It’s surely been a hot word in our vernacular for some time now as we allude to the “disruptors” as we’ve known them; The Silicon Valley type like FaceBook, Twitter, Snapchat etc. Or the technical type like Apple and Nest and Ring, or the transportation type like Uber and Lift, or the communication type like […]
Sounds like I’m teeing up a bad joke or movie right? But nothing could be further from the truth. These past couple of weeks have seen the impact of the threat of a spreading disease wreak havoc on our financial well-being. It’s also prompted a plethora of prognosticators to preach their picture of what the
Of course we would enter the decade with a hot new term, in this case one word in its’ various and multiple iterations. There are likely others but the one that is resonating with me recently is “Connecting”. “Connections”. “Connectivity”. “Connectionopolis”. (Yes. Really. It’s in a printed periodical.) It seems I’m reading about the description
As a 35 year radio veteran, now turned marketing and podcast production company owner, I have some thoughts on this. Tall towers in big fields have a shelf life. (They’re already on borrowed time.) The recording label industry was all but deemed dead with the advent of the internet and streaming services and look at

It is all that. After a look on line for the best reviews of the various operators and times available we chose the Wendella cruise on the
I’m remiss. Put it off again for whatever reason. Excuse: too busy to get to it. Enough already. You do the same? Important things that are big deals and you don’t get to them in a timely manner? Really irritating and I want to kick myself when I do it. This one is a big
“A new direction. Don’t be a no-thing company.” Most of us have an aggressive interest in growth for our business but it’s not so easy. Like you, we’re experiencing the dynamic nature of change in everything we do. What was isn’t any longer, what used to work, doesn’t any more, what we did before, we
So I recently had the opportunity to watch a very brief interview with one Paul Pagnato of Pagnato-Karp Financial Advisors. He made some very good points in that he addressed his firm’s perspective on their “WHY”. In other words, their purpose. It always amazes me when employees of a company or business, worse yet a
I recently spent a long weekend with my 87 year old father. Probably not your typical, or maybe he is, 87 year old. Pretty decent health, at least that I can tell. And since he won’t go to the doctor, visual observation is about all you get. Speaking of visual, you sort of check his
