Nearly three years ago I wrote a post I called, Franzese or Frazetta: Do Names Really Matter? It was inspired by my friend Michael Franzese telling me his favorite artist was Frank Frazetta. I had a good chuckle about that because I know names can significantly impact how much we like someone, where we live, and even […]
To question or not to question? That’s the question! I recently had an uncomfortable discussion about politics. Although conventional wisdom is to steer clear of sex, politics and religion, it’s hard to avoid politics with a presidential election only months away. Believe me, talking about sex would have been much more fun and less confrontational […]

It is obvious people want a medium to voice their opinions and to connect with others. What’s amazes me more than those stats are the people who still […]
I was out for an early morning walk not too long ago and was startled when a big German Shepherd came running straight at me. It was apparent he didn’t want to play so I raised my hands to get ready for the inevitable when suddenly his owner appeared, called his name, and the dog […]
The science of influence is just that – science. When I talk about influence I’m not sharing someone’s good advice because all too often that advice might not have any application for you. For example, Donald Trump can tell you things he does to close the deal and those techniques might work for one reason, […]
An interesting thing happened on the way to work a few weeks ago.
