Friday is National Popcorn Day across America, with many of the major brands in comfort snacks staging promotions, from education programs in the media for the health of the snack to giveaways by brands like Popcorn, Indiana on the streets of New York and Los Angeles. Movie chains ran online couponing for discounts for those attending films …
As we get deeper into the start of the year, we highlight three recent listens of note from our just completed eighth year of the CUSP Show, which I continue to host with Tom Richardson. You can listen to over 35o episodes here, but these three recent ones cover the growth of sports using Artificial …
Friday night at the Anaheim Convention Center we were waiting for the first group of potential draftees to arrive for the red carpet for going to their seats, and hopefully, having their name called on stage by commissioner Jessica Berman. The first to arrive on the carpet was a little nervous but very excited about …
Daytona is still in the distance, Indy Car us getting ready for its season, Formula E is finding its eco and tech friendly spot, and Formula 1 has become the cause celebre in North America with new, young, engaged roots.

What a year…AGAIN!. Still we have time for reflection and nostalgia, and while I am a big believer of taking a pause, year round really, and figuring what got done and what could be done differently personally and professionally, I am not a big one on lists of the past or for that matter, predictions of …
“Do you have a card?” is still one of the questions that comes up after the first initial business encounter.
