Thanks for sharing John. If being a “digital” iconoclast mean doing something that others say can't be done and/or doing something that everyone says is impractical or too “big” for you to accomplish then I definitely am an iconoclast. As an entrepreneur I’ve learned that in the early stages of a idea/concept it is easy and “safe” for everyone to say it can’t be done. But as you execute it’s awesome to watch everyone come around. I’ve learned to be forgiving because most people oppose you not out of ill intent but out of their own insecurities which makes them cave to “social” pressure (got a great story of when I built a 2-story treehouse when I was 7 but it is a bit long for this post). I think as believer we should all believe we can and should rise above this pressure. If God is for you who can be against you? Love this post. Thanks for sharing John.

Digital is the new frontier, as you said. We have to utilize it or we go under. I strive for this, and I hope I can achieve it. Be strong and courageous... This is the goal.
