Starbucks Wisdom @Starbucks
I don’t normally connect with the wisdom of the advertising at @Starbucks, but a few days ago, I came across this sign at Starbucks. I loved it. I guess I wasn’t expecting it, but then when I thought about it more, I realized the wisdom of it. Of course, if…

Dear Toyota @Toyota
Dear Toyota, I am a proud owner of a 99 Toyota 4Runner. I have 282,000 miles on my 4Runner. I love my truck, and I can’t believe how well it still runs and how easy it is to maintain. I am sure that you get stories like this all the…

Sharing in the Laughter
On a recent flight I experienced the most wonderful thing. It was early morning and I hadn’t finished my Starbucks coffee yet. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone – even though the lady next to me tried to engage in a conversation. I just fell asleep. For…

Emotional Work
I heard that phrase today. A girl that I was listening to was talking about the guys that she dates and how she is more attracted to guys that have done their emotional work. It stood out to me. The first question that I asked was – what does that…

Print Media
Are you still reading print media? My wife has a subscription to a magazine so we still get it. My father-in-law still gets the paper on the weekend. For the most part though, we consume media online. Whether it’s Twitter or the 30 minutes that you spend at work –…
