This pitch was given by John Buckman, Founder of Magnatune at LeWeb Paris today and really hits home for me. It includes phenomenal lessons of starting up as well as great lessons for people looking for a job and deciding what type of work to get involved in. I’ve talked on Twitter and on this blog about how important it is for me to find a work environment that intersects passion and pocket book. I also believe that finding that is a continual path, not a destination.

There are a lot of slides but you can get through them in a few minutes and it’s well worth watching.

Awesome pitch! The contractor/project model is very interesting in these economic times. I like his point about not hiring anyone until the job they'll do is well understood by you. You want to be an owner, not everyone on the org chart - but you need to understand their jobs and go deep when you have to.

On another note, it's interesting that slides like this (one point per slide) seem to hit home with me more than the standard format - fewer slides with more info per slide. Do you feel the same way?
