The Kind of People That Matter Most…
Those are the kind of people that matter most in this new world, because seeing connections where no one else does is the way you can innovate best, and thus the way you can be successful. But just as important, it’s these kinds of people who are passionate about their ideas. They’re the kind of people that will explain to anyone who will listen why what they see (and what no one else does) is true, and they are the kind of people who will see it through from idea to shipping product. And when someone like that is directing a product, there’s soul in it. When you pick it up, you can see the thought that went into each and every part of it. You can feel their work. And that’s worth buying.

Kyle nails it on this blog post in response to Aaron Mahnke’s post. You can’t be average anymore. If you want to be employed through recessions and ups and downs you have to go above and beyond. The 9 to 5 job that you show up, punch in, do your task, and leave is dead, and this is for the better.
My primary concern with this is that you can’t train people to be passionate - a college degree won’t get you that.
