The Rock is in the Pond
For the attendees of the Summit and those other individuals that were able to interact with “The Five” you have a responsibility to keep the message moving. What message you ask? Well there are several but the main message is that there is finally a MOVEMENT in the right direction. You can shake a stick …
The Summit through the eyes of the Corporate beard
Days before the SUMMIT This blog is jaded and biased BUT it will be truthful. After months of preparing individually and collectively I journeyed to Atlanta, GA on January 17, 2013 to prepare for the First annual ICON Summit. For the first 2 or so days I assisted where needed and tried to stay mentally …
Bass akward tacky response
I blogged yesterday about James Yeager’s insensitive, unprofessional, thoughtless Youtube tirades over the last couple of days. Offline I spoke to other leaders in the industry and told them that it would be a matter of time before authorities stepped in and extended the long arm of the law. Well I am here to report …
The water is coming over the dam
The aftermath of the tragic Newtown, CT incident still seems to make conversation at the breakfast counters, Starbucks and other gathering spots.

Lessons learned from the Corporate Beard

Various factors instigate the rise in numbers from, money, men and women transitioning out of the military that find the CRAFT is a good …
Day 2 of Resolute
When I arrived at the gym this morning at 0330 I asked the gym attendant how many new members had enrolled for the New Years. He laughed but could not give me a number. His response was typical for anyone that has been around fitness centers, gyms etc. As I said yesterday there is a …
The industry does NOT function on resolutions
I don’t espouse to wasteful resolutions that people do one day a year – TODAY that last’s for about one [1] month. The gym membership cycle kicks in and will be crowded and over-populated for about 2 months until May when these same people who departed their personal promise to only try to get ready …
