Keywords: eric lewis, Marketing Ideas

I’ve long advocated that everyone should have a regular SoS Day - Switch off Screens.

Delighted to see Paul Carr quoting TED selecting Eric Lewis - erm, he went to a live gig instead of hanging around on his iPhone and not talking to anyone. It’s sweet to see the inspiration:

Meanwhile, I’m off to an all night poetry writing workshop in a wood in the wildest of England on Friday. Pass me the RedBull.
