Dr. Seuss had a way of putting things just so. He said, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” He was absolutely right.

The great thing about being a workshifter is that I’m unencumbered by the formal trappings of the corporate office. Well, I don’t actually have a corporate office, but you get the idea. The downside, of course, is that I don’t have the infrastructure either. And phone lines never go down and hard drives never crash [...]

In social media we understand and accept the principles of sharing, engaging and being open to serendipity. We benefit from engaging and sharing information with people online to form new friendships and working relationships. But how often do we ignore these same social media principles in “real life”? How many times do we sit in [...]
So much advice is being disseminated I thought it would be worthwhile to talk about lessons learned from the inside. We were experimenting around with social media in late 2008. To be honest, we were just tinkering with Twitter. We noticed that people were having conversations about our brand and we wanted to get in [...]
Business Week did a fascinating story about the effect of the real estate market on unemployment and economic recovery. Twenty-three percent of all mortgagees owe more than their house is worth. In Nevada, a whopping 65% of property owners are upside-down with their mortgage. According to the article, that together with a depressed housing market, the [...]
