EDIT: Here's where you can see my completed AMA.
Wut.
I'm doing an AMA on Reddit this Thursday February 5 11am Pacific, 2pm Eastern.
AMA stands for "Ask Me Anything", an interview where everyone can participate.
Come ask me some questions?
My topic is "What's so wrong about being Selfish?" and in true AMA fashion, that's just a starting point for what we'll be talking about. I'll be joined by Brock McLaughlin, manager of the Luke Austin Band and a Canadian Selfish brand ambassador who racks up karma points with his obsession of dressing up his pug Sidney Vicious, and Selfish's iOS project manager Marat Kinyabulatov checking in from the Ural Mountains.
Here's one of my favorite questions from the day: "Do you think the name "Selfish" might turn people off from joining the network?"
My answer:
"Yes, it's a hurdle because our associations with the word are so one-sided. Since childhood we've been admonished "don't be selfish." When someone's breaking up with us, we dread hearing the reason "you're selfish." But we have to put the oxygen mask on ourselves before we can help anyone else, right? And there's also a growing trend that we need to take care of ourselves, and nourish what we care about.
