I recorded a special broadcast on Saturday after reading the NY Times op-ed "Don't Go Down The Rabbit Hole." As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. We should be engaged in more critical thinking and healthy skepticism, not less. If you missed...
[buzzsprout episode='7979929' player='true'] Special Saturday broadcast. 🛰️ On Thursday, the NY Times published an op-ed about critical thinking and internet disinformation. In this special episode, I discuss my thoughts. ✔️ Con artists, grifters, liars, manipulators, etc., have ALWAYS existed and they always will. I hate to be the bearer of bad...
[buzzsprout episode='7712404' player='true'] People who are out there selling based on a process are typically not making the kind of money they want to make. Do your clients care about your process or getting bogged down in minutia or having you explain every tiny detail to them? No. They...
I dunno about you but it seems to me like social media is becoming same 💩 different day. It's funny because when the self-appointed LinkedIn Police would post those super obnox comments about "LinkedIn is not Facebook" or "LinkedIn is for business only; don't post anything...

[buzzsprout episode='7418524' player='true'] The other day, I read a post on social media where some poor (and probably well-meaning) guy was writing the same ole, same ole attempt at differentiation marketing in staffing & recruiting. You know the drill: "All the other agencies suck. Let me...
Not sure about you, but my LI feed these days seems to be a lot of the same: I remember talking with Russ Johns about email marketing and the sea of spam we have now and he said, "Marketers ruin everything." It seems that way sometimes....
[buzzsprout episode='7403089' player='true'] In July of last year, I predicted that censorship was the wave of the future. Now here we are. So if you didn't heed my warnings last year, cockadoodledoo. 🐓 Here's your wake up call. Key topics: ✔️ I'll say it again: if most or all of...
