I’m sticking up for Jar Jar Binks
As a loyal fan of Star Wars, I may regret typing this, but it has to be said: I think that Jar Jar Binks was actually good for something! I was listening to an interview that George Lucas did, and he was asked about the tremendous amount of hate he got from fans over...
How to avoid an awkward Thanksgiving dinner this year
I read an article recently about families and friendships being split up over the US Presidential election. One Democrat got into it with his Republican uncle about Donald Trump, and it spilled over into a huge fight amongst 2300 of his Facebook friends. Regardless of...
Learning a thing or two from The Duke
I just finished reading a book, American Titan, about the life and career of Hollywood legend John Wayne. (I'm on a bit of a biography kick at the moment) John Wayne was in nearly 250 (no typo) movies, and came to be one of the most recognizable stars in the world....
Interview on Down and Dirty
I sat down with Scott Doucet and Kim Boudreau Smith to dish the dirt on "cheaples" (people who want everything free or for peanuts!). Here's the link to listen in: http://www.spreaker.com/user/boldradiostation/no-power-to-the-cheaple
R.I.P. Blab
I got word a few days ago that the live-streaming app, Blab, is being shut down. It was a bit of a bummer, since I used it fairly regularly and a number of my clients had been starting to use it to get their messages out into the world. But I can't say that I was...

Holy group coaching program, Batman!
It was just announced that Adam West and Burt Ward are reprising their roles of Batman and Robin in a new animated movie, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. A lot of people think of their 1960's Batman series as being campy and corny (it was,) and they prefer the...
If Usain Bolt created an online program, he’d use this
Usain Bolt just won his 3rd gold medal for the 100m dash at the Olympic Games in Rio. There's a pretty cool picture of him smiling at his competitors as he crossed the finish line. We all know that Usain Bolt is fast. But one thing that is usually the opposite (and...
Interview on Navigating the Customer Experience
I was just interviewed on Yanique Grant's Navigating the Customer Experience, where we talked about customer service in ways that you're not used to hearing about it. Here's the link to listen!
