I worked hard to cut down on content, although I do understand your point. White space is always valuable.

Each page has so much going on that I'm fighting to stay on the content that you want us too. I'd rather it be a 30 page pdf with less content on each page, then a 4 page one with TONS of info to sort through. Just a thought...

Be inspired to be exceptional--the frustrating part... getting from above-average to amazing--it's so worthwhile! (Though seems doubtful at the time.) Glad you enjoyed it!

I saw Godin's announcement back in March, but I had neither the experience nor available time to apply, though I was very curious as to what sort of 4-page PDF files he might receive... If yours didn't win the internship, I can't even imagine what some of the others looked like. Still, congrats on joining in on a project with him... plus, you now have a very powerful tool for future project-seeking. Excellent work Jeff.

I'd say unfortunately, but it's turned out well... I'm involved with a project for Seth, and had other fascinating opportunities! There's only one paragraph on the last page that is specifically about Seth. I e-mailed other people who are world-shapers, and changed the paragraph to target them. Nope–didn’t get it.
