« How to Avoid Information Overload and Find Inspiration Online - Fabian Pfortmüller »

In Chapter 5 of 19 in his 2011 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, community builder and entrepreneur Fabian Pfortmüller talks about how he finds inspiration by pursuing information beyond the obvious.  He finds it easy to quickly get overloaded with general information - too many tabs - and too little knowledge gained.  As a result, he pushes himself to go beyond general news and information consumption and find more challenging content and story.  Pfortmüller is co-founder of Sandbox Network (www.sandbox-network.com).  He also co-founded an innovation think tank, Incubaker (www.incubaker.com), and is part of the group's first spin-off, Holstee (www.holstee.com), an apparel brand for people who would like to wear their passion.  Pfortmüller graduated from Columbia University and its School of General Studies.
