycle extremely fast, maneuver helicopters, and fly planes.
No big—ok actually the man is brilliant, and it’s pretty neat he’s my dad. I love him (for more reasons than I’ve shared here). As his son, there are many benefits including the ability to ask him a barrage of questions. More recently, he gave me a stack of his books to give away.

His book is for first-time managers, or for experienced managers who want to do it better. Managing (Right) for the First Time is not only heavy with content, it’s in the tone of a man who respects a reader’s time. He doesn’t dance around the issues.

Here’s a quote to whet your appetite:
All the world of managers can be divided into three groups. The first group of managers is the one I’ll just have to call evil people.
If you want more, you can read the first chapter online.

Want A Free Copy?

To enter to win a free copy, complete the steps below:
  1. Click to share on twitter OR share on facebook. If you customize the message, include a link back to this blog post: http://natene.ws/managing

  3. If you are a winner, review the book on Amazon once you finish the book.
Five winners will be randomly selected among the individual comments. Comment as much as you want for a greater chance of winning. You’ll need to login to comment with a valid email address to be eligible, since this is how I’ll contact you if you win. Shipping and handling is on me.

Winners will be announced the night of Wednesday October 13.
