The bye weekend for the NFL was taken over by the Olympics, the NHL All-Star Game, and NASCAR’s latest forward-thinking event (at the LA Coliseum), but for those with a jones for football you had the Pro Bowl…and the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Two events that maybe the casual fan would not ordinarily dial in to, …
GUEST POST: As we have done from time to time, we have featured some great storytelling and best practices from guest writers. Here is a good one all Giannis from Scott Trick.

It was really a simple ask. Pick people who are big thinkers and doers and ask them a simple question. Who are you following in this coming year who may be a little below the radar, but are innovative, have shown grit and have the ability to think a little differently. We asked 40 people …
