Get Shouty

David Armano, Ann Handley, Greg Verdino, Gary Vaynerchuck, Ian Lyons, Tim Longhurst, John Grant, Russell Davies, Leigh Himel, Stephen Fry, Angela Maiers, Tara Hunt … I can go on.

Kevin Kelly, Lawrence Lessig, Nicholas Carr, Danah Boyd, Chris Anderson

Who my clients would find inspiring:
Jeremiah Owyang, Craig Cmehill, Doc Searls, Dave Weinberger, Edward De Bono, Sam Lawrence, Mark Earls, Ross Mayfield, Charlene Li

Mark Pesce – best evangelist I’ve seen for the future of online media
Stephen Fry – as above, nuff said
Trent Reznor – for his leaps forward in online music distribution models

Shaun Gladwell, Australian video artist and one of our artists for the 2007 Venice Biennale or Bill Viola, legendary pioneer in video art

This is a talented list. I would also add Mitch Joel who is a social media guru in Canada.

Clay Shirky, Michael Wesch, Jeremiah Owyang, Internationally, in no particular order I’d have Charlene Li, Ann Handley, Chris Brogan, Mark Pesce, Tara Hunt, Chris Messina, Tony Hsieh (Zappos), Jason Goldberg (socialmedian), David Weinberger, Doc Searls, Sam Lawrence (Jive), Ross Mayfield, Aaron Strout, Rachel Happe, Laura Fitton (Pistachio), Greg Verdino, Luis Suarez (IBM)

There seems to be a dearth of Aussies… which is disappointing. The community here is incredibly inspiring but the state of the market makes them fairly invisible. So, for Aussies I’d have Laurel Papworth, Mick Liubinskas, Chris Saad, Gavin Heaton. There are a bunch of others that are equally inspiring in their specialisations.

I’d love someone to say I inspired them.

Gavin Heaton, Laurel Papworth, Chris Brogan, David Armano, Faris Yakob, Jeremiah Owyang

oops, i meant Steven Berlin Johnson. i’ll add etsy founder Rob Kalin. I’m not sure about his speaking but his approach to his business is inspiring in its own way. cheers.
