You have many choices in life. Here are two. You can watch the video first then read the article or you can read the article then watch the video. Does it matter? Of course it does. But you won’t know until you do it.
Amanda Key’s drum/opera recital
I’ve known Amanda Key for years. She is tremendously talented at the drums and opera. Top it off with the fact that she is beautiful and you’ve got a winning combination.
As I’m reading Purple Cow I find myself looking everywhere and at everything trying to determine if there are Purple Cows hidden amongst my world.
Certainly, I see a few ideas, businesses, people, and other things that have that potential. But most of them don’t live up to it do they? How often do we truly come across something that is remarkable?
I see Amanda’s talents as remarkable. They are marketable as well. In fact, I have very little doubt that Amanda Key will find a great career in the entertainment industry. Whether she’ll be playing drums for a great band or on stage in operatic garb, well… that remains to be seen.
Her voice is fantastic. Her drum skills are exquisite. Her looks could kill.
The video is not a stellar recording, but I feel you still get that hint of greatness from the person on stage. When that kind of talent transcends the quality of the output device, then you know you’ve got something.
But will enough people see it? More importantly, will the right people see it?
I know way too many creative professionals who’s talents transcend their output device. Will the right people ever see them?
I wonder if Seth Godin thinks Amanda Key has the potential to be a Purple Cow.
