		My projects and I have been in The New York Times,  Wall Street Journal, Wired, Rolling Stone, <!-- limited by space: Fortune, NY Post, Business 2.0, The Boston Globe, -->  on MTV, CNN, BBC, NPR, the CBS Early Show, and NBC's Today Show.

	<p>I occasionally <strong>advise</strong> & <strong>invest in</strong> startups and <strong>coach</strong> founders.</p>

<p class="secondary-block in-the-past" style="display:none;"><small>
	Before THAT, I was an entrepreneur. I started <strong><a href="http://photojojo.com/">Photojojo</a></strong>, the world's most fun photography store, where we created clever and joyful photography gear. I launched a worldwide coworking movement known as <a href="http://workatjelly.com/">Jelly</a>, helped <a href="http://sethgodin.com/">Seth Godin</a> start a non-profit, <!-- called ChangeThis--> organized <a href="http://www.barcamp.org/">unusual tech conferences</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/superamit/sets/444564/">camped overnight in Times Square</a>, <!-- started a co-op called House 2.0,--> lived in a commune, <a href="http://amzn.to/1G09D9J">published a book</a>, contributed to a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591841038/amitguptacom/ref%3Dnosim/002-1944971-4067235">WSJ best-seller</a> with Malcolm Gladwell <!--, Guy Kawasaki --> and others, dropped out of college <!-- at 19 --> to start a company called The Daily Jolt.
<br /><br />
I also <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=amit+gupta+leukemia&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8">survived leukemia</a> (thanks to the power of friends and the internet). Bizarrely, that led to a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPOsB9bnmO4">Toyota commercial with my dog.</a> Isn't life weird?
