Just some fun stuff here.
At the Red Barn, we have a standard 8-4 schedule, but we still consider it a flexible work schedule – meaning Jenn and I will typically log in to Skype around 8 am EST to connect and Jenn usually checks out around 4 pm to head to the gym but that’s about as structured as […]
If I want to get something done and be efficient – it needs to be in my calendar, that’s how I block my time. If it’s not there it doesn’t exist. I take my calendar to the next level and use the Time Blocking Method. I learned this little trick over a decade ago from […]
What we do as an industry has dramatically changed over the past decade. We’ve shifted from trying to convince people to buy, to do, to act, to honing in on our customer’s journey and customer experience. CX will rule Marketing and Advertising in the next decade. The Customer Experience (CX) is king. People no longer […]
If you are making money – the answer is YES. I think there is a stigma around the MLM (Multi Level Marketing) that’s not always warranted. The visions of Ponzi pyramid schemes runs through people’s minds and all of a sudden one’s spidey senses are in hyper-drive at the mention of “joining the cult”. Here’s my $.02. […]
There is a big difference between having an email marketing program and having an AUTOMATED email marketing program. The word “Automation” tends to send people into the panic zone – conjuring up visions of AI, robots, machines, “Danger Will Robinson” and the like. Well, indeed it’s a bit computer geeky to set up the email […]
“I’m ready to retire, but not ready to stop working, stop using my brain, stop… doing.” When you have spent most of your life in Corporate America – leading teams, driving change, mentoring generations – retiring to Boca or moving to the Villages isn’t always an easy transition for some. In fact, many recent retired […]
Insuretech surely isn’t a new buzz word, but it is ever evolving. From digital agency management systems to sales platforms and claims management – the P&C industry is slowly embracing the wonders of technology. Albeit far slower than other industries. When it comes to claims management, specifically in the property space, many carriers are heavily […]
There is so much damn talent in the Boomer pool. As part of that generation, I’m continually fascinated by the number of us who have zero interest in really retiring. Sure, most want to get out of the structure and politics of Corporate USA, but they aren’t ready to drive a golf cart around the […]
I’m a huge fan of self-development books, podcasts, workshops – in fact, I’m probably a little addicted. I’m fascinated by what makes successful people tick. I guess I’m a bit of a voyeur. I’m curious, I’m questioning, I’m a dreamer. All of that is well and good, but the only way to accomplish any type […]
One of the first things I do with a new client is ask them what the next 5-10 years looks like for them – in other words, what do they want their life to be? Most people can’t answer that question or if they do it’s very vague. Most say they just want to be […]
