"Eat it Tina," is my favorite line from the movie Napoleon Dynamite and my family jokingly says it to our dogs and chickens. What are you eating today? I don't just mean what you put in your mouth. I'm also talking about what you allow to influence you. I'm at my client Dr. Bradley Nelson's [...]

Look At This Face

Take lemons and make lemonade. That's what they always say about bad PR. "Look at this face; the face of leadership." Carly Fiorina fights Donald Trump's insensitive statement last week, "Look at that face; would anyone vote for that?" by making it the heart of her new paid advertising campaign. Brilliant. I'm not going to [...]

Never Forget

In a pink pig costume smoking weed, Miley Cyrus hosted the VMA's and is criticized for glorifying drugs. If you were a nonprofit paying big bucks for advertising during the VMAs to stop smoking, you might criticize too. "It's a trap!" This is where you need to smoke out the right fight.

The Way You Look

"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change," said Wayne Dyer, who died of heart attack September 1st. Perception is something I discussed with my business partner, Drew Gerber, today. He is based in Budapest, Hungary where refugees are gathering. He calls it an opportunity. CNN calls it chaos.
