Nearly every major “win” I’ve encountered at an online lead generation business has been “found” money. Win = something that will end up on the resume some day. Found = revenue generated with little to no new expense required. I’m sure there other vertical applications for this but it is especially true in lead gen [...]

Oh my, meat!

Just when I thought my friend couldn’t get any cooler, he rolls out a Web site all about meat. Meaten.com is all about why meat should be eaten. I don’t need to be told why meat should be eaten, I get it, a quarter pound at a time usually. But I still like to read [...]
Don’t get pulled down

Epiphany: Critics are often really just trying to pull you down to their lowly station. So if you’re working at a startup and your college buddies say you’re crazy not to take the cake job at a huge company where you won’t make a difference … or if you’re sneered at when you turn down [...]

I’m a disciple of Guy Kawasaki. But I’m not a click-my-heels, stand at attention kind of disciple. I read his blog 2-3 times week but I don’t own a Mac (Guy used to be the Chief Evangelist at Apple). I like that Guy focuses more on what makes sense than conventional wisdom. Cutting through the [...]

Donald Trump has a blog. If he can do it… I’m taking two weeks off to celebrate the birth of my first son Isaac. It’s a good time-passer in between diaper changes I’ve been inspired by my colleague’s blog YourHRGuy. I figure if I start blogging I’ll become as smart as he is. I won [...]
Mac = Democrats, PCs = Republicans

Democrats took the House and Senate. 28 Governors’ mansions are now in Dem control. As President Bush succinctly, completely, and in his own way, eloquently, stated, “(Republicans) took a thumpin’.” I’ve heard most experts, Republican and Dem alike, attribute this feat to a cycle of political history or that the President tanked so badly on [...]
