Sir Thomas Gresham was the Warren Buffett of the 16th Century.
Financial advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, he created the first notion of debt financing, which allowed Britain to build the largest navy in the world, and ultimately conquer one fourth of the planet.
While Gresham was introducing 20th Century notions of finance, the French were still taxing and paying based on current receipts. Â Within a decade, the British had built a Navy twice as large as the French, the former undisputed world power.
Gresham also developed Gresham’s Law, a basic concept of markets and money.
Blindingly brilliant, what does Sir Thomas Gresham have to teach us about the Internet today?

You continue to point in the right direction. Simple but powerful example. I am a student at NYVS and it is awesome. Video is the way we are going, and I am following as I lead.

Watch it Michael, once you experience it quality can be addictive, and once you understand it you will never turn back.

..but, Michael, if one is to have video on one’s web site it must be the best quality.
You need to have a crew with grip, lighting and sound. It must be shot with the highest dollar camera by one who has had years of education and training.
Right?
Or you could just use a Flip camera…

Watch this video all the way through and see how he compared the Canon hxh1 with the Flip camera. Pretty eye opening.
