Firstly, I really dig the concept of the one interview series.

Secondly, this one in particular I find to be very inspiring. Things like Post Secret can only come about when people follow their gut- I can only imagine what people would mail in! It’s like a peek into the life of a stranger…

Anywho…thanks for the post, good work.

Long time fan of Post Secret. Some concepts are difficult to “get” immediately, and you really have to see Post Secret to really understand it. The whole spectrum of human emotions is there in its most raw form. Shakespeare was right when he wrote

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players”

Most of us are acting out a role in life – Post Secret allows people to throw off the mask for a moment.

Cool post! I'm adding PostSecret to my reader, too. Darren, you keep adding to the reasons that you're blog would be one of the last one's I'd ever delete from my feed reader. Thanks!

The elevator pitch gets you in the door…then the real selling work begins :)

Yes, your elevator pitch is just that, for the “what do you do” questions where you only get 30 seconds to answer. Beyond that then you have to answer questions such as, “Why?” and then you get into public speaking, something that’s frightening to many of us. Interesting blog.

I just stumbled upon PostSecret today for the first time. I thought it was an amazing concept, and the postcards written in were amazing.

Thanks for sharing a bit of your technique, and ideas behind the beginning of a blog.
