courtesy of oxandoak What do Robert Plant, Maya Angelou, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Diane Sawyer have in common…?…Aside from talent, what helps Snoop Dogg sell records and Andy Samberg sell his (sometimes off-kilter) ideas…?…why do we pay far too much money for a pair of jeans or (what may seem like) a simple hair cut…? Swagger. This is nothing [...]

Do You Get It?

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on July 11, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Say What?   One of the biggest gripes I have with people (myself included) is that we aren’t the best at…well, expressing ourselves clearly.  We’re pretty good at things like naming what TV shows we like, what kind of foods we prefer and what movie may have seen over the weekend.    But when it [...]

The Value of Fire Drills

Posted in Public Relations..., Social Media..., Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on April 13, 2011 | 1 Comment »

I remember the time I went through my first fire drill. I was finger painting in kindergarten and having a good ole time.  No doubt I was probably doing what I thought to be a rendition of Hong Kong Phooey or the Lone Ranger(both great heroes in their own right, in my humble opinion). I was so [...]

The Democracy of Metallica

Play that funky music I’ve said it before, but I’m gonna say it again: I’m a bit of a music freak. Anytime I can take some time away (be it in business or pleasure) to jam out to a good tune or two, I’m a happy camper. It could be Marvin Gaye, Rodrigo y Gabriela, [...]

Keep it Mental

As you may have read in a previous post, I recently completed a Triathlon…and although it was great to have actually completed this feat, it brought out more of my competitive spirit that had not been seen since I made All State in High School Soccer (yes…soccer).  One of my cohorts told me that if [...]

Three Cheers for Being Happy

Posted in Influence & Inspiration, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on March 23, 2011 | 7 Comments »

This morning, the ever-smart (and happy) Gini Dietrich Asks If Happiness is the Same As Being Dumb? It’s all based on a recent blog (Are Happy People Dumb?) from the folks at the Harvard Business Review.  And this all got me to thinking: What’s So Bad About Being Happy?! Don’t get me wrong – I can [...]

Stay Calm & Carry On

Waking up at 4:32 in the morning is never something I have planned.  In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find me waking up before 5am – ever.  Unless I’m taking a family member or a good friend to the airport, I’m not doing it. This past Sunday was an exception.  Not only was I expecting [...]

The Music of Communications

Music…Sweet Music. Whenever I think of chamber music, I think of Haydn, Beethoven or Mozart – beautiful stuff, but something I *really* have to be in the mood for.  Don’t get me wrong – their compositions have everything I look for in music: passion, depth and that element of surprise.  But you’ll be hard-pressed to [...]

 …I know it’s been awhile…I’ve been meaning to get to this…but I’ve been a little….busy these days…! “Whatever, dude…!…how hard is it…?…really…to put out the stuff you do…?” Well, it’s not that easy…at least not to me…some people like Mack Collier, Amber Naslund, Danny Brown, Shonali Burke, Jay Baer and Valeria Maltoni keep banging em’ out!  I [...]

Karma Catches Up With Everyone

Posted in Influence & Inspiration, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on October 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Project Runway has got to be one of the most fun and watchable shows on television right now.  Not only because the show puts designers in the throes of creating 1-3 looks within an obscenely short amount of time, but also because the producers have been incredibly smart about highlighting the drama that happens behind [...]
