SPORTS PUBLICITY, MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING IN A NEW AGE: WITH JOE FAVORITO
If you work in and around communications in sports in North America, this is a week you should hopefully love, but you may hate. The convergence of winter team sports tied with mega events like The Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics make this a mad scramble for those looking to cut through clutter and …
It’s great to have convergence at a time of year when we are all looking ahead to brighter, longer days as we shake off the cold and the gloom. It’s also nice when two of those events crossover. Today is Groundhog Day, and yes the critter in Pennsylvania saw his shadow…so six more weeks of …
I was futzing around my basement earlier this week and came across a postal scale and some fishing weights, which had nothing to do with mailing packages or catching bass. They were key elements in a Scouting tradition which we enjoyed back in the day, carefully balancing, weighing and finding ways to get a slight …
A while ago Dr. Harvey Schiller was talking about how the most successful business grow. The people at the top do drive culture and results, but sometimes even more important was the ability to be selfless and let the success speak for itself.

I went to an early mass at our parish, St. John the Baptist in Hillsdale, NJ, and I am always interested and intrigued to what our pastor, Monsignor Peter Smutelovic, has in store for his homily.

Tossing Teddy’s continue to be a fun, and somewhat underappreciated event. From The Maritimes to California, a hockey holiday rite of charity has continued to expand to record numbers for those who see the value. Now it used to be only in Detroit could you throw an object on the ice during a hockey game …
Just some quick notes on the week…actually 10 days…that was as we work through MLK Weekend. My buddy Dave Siroty and I squeezed a heck of a lot of learnings into what was essentially a three mile radius of Upper Manhattan on Saturday, but before that, I should mention that our idea for our Saturday …
A few years ago we had former Eagles star Brian Dawkins join us on the podcast where he talked about the importance of “Mental Wellness” and the things he did to try and deescalate situations while making sure that he was able to improve and deal with the issues we all face. I thought about …
We were lucky to have James Gumina as our intern last summer, he checked in before heading back to Yale for his spring semester… This fall I returned to campus for my junior year at Yale. I had an engaging semester in the classroom, with classes on American history, entrepreneurship, and leadership, but the biggest …
