Just being honest

I tried to think of someone and the only person I could think of is Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr.

He is real. He is honest. He helps keep the art of letterpress alive.

I know I should come up with some one that is really rich or a common house hold name, but I am skeptical of people who are super well known. They have publicists and PR people to rep and vet them. They have a brand and they present that brand and I have no way of knowing if it is authentic; it probably was at some point. I don't know Amos either, but I know his work and one of my mentor's is his good friend, so I trust his brand a little more than some CEO that I will never meet.

I admire Amos.

  1. thanks, Aaren. Not sure why you think you need to choose someone who's really rich or well known. Why would that make someone an admirable leader?
