So, the movie has made the "10 things to do before I die" kind of list quite vogue. I actually think it's a great exercise and have found myself inspired several times as I've read other's lists. So here's mine:
1. Give away 90% of a year's income and live on 10%.
2. Create a holding company of local businesses that creates opportunities for young hungry entrepreneurs to become business owners.
3. Buy a small hole in the wall in the downtown of Portland as a get-away for Cara and I, family and friends.
4. Take our kids overseas for a 1 year sabbatical.
5. Create six-figure jobs.
6. Have coffee with Jim Sinegal, the founder and CEO of Costco Wholesale and get him to talk at SpeakerLunch.
7. Buy a motorcycle.
8. Learn a new language and put it to use making new friends.
9. Adopt children.
10. Become a full time, anonymous philanthropist.
11. Become mayor of a town I love to live in.
12. Speak before a crowd of thousands.
