Calgarian Bucking Global Trend (The Sun, Nov 2009) [Jeremy speaking] was the most energizing, inspiring and applicable piece of stand-up I have ever seen. And I've heard Bill Clinton speak, listened to enough Bill Gates on YouTube and sat through my fair share of Tony Robbins CDs.

He sells people in suits the sense that they’ve got a handle on things. His book reads like Chicken Soup for the Confused Executive’s Soul. [More]

Trend Hunter was born while the 29-year-old was still earning his MBA. He later launched it as a place to find new ideas and interact with people of a similar mindset. “I’ve always been insatiably curious, entrepreneurial and probably have a short-attention span,” he says. “What that means is, I was always looking for my next big business opportunity or a new idea.” [More]
Trolling for Trends... Capturing Cool Profile: Jeremy Gutsche's Job Description (Queen's, Q2 2009) If you want to converse with Jeremy Gutsche about his work, be prepared to discover a new language.While ‘clusters’ may be chocolaty-almond delicacies and ‘sparks’ a function of electricity in your lingo, to Jeremy they’re the constructs of the massive ‘trend’ universe he’s created online.
