Build Your Own Industry

Think beyond the app store, think beyond Spotify, think beyond YouTube, think beyond Facebook/Instagram; think beyond all these platforms and industries.

It seems the secret to epic success in life:

Build your own industry!

To think bigger:

  1. Steam inventing their game store as a platform
  2. Dr. Dre/NWA pioneering the “gangsta rap” genre/industry
  3. Steve Jobs innovating the whole “app store” economy/industry

Just wonder to yourself:

What kind of new economies and industries are waiting to to be built, which haven’t been built yet?

I’m building arsbeta.com — a new creative industry/economy for photographers and visual artists.

I’m also building a new industry; visual artistry, philosophy, and entrepreneurship all in one. I’m starting with workshops, books, and products via HAPTIC INDUSTRIES with Cindy, but perhaps I can expand this wider!

Build your crazy/epic vision

Life is short. Why live it boring?

Shoot for the moon//attempt epic shit. Why not? What do you got to lose? Nothing, and we got everything to gain.

Never striving for more!
