DISQUS

I've saw that his little phone experiment was something HUGE after all. Every new website wrote about this, and it was very viral.

I would like to know Jim what can you say about the psychology behind this. And why people were so interested in this story.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Well, I think there's two factors here. Number one, why the media likes it, and number two, why the rest of us like it.

The media like stories about real people, doing real things. You know how many sales pitches they get a day? They try to weed through those and find the real, to give to us.

As for non-media people, I think we all like to see people "fall into success". It's interesting to see how accidents or crazy ideas can blossom, because it gives us all hope that maybe it will happen to us.

That is the major difference between entrepreneurs and regular folks. Those that try, and those that don't. Most of us wont' try, but love to hear about people that did.
