Subscribe to the good words of Seth Godin
Of course, it’s not done. It’s never done.
That’s not the right question.
The question is: when is it good enough?
Good enough, for those that seek perfection, is what we call it when it’s sufficient to surpass the standards we’ve set. Anything beyond good enough is called stalling and a waste of time.
If you don’t like your definition of ‘good enough’, then feel free to change that, but the goal before shipping is merely that. Not perfect.

I rocked out with Manchester Orchestra last night in Denver. I’ve gone from being introduced to seeing them live… to solid fan in 2 days. This video is from their Hollywood show last week… Mind blowing Denver video to come.
The song above (Colly Strings – I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child) is from their first album released in 2006.
Grab their newly released album and enjoy the growth of Manchester Orchestra with me. Simple Math 
was released on May 9th, 2011, it isn’t even a month old… songs 6, 7 and 8 played together will change your life.
6 – Virgin
7 – Simple Math
8 – Leave it Alone
Simple Math is simply a refresh on something artists tend to veer away from these days — actually making a complete album. Thank you Manchester for not following the normal and keeping the album alive.
The new sounds you install into your old songs + an absolutely mind blowing live performance = impossible to not love you. Thanks for the show.

Marketing through education... genius.
Audi is a dominant force at Le Mans, winning 9 times in the last 11 years and it’s an aspect of Audi that perfectly exemplifies the Audi ethos and approach to engineering and product development. In short, it’s Vorsprung durch Technik in action.
In 1923, the winning LeMans team completed 128 laps in 24 hours. Last year, an Audi R15 TDI plus completed a record setting 397 laps.

Can't forget the Doug Smith Show.
For those of you fortunate enough to hear the stories from my trip to west texas to document the amazing Doug Smith… you will appreciate this. For those of you fortunate enough to witness this performance of a lifetime – you already have an appreciation for Doug and his incredible story.
A true musical genius behind the piano. This is the first track I share with people to help them understand what a piano is supposed to sound like.
Get this song: West Texas
Get the most amazing live piano album of all time: Doug Smith – Live
There are a couple reasons why I have never applied myself in the corporate world. This is one of them…
“Back in my early corporate days, this came as quite a shock to me: that people sitting around the table didn’t always say what they were REALLY thinking! Shock! Horror!
But why would anyone lie? Aren’t we all meant to be on the same team?
But after a while, you get used to it. After a while, it’s normal. After a while, you learn to laugh at it.
And that’s when the cartoon appears…”
Interestingly enough… you can apply this concept directly to relationships too.
Thanks Hugh.

June 4th, 2011 – Ted Archuleta will reveal his newly shaped body to the world when he performs his 60 second routine to this get pumped version of “All of the Lights” by Kanye West and Rihanna.
1 – Listen to the mix we made — All of the Lights (Archuleta Mix by Hydle)
2 – Get pumped.
3 – Now you understand where the context of this email is coming from.
Ok Ted … time for Hydle to take charge of his health.
I want a program – I want small episodes of how to cook – how to eat healthy – and I want to understand why why why… why a certain percentage of whole wheat whatever is ok vs. some other whole wheat whatever. I want to bring this story into my blogo-sphere-land and story telling ability and it is going to connect with other random cooking things I have in the pipeline.
There is a space for this now and in the future… your identity has already been slightly established (http://www.hydle.com/blog/tag/ted-archuleta/) and with your weight training and body building success about to unfold we have a perfect launching platform to tell stories.
This will take work — actually it will probably be the most difficult thing you have ever achieved (way harder then going to coors complex and not drinking beer)… but I think you can muster it. Let me know if you are up for being the master dietitian… + rocket scientist. And maybe energy drink review master for Hydle.com
Rock on!
Hydle
4 – Support Ted at the Mile High Natural Bodybuilding Championships on June 4th.
5 – Live better and smile more.
6 – Repeat steps 1 and 2.
7 – Repeat step 6 – over and over and over again.
LISTEN
We often forget who we are.
We often forget what is really important.
We often forget who’s really important.
We are so easily distracted.
We forget how to listen.
We forget.
Such an amazing reminder to us all… Thanks Hugh.
