My best friend’s wife (and my friend too) just passed away last night. She was too young to go and had 3 young kids. There will be no posts today. I just want to remind you…. You will only get one October 25, 2012 in your life. Don’t waste it. Don’t just focus on business […]

I went to the movies with my 3 sons a month or so ago and received an unexpected content marketing lesson. How? Here is what happened. We showed up early (a miracle!) and found our seats. As we waited for the movie, a “pre-show” program came on that National CineMedia produces called “FirstLook.” As […]
