December 5th, 2007 — Peter Economy, Podcast, True Callings
[display_podcast]
A couple of weeks ago - thanks to our new friend Nettie Hartsock - we ran across the amazing True Callings story of business writer, Peter Economy.
Peter made a bold leap 7 years ago from corporate work into the writing life, which all by itself is a great example of answering a calling (if you love this story, stay tuned for more about and from Peter in early 2008).
Just recently though, True Calling came knocking at Peter’s door again, marrying up a couple of his loves and passions, and the whole thing has cranked up his sense of purpose more than a notch or two. Bam!
Ever thought about writing a book? Ever stalled out?
Well, this best-selling writer’s looking for somebody he can write (and publish - he’s got the inside scoop there) a new book with in 2008, absolutely free of charge!
And that’s not all…
Hear all about Peter and his One Year One Book For Free project in this episode of True Callings.
SPECIAL NOTE: Tremendous response to the One Laptop Per Child Foundation’s Give One Get One promotion had them extend it from November 27th right through to December 31st!

The Keith Taylor/Modest Needs Story
[display_podcast]
Remember the ORDINARY PEOPLE - EXTRAORDINARY LIVES story we ran back in 2005 about Keith Taylor, whose True Calling turned the Tennessee professor into the ’small change philanthropist’?
Well, in just a little over five years, Taylor’s personal mission is now www.ModestNeeds.org, one of the most innovative and highly respected non-profits in the US.
Modest Needs is going so strong - its mission so compelling - that this month two giants of inspired (and inspiring) industry have jumped on board in support (which is what tends to happen when true callings are at work - they incomprehensively attract what they are ready for next)!
Can you guess which two?
Hear all about it - and about how you can participate in this extraordinary mission this holiday season or all year round - by listening.

The Nicholas Negroponte / One Laptop Per Child Story
[display_podcast]
About 3 years ago, MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte announced to the world that he intended to build and distribute $100 laptops to every child in third-world nations.
People everywhere told him educating the masses was a genuinely lovely idea but a bit of a Pollyanna-ish, utopian impossibility, all things considered.
Thing is, when a True Calling has its way, nothing’s impossible…
Hear more about it - and about how you can participate in this historic and revolutionary world-wide effort - by listening.
