Lessons From a Lego Guru

The other day, I received an email with a video of Nathan Sawaya, a former corporate lawyer who quit his job to focus exclusively on playing with Legos. Playing is quite an exaggeration ... Sawaya has his own website and creates amazing brick sculptures from a variety of businesses, nonprofits and celebrities. His work is on display at museums.

His talk ties in nicely with a blog from a couple of years ago that covered a talk from a high-ranking Lego executive at Wake Forest University.

Sawaya's talk is part of an 11-minute video that is well worth watching:
