Scott Goldman Thinking Space



What is your current profession and how did you choose your career path?
I'm the founder and creative director of SCOGO Media - Digital Marketing Agency. Before I founded "Into Graphics". It was born when I was 25 years old, in College. Print was my vocation in High School.
I loved to feel and touch the texture and thinking about my future, sure, I wanted to have my time rules. Love for print + self management time rules = my Agency.
The starting point....sure when I found the right person to do it with!




Where did you grow up? How did it influence who you are today?
I grow up in Yonkers, New York. I run away and I moved to Manhattan as soon as I could. Now I'm really a product of this City, absorbing all inputs from all different cultures of the great metropolitan area, running always as all people are running and in the meanwhile growing my personal "sanctuary" where sometimes I take a breath: my family

What are you passionate about, outside of work?
Family and friends, meals and wines! hard to define what comes first…the best is when these all come together!

What was the last thing that made you laugh?
I'm not sure  ...I make a point to laugh every day. I have a great ironical mood to face life and work.

Why have you chosen this as your thinking space?
My window faces 57 street in New York City, the high and clouds reflecting buildings of Manhattan inspires me. In my office I can find the just disorder that I need to put order in my mind! Anyway, the ideas come up with me in every moment of the day and  in very different places, particularly when I'm driving in NY, people usually go mad, instead I find it as a great inspirational source.
MY THINKING SPACE


Can you tell us about the different objects featured in your Thinking Space: what is the story behind each object? Is it of unique significance to you? What does it tell us about you? How would you feel if it went missing?
My photo is a composit of different clicks. You need different perspectives to think.
My office is full of things as designs of my children, papers, coffee cups...and also a tequila bottle...and a copy of Crain's.

The thing that people notice first is the painting of the woman, everyone thinking she is my wife but she's not. She is a totally unknown woman, the painting was a present and I'm really fond of it
 
The thing I love more is my elephant toy, my daughter gave it to me...because it's a strong animal with an extraordinary memory, and I look at it inspire myself.
Do you have any favourite blogs or other websites that you check out regularly?
I have a long list in my reader ..I don't know, probably mashable is the best directory-blog and TED sure.. and I love www.helpareporter.com
Do you have your own Spotify playlist or any other playlist? Who are your favourite artists, soundtracks?
Big band music, sure. The best artist for me is Frank Sinatra
