<a href="http://www.bigmethod.com/blog/4-years-ago-today-the-video-upload-that-accidentally-launched-an-agency/">A great story by John Furnari</a> about how this video, in a way, changed his life.

<blockquote>It was a short run that would never have worked out. I didn’t want to be a cog in the machine.  At the time I simply wanted to bring fresh ideas to the table and use them to support something I loved. So I cold-emailed their management (and now dear friends of mine) of a my favorite unknown band back east. The message included “at the moment, I don’t think there is another artist coming up that gets me more excited or that I have more confidence in the future success of. Which is why I’d love to discuss with you what I can do to lend a hand.”</blockquote>

Read the fascinating story of connections and opportunities. Of course, as modest as John can be, he left a few things out. 

<ol>
<li>John and bigMETHOD are incredibly talented, resourceful and hardworking. Making something appear to be simply serendipitous is a sign that there's plenty of talent in the background.</li>
<li>One of those music bloggers John reached out to "back in the day" was, well, me.</li>
<li>You might think you know the results of that outreach. Well, you know part of it. There's plenty more - and that's pretty cool.</li>
</ol>

Thanks John - looking back on it maybe all I can say is "Wow" as well.
