Just when I’d thought I’ve seen it all…along comes a video on YouTube that challenges my perception of what humans are truly capable of doing, especially when incarcerated. I did a quick search for “Thriller” on YouTube and up popped a video remake of the famous Michael Jackson Thriller video, as interpreted by prison […]
I just returned from my EO Forum offsite in Ensenada. After 2 days of workshops with the forum, we headed over to Horsepower Ranch, home of Wide Open Baja, to pick up our dune buggies and guide. These are the guys that take F1 drivers and celebrities for 4 and 7 day tours […]
I’m gearing up for my EO Portland annual forum off-site…in Ensenada. After 2 days of team-building exercises, my forum members and I are going to take race-ready dune buggies on the actual Baja 1000 race course for two days of hard driving, all while the pros are doing dry runs in preparation for the […]

No matter how simple we make the message of “diet and exercise” to the fat people in this country, even early death isn’t incentive enough to keep people from eating processed and fast foods. Here’s my exquisitely easy answer: all new digital […]
Jeff Mills and Alex Williams are the dynamic duo at eROI. I just spent two days with Alex Williams and Jeff Mills at InnoTech Austin, doing deals and talking eMarketing. I can’t think of two people that I’d rather hang out with in Austin than Jeff Mills and Alex Williams, two of eMarketing’s top […]
I’m currently at Innotech Austin to participate in the eMarketing Summit. I’ve also been connecting with a few of my EO co-horts. I’ve never been to Austin before, but have enjoyed meeting locals and taking in the culture. I’m moderating a Hot Seat event this afternoon, which is exciting, considering it will be […]
