Declaring independence
Yesterday, was the July 4th, the day we celebrate independence in the states. So, what day will you celebrate yours? What is going to be the moment, your turning point, that you mark as the time you finally let yourself become free? I don’t mean when did you move out of your parents’ home or…

Finding new co-owners, sort of
It is a quick line in an HBR article. “Co-owners act differently than standard customers.” The point made is that in seeking to build community and create a two way street with your customer groups means giving up some control. You have to be willing to trust them. That is scary. Handing over the reigns…

The one thing to learn from Jake Paul
Confession, I spent quite a bit of time sucked into a YouTube time suck watching and analyzing Jake Paul’s entry into boxing. There were the prefight weigh-ins, the trash talk sessions, and of course the fights and commentary. And now that he is (probably still) set to fight Mike Tyson, I gotta say I look…

You wanna smell like Jake Paul?
To say that Jake Paul made his foray into boxing would be under-descriptive. He has gone after the pursuit, wholeheartedly, if not brashly.
