Self-Aggrandizement: Double Duty

At least, I assume I must be. Because I have the bad habit of taking increasingly demanding leadership roles in any organization with which I get involved.

Take, for example, the gym, CrossFit NYC. As one of the four founders, my role was largely fiscal (bankrolling the first year of startup) and ceremonial (teaching a handful of classes each week). But, with some recent personnel drama, and the growing sense that CFNYC could actually be very, very big (given our explosive membership growth over the past few months), it seems I'm now stepping things up, and becoming Managing Director.

Which is on top of Cyan, and everything we're working on here. I haven't pimped Cyan's activities much of late, as after an over-slow 2007 I've been waiting for significant, concrete progress rather than vaporware to point to. But suffice it to say that we're making surprisingly big strides on a lot of fronts - from a five-film slate to a $200m film hedge fund - that should make 2008 a considerably more exciting year.

And by 'exciting', I mainly mean 'time consuming'. Two full time jobs, planning a wedding, heavy drinking. I think I'm going to have to go back to giving up sleeping and going to the bathroom to make it all fit.
