Every Company Needs a Journalist
Every Company Needs a Journalist
Forget the SEO, forget the keyword marketing, forget the rest of the mumbo-jumbo. Here’s the sentence you need to read.
[You need] someone who collects, writers, and distributes news and other information about the company, the industry, the customers, the local area – anything that has relevance…
You need someone to uncover stories.
They won’t fall in your lap. You need to ask the right questions with the right people for the right story. Only a journalist can do that.

Bull Shitting
Bull Shitting is SUPER AWESOME! You take a grain of something and blow it completely out of proportion. Some people call it by other names like theories, or improvisation, or creativity.

Blogging in the face of chaos
When things are good and easy, I blog, I tweet & I participate and share. When things aren’t so easy…. not so much
This is odd because no matter how crazy the world is, I work. To be more clear I work from home. That place that some of my friends are afraid of – where there is no boss checking in, where the tv beckons you to watch one more show. Sometimes even I’m surprised to find that somewhere between 8-9 I walk into my office and I work. Even when not at home, I find a place: in someone else’s office, in a dinning room, or in the coffee shop.
For a man that has attention issues and fights daily routine, this has somehow stuck – this “work”. So now it’s time to add social so that next time things aren’t going so well, I can keep calm and carry on.
