Well, I am one jealous guy. I met up with John WInsor in Boulder, CO last Sat for a proper mountain bike ride in the 93 F heat 7500 ft up in the Flatirons above the town. John had obviously been up there a few times before as he whizzed around the trail whilst I spent more time pushing my crappy hire bike up hill over various rocks and tree stumps. There were some superb technical downhills though with tight bends and berms.
Anyway, when I was able to breathe again, we had some great conversation across a wide range of themes including (of course) co-creation, families, reason / emotion, outcome-driven innovation, skunks and the invention of the bicycle.
Why I am envious? Boulder is a great place, with lots of interesting people, superb bars, restaurants and shops not to mention some of the best mtb trials in the world and national parks on the doorstep, plus thriving college music scene and culture.
John is posting more perceptive stuff on co-creation and picking up on the debate co-creation vs co-marketing vs co-production etc. Also, this man has four big climbing walls in his garage. Impressive!
I've heard that about his garage.
