The Shiny Heart Ventures team was out in full force at the Creativity in Business Conference this past Sunday in Washington, D.C. asking attendees what they were ThankfulFor. Creativity is so important in business so it was great to devote a day surrounded by such forward thinkers. Here’s how Michelle James, the event founder and producer, describes the conference:

Creativity is the capital of the new economy. Join creativity thought leaders, pioneering entrepreneurs and business innovators – in the fields of applied creativity and innovation, organizational change and development, social media and  leadership – from around the country for a full-day event focused on:

• Harnessing and focusing individual, group and organizational creativity
• Organizational structures/business models conducive for creativity and innovation
• The integration of creativity, purpose, business and serving the greater good

It was a powerful event with a smart, creative and determined group of people in attendance. We’re thrilled we could be a part of it and create this fun video montage capturing the spirit of the day.

Shiny Heart Spotting: On Beach at Fortunes Rocks Tidal Pool

A few months ago, Frank started noticing hearts in random places which he dubbed “hearts in the wild”.  First it was the back of a chair at a NYC cafe, then a wine bottle, then fireworks – and it continued on. Since then, it’s become a game for us to be out, spot a heart, snap a pic with our phones and then send to Flickr/Twitter as a “Shiny Heart Spotting”.  A couple people have jumped in, sharing their pics with us (the heart shaped clouds were the best) and now we’d love for more people to join in the fun. To send us your own heart spotting, Tweet us at @shinyheart or upload to Flickr and tag it with “ShinyHeartSpotting“.  Here are a few of our favorites so far. Be sure to follow Shiny Heart Ventures on Twitter, Facebook or AIM to get the latest spottings and product updates!
