Just a quick programming note here at Big in Japan.  Jake McKee has been with the company as Lead Samurai for almost a year.  He has been deeply involved with almost every project since joining Big in Japan and has made a huge impact on our business.  Starting this week, Jake’s role within Big in Japan will be significantly scaled back allowing him to focus on his own speaking and writing efforts outside of the company.  Jake will continue his work managing and supporting both the LEGO and TechData accounts for Big in Japan.  Scott Bauer will take over his role with our other clients.  We wish Jake the best of luck on his book and encourage anyone looking for a great speaker to give him a call!

Seth Godin compiled and updated entries from his blog in a book titled, Small is the New Big.  Jake got an advanced copy and said it was worth reading (he is a third of the way through).  Some of the content was a little out of date, but generally it was some great stuff.  Check it out.
