Last week I took a walk with Tim O’Reilly (my boss) and cameraman Kirk Walter (who has perfected the art of walking backwards with a 15 pound camera on his shoulder!).  We spoke about a wide range of topics that will be released over the coming weeks.   This is the first in that series,  “Work on Stuff that Matters,”  a subject that Tim spoke about throughout 2008.   It seems even more relevant in 2009.   The original Radar post that I did is here.

Tim’s passion and focus is with the entrepreneurs who are working in garages and small businesses around the world on big, audacious projects.   This discussion really got me thinking about my own role in working on stuff that matters.  How do I as a consultant ensure that my work is done in service to stuff that matters and congruent with my values?   That post is coming up soon.
These videos are a companion piece to Tim’s recent blog post, of the same name.  A great read, especially for the comments that support the original post.

We will be releasing the other segments over the next few weeks. They will also live on at www.thefutureatwork.com (where the video series has a home).  There you can also download the files for offline viewing.
