Kyoto, Durban, COP17, and me

Nope. I did not go to Durban. No, I have not been to any of the global climate change confabs that have been held regularly since the earlier 1990's, seemingly to little actual tangible successes. With Canada now officially withdrawn from the Kyoto ... [Continue Reading]

Blogger’s Remorse? Get inspired by great copy

I have been busied out getting up to speed on several new business projects lately, and it has been many months since my last post.  Truth be told, I've been struggling with what I suspect is a wide ranging problem in these early social media days -- ... [Continue Reading]

Everyone needs heroes. Ray Anderson is one of mine.

I first came across Ray Anderson in the 2003 documentary "The Corporation". After having spent 25 years in business and just recently "hung out my shingle" as a free agent, sitting through "The Corporation" in early 2004 delivered my epiphany. In a ... [Continue Reading]

Fixing higher education

I read with interest a recent editorial in The Economist, titled "How to make college cheaper". It is an interesting read, and talks about a researcher's thought experiment around how to offer an education currently priced at $26,000 annually for the ... [Continue Reading]

Things to never say on the job

I came across this list of "10 things you should never say on the job" and I remembered my own painful little lesson about something you should never say. Figuring that the statute of limitations on saying stupid things is long over on this one (it ... [Continue Reading]

More intelligent food labeling

I've written some previous blog posts about how confusing (and generally useless to the lay person) food labeling is. My musings on the topic are found here and here... now, I've just stumbled across a very interesting design competition where the ... [Continue Reading]

Another supply chain contamination incident…

Just a few days ago, I blogged about the tainting of soft drinks through supply chain malfeasance here. I just came across this blog entry by Guardian writer George Monbiot which outlines the facts behind a very interesting -- and hard to trace -- ... [Continue Reading]

"I've read a lot of coaching sites - both for my own use and because of the the things I do in my spare time is coach entrepreneurs in how to get started, especially in the online world. ... I think you could help me quickly identify my skill set and give me the confidence I need to go out and sell myself. I am highly skilled when it comes to online marketing - but I think you have the ability to help me to see outside of my fears of failure and hopefully steer me to success. I don't need a counselor or a shrink - I need someone with a business attitude with their finger on the pulse of what works and what doesn't - and it seems like that was what you offered." - U.K.
