This is the story of a chance encounter that changed my life:
2/ I met Russell on a random chance encounter in a Portland coffee shop several years ago. His offhand comments about the mac I was working on changed my perspective on work, challenge, and doing things that haven't been done before.
3/ What could have been a chance encounter with an elder at a coffee shop turned into a sort of wake up call from the inventor of the first programmable computer and creator of the pixel!
4/ In the span of about 10 minutes, he upended my naive thought of the the impossible and left me with one statement and one challenge that changed my outlook forever.
5/ The statement: "Nothing is withheld from us which we have conceived to do."
6/ The challenge: "Do things that have never been done."
7/ I wrote about this encounter years ago, but it's still been one of the most impactful. encounters I've ever had. The full story is much more impactful than my tweetstorm could possibly be https://impossiblehq.com/an-unexpected-ass-kicking/
8/ "Do things that have never been done." Great words from a remarkable man. Thanks for setting the example Russell. Time to step it up.
