In this episode, we sit down with WMC Fest Speaker Jon Contino. We talk to him about starting his design career, where he pulls his inspiration from, and what he feels about people using his techniques in their work. Plus, we touch on what he’ll be speaking about at WMC Fest. Bill and Jeff also talk about the general atmosphere in the Go Media office as we enter the week of the fest.

Quick Tip: Get negative people out of your life.

It doesn’t matter if it’s an employee with a ton of talent or a customer who’s giving you a lot of money. Negative people affect your entire workflow and overall motivation. One bad employee can bring down the entire office. Time spent with negative people is wasted time.

What Go Media Has Been Up To

• WMC Fest is this weekend. Seriously. We’re here. And Jeff has been engulfed in every aspect of the fest.
• We’re looking for volunteers for WMC Fest.
• The release of Bill’s book will be after WMC Fest. The deadline of selling it at the Fest was great for motivation, but not great for the overall strategy.
