JAM Furniture from Reclaimed Wood

Short video about Ben Cramp and his path to making furniture from reclaimed lumber under the name JAM Furniture.

What resonated with me is that he talks about how he enjoyed industrial design, but realized that the future of that, were he to stay in that industry, would be behind a desk.  By shifting to his own work, he can do the design and the building which he finds more fulfilling.

Which active is your business when it comes to People with Disabilities?

How does your business serve individuals with disabilities as customers or employees?

Inactive: We never have anyone with a disability, so it's not an issue.

Reactive: We respond when we're asked for something.   It's generally a scramble, but we get the information and haven't been sued.

Proactive: We ensure that we consider issues of disability and accessibility in our business decisions.  Our business location and materials are accessible for people with disabilities.  We prominently display how individuals with disabilities can receive assistance and our staff are trained on how to help.

Tough Unique Approach to Cancer Research

Here's a tough, direct approach to cancer from Race for Life a UK based charity which raises money for cancer research.

Aside from the singular focus on women's cancer, I really like the attitude change.  It's one which my cousin, who died at age 25 from breast cancer, would have loved.

The first video gives an overview, while the other two are the actual advertisements which aired in the UK.
