My first thought after listening to John's presentation was: this guy must never sleep. His ability to dive into project after project and come up with idea after idea was equally inspiring and intimidating. It showed me that ideas don't have to be solid and fully formed and secure a job for the remainder of a career. Projects can switch and have a limited lifespans so one can move on to the next thing. For me, this is quite relieving. I don't all have to have that one sustaining idea right now.
One of my favorite things about John is how his self- promoting self-branding effectively left him title-less. This concept is kind of tough for me to wrap my head around because I've never really viewed a job or life path as not having a description. The way John wears many different hats and can only be described as or summed up into 'John Herman.' I think that's pretty darn cool and a great way to get out there and have others pick up and follow your ideas.
