As most of you who follow me know, I love to talk.  I can and will talk to almost anyone I come in contact with and even more than that, I love to hear new ideas.  I went to an event called bloblive put on by ideablob in Phildaelphia recently where people got to get up and share ideas that they had.  They ranged from food carts to community financed physicians and everything in between.  I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of the presenters.  At this event, a good friend of mine spoke about her idea.

Gloria discussed the idea of “a la carte business assistant services”.  These could include doing the books, sending emails or event running customer service duty when you’re unavailable as an entrepreneur.  Check out her presentation below and her company at Red Stapler Consulting or her interview by Jonny Goldstein.

I plan on taking a new direction on life.  I’ve been a netsec guy for a while and I enjoy the technology.  I really enjoy working with my hands, designing new systems, breaking into others but I believe that I will have a lot more fun in the startup, entrepeneur and community-driven world.

The big reason for this change is that I love working with people.  I love learning from people, meeting new people, teaching what I can and simply listening to what others have to say.  This is the direction I want my life to go in.  I don’t want to be answering the calls, I want to make them.  I want to take the community head on and learn from what each and everyone of you have to teach.  I want to share what you have to teach to the rest of the world.

That’s why, in addition to starting a new career path very soon, I am also going to start to talk to more people and post what they have to say here, at Srcasm.com.  To start I’m talking to Jason Allum, of RipIt, and his life and how it got him to where he is.  Did you know Jason lived in Japan, built awesome things with his hands and travelled the world?  I didn’t either until I stopped to listen.  I’ll be writing a post outlining who Jason is and will hopefully be getting answers to the questions of (that means the questions from you, the readers).

Live, learn, and be merry.  It’s easy, lets try.
