The Collaboration Question

A question that I have been asking myself a lot lately is, “Are we using these new social technologies to collaborate and create massively impactful, engaging and life changing things?” The web has provided us with some of the most powerful collaboration tools the world has ever known. Many of us are sitting at home or in an office and we are asking ourselves how we can leverage these technologies to better reach audiences, create compelling content and fulfill our creative passions! My advice to anyone reading this is to seek out people to collaborate with and create a whole that is much bigger than the sum of it’s parts.

After my time away from the keyboard I got to thinking about who I might want to collaborate with and people I know that would surely be a powerful collaborative force; so I sent this tweet:

Tim Street is well known for his online videos. He produces innovative and viral web based shows like French Maid TV. Beyond that Tim is a digital thinker and trend setter. I have been following Tim and his amazing career for about three years now and I am always blown away by his ideas and foresight.

CC Chapman – CC who never likes to be put into a box is a creative director at the Campfire Agency based in New York. CC resides in Boston with his family and weaves his creativity all over the web with podcasting, blogging and video.

JC Hutchins – JC “Hutch” Hutchins is a podiobook author as well as multiple book print author who leads the digital spaces with his creative and innovative storytelling, multi platform use and gorilla marketing. For my money, JC is easily the best and most engaging storyteller I have come across in my adult life rivaling that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was my favorite author as a child.

So, Why am I profiling these Individuals?

Without getting further into the details of these three men I simply think that if you left these three individuals in a locked room for a couple of days with food, water and needed amenities that they would emerge with an amazing idea. Not only would they come out with an idea, but they would come out with a way to implement and captivate us with a story that would be engaging and life changing. I have no doubt!

So I ask you these questions, “Who would you love to see collaborate on an idea?” “Who would it be your dream to collaborate with?” and furthermore, with these technologies, “Why not make it happen?” I think most people are closer to their dream than they even realize!

Check these guys out! How cool would it be to see these three work on a project together?? I’d pay to be a fly on the wall in that room.
