I’m going to start trying to do Twitter editions of “Follow Friday”. I’ve never really done it before cause no one ever explains on Twitter WHY you should follow someone. That’s always bothered me so I figured I would do my part in explaining. I’ll start with Inspiration. In the future I’ll do Haiti, Music, Writers, Help-Portrait, Informative, Photographers, etc. etc…
I also want to ask. Who inspires you on Twitter and why? Leave a comment below and I’ll be sure to follow…
Bob Goff - He’s a hero to many. Donald Miller writes about him all the time. When I’m around Bob, I just shut up and listen and soak as much as I can in. Last time I saw him, he was talking about how he wants to start writing hand letters to his grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on. “Imagine how that would feel to receive a letter from your Great Grandfather” he said. He also documents every memory. He says if you don’t write it down, it’s as if it didn’t exist at all.
Donald Miller – His blog and books are endless inspiration for me. I read his latest book on one sitting and cried and laughed my way through the whole thing. He’s a good friend but let’s be honest… I’m a big, starstruck fan of his.
Shaun King – He’s relentless in his passion for people and has literally had a profound impact in Haiti through social media. I’ve never seen someone change the world through Twitter like Shaun has.
Seth Godin – I know, I know, old news. I just jumped on the Seth train in the last 2 weeks and I see now why he’s such a big deal. His books will revolutionize the way you do business.
Mike Foster – Mike is an idea guy/world changer through and through. I’m constantly motivated and challenged by all the cool projects he heads up. He founded the Junky Car Club, People of the Second Chance, Plain Joe Studios, and about 18 other cool projects.

In it I talk about taking chances with my life, with my photography and moving to Nashville and Donald's newest book, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" plays a part in it and all the coincidences/little puzzle pieces of my life as of late. Thanks for posting this and I will definitely check out the other people as well!

Sure, they aren't names that everyone knows. But they are real people with incredible talent. And they are men of faith. As a young designer and fellow Christian, this is beyond inspiring to me. And you know what? It's the same reason that drew me to you, Jeremy, in the first place.
