  • A logo is not a brand

    There. I said it. I’m not the only one who’s said this over the decades, but it seriously bears repeating. I’ve been talking a bit in my recent emails about the power of a strong brand. Strong brands have the power to influence, excite, disrupt, and move the masses. Millions of people can be swayed…

  • Remember Who You Are

    I’ve been looking for reminders lately. Things that remind me who I really am… who I really WANT to be in the world. That happens sometimes when you start questioning everything.

  • Announcing: The Cash Flow Creator Workshop Registration Is OPEN!

    For years, I’ve held connection calls where I hop on zoom for 20-30 minutes to get to know a new networking connection. Invariably, a business question pops up and most of the time I can spot a solution to their issue before the end of the call. In many of these cases, I was able…
