Event: Sam Adams’ Crowd-Sourced Craft Beer Release, March 10 at The Guy + Girl Party at South by Southwest
The brewmasters at Samuel Adams not only love beer, they love a good idea. In 2011, they proved it by establishing their entrepreneurial program Brewing the American Dream, as good ideas and good beer often share similar spaces. Now, the Samuel Adams brewers have teamed up with social-media enthusiast Guy Kawasaki to create the first-ever crowd-sourced beer. They called on social-media followers to weigh in on aspects of a beer, from color and clarity to the flavor profile. This crowdcrafted beer will debut at Kawasaki’s Girl + Guy party on March 10 during a well-known annual interactive festival. Combining social media and drinking, how American.

Book: Entrepreneurial DNA, By Joe Abraham
For centuries, the mindset for entrepreneurs has been, “If it worked for one entrepreneur, it will work for every entrepreneur. After all, entrepreneurs are all the same.” But are they? Sure, we can intuitively deduce that not everyone is a Richard Branson or a Donald Trump, and not everyone innovates like the late Steve Jobs, but is there more to it than meets the eye? Entrepreneurial DNA proves there are massive implications to how each individual is wired as an entrepreneur. It shatters the archaic notion that one size fits all and allows each reader to discover his or her unique DNA. The book has met ecstatic critical acclaim for its proven techniques that help readers maximize their personal and business potential.
