Cool video (and interesting marketing)

I forget if it was actually on this website that I saw/came across this video, if I did, figured I'd repost it anyways, because it is pretty cool.

Basically, in 2003 he made a silly 'little' video, posted it on YouTube. It became popular, Stride gum then picked it up, and paid him to go on an around the world tour a few times, to make similar videos. Basically an average Joe, who got to have a lot of fun, and have someone else pay for it

So remember to have fun when you are working, and remember why you are working hard. You aren't working to make 'money' so you can have a stack of paper in your wallet. You need to use it, and enjoy the ride (easier said than done sometimes, I know, though). Here is the video, and his website afterwards:

    Initially I thought "who is this idiot?" - But then as the video progressed, I thought, "Gee, this is cool... and it's only a guy dancing!". But he was having fun and was consistent in his efforts. And he encouraged others to have fun too. The son was a perfect choice for the video too. I applaud his efforts and found it inspiring.

    I think this is a truly awesome video myself. This man is having a great time just being silly, in the process of having a great time he managed to draw enough attention to get to travel around the world and see some of the most amazing things!

    Yep, it would definitely be very cool to get paid to do something like that, and have a lot of fun while doing it
