Come On, Man! The Climate Change Hotel Conspiracy
I once had my own conspiracy theory. I believed that, no matter what temperature you set on the hotel room thermostat, it didn't have an impact. Then one day when the thermostat was broken—unlighted—the engineer fixed it and I told him
Come On, Man: The Return of the Wandering Buyers
If you believe the ridiculous canard that no buyers are around for sales potential over the summer (here in the Northern Hemisphere) then I guess you're really gearing up to be aggressive again in the next month, right? And certainly
Come on, Man: Physician, Heal the Shysters
If you can "increase any business by a million dollars" or "help find a thousand new, qualified prospects" or "meet qualified buyers and convert them immediately" (or "flip houses without investing a cent") would you really have to promote yourself

Iceberg Dead Ahead
Thinking that you can create multi-year strategies today—after the pandemic, turmoil, chaos, volatility, and disruption—is equivalent to thinking that people are going back to ocean liners as the main transportation across the Atlantic. Even if you reduced that trip from
And the Award for Most Boring Evening Goes to….
The "best" talent in Hollywood and in TV create a dreadful, boring, pandering Oscar awards ceremony every single year. The ratings have plummeted over the past several years. It's actually laughable. Don't ever think you can't help a client because they're
