We are about to finish up a major client project at the end of June. It has been a good run, and while we are proud of the work we accomplished, it is time to move onto something new (like an editorial calendar for WordPress, ahem…). As we make this shift, I have been thinking a lot about how we ca Read More

With an endless array of choices, we should feel amazingly free. No matter what we might want, there is an option for us to fulfill it. The more choices we have, the better satisfied we should be because we can choose exactly what we want. This is not the case. More options, more choices, are restr Read More

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Think about that for a moment. The people you’re around the most influence how you think and how you behave. Their effect on you is subtle yet complete. Now think about Facebook, or Twitter. The friend who posts the most, or the c Read More

Ideas are a dime a dozen. It’s the execution that counts. How do you execute a new idea? How do you make the leap? It is not as easy as it sounds.

We shut down our largest web application – TodayLaunch. There was little fanfare and few tears. It was the Read More

Always backpedaling. Feels like you’re not getting anywhere. Project is stalled, things don’t get done, and you’ve never worked harder or been more tired in your life. It’s a complete trap, and you’re stuck firmly in its grip. How do you move forward when it seems you’re standing still? Stand still Read More

Learning to fly was one of the most challenging things I’ve done. First of all, there’s a gravity issue. Which leads to a fear issue. But mainly, I learned about the importance of staying on course. Because when you’re off course, sooner or later there will be a gas issue that feeds the gravity iss Read More

The other week I was in the conference room receiving one of the more common requests I hear: “make the logo bigger.” The client told me that their logo was the most important thing on the page. “Really?” I said, thinking, What about the giant image of your product? The thing that you actually want Read More

When it comes to our personal brand, communication is a tricky thing. Most people think it only pertains to what we say. What we don’t say is often overlooked. I have friends who can captivate a crowd of 3,000 people, but can’t return a phone call. Their compelling ability as a speaker is great, bu Read More
