It’s funny. I don’t remember the conversation or how it came up but I remember flippantly commenting to someone that criminals make great entrepreneurs. They’re organized, self-starters, motivated, strategic, enterprising. I guess I’m not the only one who had that thought. Tonight I caught 3/4 of one of the most interesting TV shows I’ve seen [...]

That it’s more important to have an interesting colorful persona than to have “good jokes”. Several of the comedians were funny on paper. One even got the compliment that if the show [...]

Just spent a day coaching entrepreneurs to be original, be authentic, be confident and be stars. Then hung up the phone and tuned in to hear Simon and the gang say the same stuff to the contestants on American Idol. Haven’t seen much of that this season on American Idol so I dug up the [...]
