No such thing as spare time.
No such thing as free time.
No such thing as downtime.
All you got is life time.
Go.

Welcome to my site! Perspective is my own and I post when I have something to share. Scroll down to see the latest.
For years now I’ve been running around using the term brand depth hoping it would catch on and I’d be given credit! When I use the term in meetings, I always get one old schooler that leans forward and asks me; “You mean brand equity, don’t you?” Nope. The concept is really easy with the goal being to have as deep a relationship with your customers as you can. (I...
I’ve been watching a new show on, believe it or not; The Weather Channel. The show is called From the Edge and it features one of my long time favorite photographers, Peter Lik. (Just for the record, the show should be on The Travel Channel. And if I had my way, it would be shown between Anthony Bourdain’s, No Reservations and Dhani Jones, Tackles the Globe ) Now...
Mashable recently posted about Bing gaining ground on Google and I can’t help but wonder if it’s because Bing search is featured on Facebook. With 33% of all US Internet users on Facebook throughout the day (10% internationally), it’s hard to imagine that users aren’t leaving to go to Google to perform searches. Why not just stay here! With the imminent release of...
I believe the technology is going to get to where it needs to be unless apps can figure out how to do something that web apps can’t. The real question for me is bandwidth. Bandwidth is an extremely expensive problem to solve.
I had a very interesting conversation the other day with a very smart entrepreneur in Boulder. (Not sure if he’d want me to use his name. So I won’t!) We were talking about businesses and how “they are what they are”, for lack of a better way to say it. Meaning Google is a search/ad company. Facebook is a social company and Apple is an consumer electronics company...
I was recently doing some research online and came across a great post by Joe Mescher who shows a great example of yet another type fo social commerce. I’ve already posted about the two types of social commerce, but love this example. @joemescher was kind enough to let me put his post on my site. Check out his site when you get a chance. And now for the story . . . Anyone who needs a good...
If you read this blog with any regularity you will notice the change. After almost 4 years of blogging, a change to the design was WAY overdue. The design is what I would call mobile aesthetic. Mobile does not allow for any shading and shiny 3d bubbles that we’ve all come to know as web 2.0 design. I believe you will see more and more of this design style. Sites like Chrome, do an...
Currently the 31% of all mobile users in the US have a smartphone. Just in case you weren’t going to do the math; that leaves a staggering 70% of the market with feature phones. Or as some of my friends call them; dumb phones. I think there is an enormous misconception that once the remainder of the market transitions to smartphones (whatever percentage that ends up being), that everyone...
Howard Schultz is the CEO of this little coffee company called Starbucks. You may have heard of them . . I got to see him speak last night at Daniels College of Business, Voices of Experience Series and I wanted to share what I heard. He’s in the process of promoting his new book Onward and I assume he covered what’s in the book. (Haven’t read it yet.) The thing that stuck...
I’ve registered and I can’t wait!
