Inspiration Comes in Many Forms

Once a year, I go to the World BBQ Championship at Memphis in May

It's three days of friends, food, fun, and bad puns (like #AporkalypseNow and  #MeatDrinkAndBeMerry).

You've heard the phrase  "Put your money where your mouth is …"  This year we sponsored a tent and brought some of the Capitalogix team to enjoy the festivities.

Here's a look at what was cooking in our tent.  It had a Brazilian "churrasco" flair.

Our Grill Master was Blake Carson, who took a traditional Brazilian Steakhouse cooking style – and innovated upon it – creating the Carson Rodizio kit (which started as a Kickstarter project).  

It is a multi-rotisserie rack that converts your favorite backyard grill into an open and spinning Brazilian style Steakhouse.  It's clever, functional, and cool … and it's been used to win multiple barbecue championships.

I love to experience an entrepreneur's mind at work.  

It's not always about what you add.  Sometimes, it is about what you take away.  Less is often more. 

Here is a one-minute interview I shot with Blake last year.

Innovation, like opportunity, is all around you.

But it's not there for you if you don't see the opportunity, and seize it.
