David St Lawrence

David St Lawrence is author and master architect of the Ripples Blog.   Ripples is like a diamond.  It took years to form.  In David's case, fifty years in high tech design and marketing.  I hate math, but let's give this a try.  Fifty years of work plus nine equals fifty-nine.  So in conclusion, David began his career working overseas for Phil Knight. 

Readers of Ripples bask in the richness of its formation.  There is practically no other way to reach the mile marker on David's journey, than to walk it one step at a time.  I for one do not have fifty-years to invest.  Because when I am seventy-three I'll be working on running my kids and their kid's lives.  So, the next best thing is to read David's stuff...and learn.

My personal favorite topics that David discusses are:  Micro-Business , Self-Publishing and Doing What You Love.  Another treat you'll enjoy at Ripples is meeting the most interesting people like, Jane Chin. 

If Ripples isn't enough to save your butt many times over, in addition to shaving time and miles off of your own journey, David brings us a second jewel:  Danger Quicksand - Have a Nice Day .  David took the time to write a book about his work experiences and life in the corporate world.  By his own definition, it is a survival guide.  What to watch out for; Who to trust; Prepare for change; Stay current; Keep your eye on the horizon; The ideal job... are all interspersed with crisp stuff on life like integrity and honesty. 

I will focus more on Danger Quicksand - Have a Nice Day in posts to come.

Thank you. I am touched.

You have also inspired me to do more of the same. :)

I really need to get the second book in shape to send to the printer. You will get a pre-press copy to review. Look for your copy of "Who's in Charge?" any month now.

David, how cool! I didn't know that I could inspire like that! Thank you!
