What do you do when you feel stuck?

Between 2000 and 2007 that is the exact question that this consultancy answered for upstart media and technology concerns. The same question that I contemplated when I was working at a national non-profit focusing on the development of unique opportunities for urban entrepreneurs.

And today, it is still there as I focus on securing my next adventure (gig) in the converging entertainment/media/mobile landscape.
