It looks like Scott and me are turning into commodities brokers. Well I say Scott and me but he does all the hard stuff. I do what I do. I meet people. I connect people. I know people who know people. I have ideas. So does Scott...but then he gets on the phone and does his magic and suddenly those connections are talking to each other and ideas are becoming deals.
At the moment these ideas look like closing a deal on jet fuel, another on a bunch of oil tankers, some gold and some diamonds. People keep offering us other stuff. And we keep making connections. It's a classic broker situation.
But better than that it's a celebration of teamwork. None of these deals could have come about if any one of us in the cloud were absent. Not only do we all bring different knowledge but we bring different skills and different attributes to the party. An HR trainer would have a field day. Belbin would have us under the microscope. We're a jigsaw puzzle made flesh.
Hopefully we'll be a solvent one too soon:-)
