The Genius of “Manly”..Old Spice Video Brilliance

I’m guessing the camaraderie of rugged sophistication that Chuck Norris and The Most interesting Man in the World share got a bit stale.   They need to add a third counterpart to firm up a mantastic trio….thus…we have the Old Spice Man.
The “Old Spice Man”…the wildly tallented and a bit obscure Isaiah Mustafa hit us with [...]

When Do You Know You’re an Entrepreneur?

As an “aspiring” entrepreneur I constantly asked myself,  “How do I know that I am an entrepreneur?”.  Being conditioned to “know” something is something through tangible and transitional reasoning I had no way of identifying myself as an entrepreneur.

Realizing that coffee is a short term fix for eye droopiness…I found a high powered recharge over the weekend.

A Journey of Uncertainty is Certain

Last Wednesday:  I Left my job at a social media agency.
Today:  I write my own paychecks (assuming that I can)
And I feel more alive then ever.
There is something thrilling about uncertainty.  Ask my two partners at ConvoSpark and myself about it.  We are now moving full force into a dualistic world of well known work [...]

It’s Good to Follow…Just Follow Those Who “Get It”

There is alot of noise these days.  Probably more than ever. The good thing is that filtering the noise is actually possible.  In the conversation age you have a choice of what you consume.  With choices comes decisions…asking yourself “what do I read”, “who do I become friends” with “what business opportunities I pursue”.
While chatting [...]
