Another great week in and around our business. Some notes, listens, reads and thoughts catching our attention as we head towards November. It’s always interesting to see the things that pop up which can be rounded together as we hit the 30th men’s sports equinox as well. The value of PR…to Linus…With Halloween now here, …
I always learn something from Peter King’s FMIA column. So much so that it usually takes me three or four times to read and digest the pieces, it’s a big meal for a little brain like me. One of the thought starters this week was his feature on Andrew Luck’s college center at Stanford, Sam …
“Time is what we want the most and use the worst.” -William Penn Often we are asked what we do for money or what we just “do.” The newsletter, this website, our Podcast, LinkedIn, Twitter etc…does someone pay you for everything?

I can’t pretend to understand the complexities of the Israel-Gaza crisis going on, as I have not walked in the shoes of those on both sides of this growing humanitarian crisis. What I can do is to listen and learn and try and figure out the little things we can all do to better co-exist, …
