Learning To Stand On Our Own

Friday, January 15, 2010

Please Feed The Animals made a new business presentation last week.
We didn’t have anybody with a British accent talking about psychographics. There weren’t teams of leaders responsible for different sections of the deck. And I couldn’t turn to a boss to bail me out of the rocky bits.

Friday, January 1, 2010

It’s New Years Eve. Instead of getting my champagne on, I opted to stay in for a quiet night of reflection. We put the kids down early, and now I just want to be with my wife (who is sitting right here next to me), my thoughts, and a glass of Malbec.
Thanks to the numerous [...]

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

This Saturday in San Francisco, I’ll be part of a “panel of career professionals who will provide practical tips, advice, tools and some useful forecasts for navigating the new creative marketplace.”

A Cast Of Experts And Me On The BeanCast

Monday, October 5, 2009

I somehow got invited to sit on the BeanCast panel with Spike Jones (Brains On Fire), Bill Green (Make the Logo Bigger), and George Parker (AdScam). In between barbs about Parker’s Kindle, I think I got in a few coherant points.
Listen on the web here. Get the podcast here.

Daily Scheduled Columns & Events

Monday, August 31, 2009

As with most advertising creatives, committing to a regular schedule does not come naturally to me. So what I’m about to commit to feels a little funny. (Then again, entrepreneurism in general feels unnatural, so why stay in my comfort zone now? )
