How Super Mario took over America

I read a ton of business books, but it is rare that one speaks to me in a truly personal way. So when the folks over at Portfolio passed along a copy of Jeff Ryan’s Super Mario, How Nintendo Conquered America (Amazon affiliate link), I was ecstatic to take a look. You see I was born in…

ESPN – Wicked Local

I really love how ESPN gets their commercials hyper local. This one with Dustin Pedroia is especially awesome on two fronts. One he is my hight and is called the laser show and two, Esposito is referenced as the best. A win-win in my book. Thanks to Nick Gosselin for pointing this out — RELAX….

BP – using local business to capitalize on disaster

Over the past few months, Leroy Stick and the Deepwater Horizon have faded from the limelight of the 24-hour news cycle. While the initial outlook for the Gulf was bleak, the assumptions turned out to be overstated and the region was not as bad off as we thought, and recovery was on its way. Should…

What BP could have done better – a counterpoint

This is a counterpoint article to my post on BP earlier today from my friend Justin Goldsborough. Click here to see the initial post. We’d love to hear what you think. I think the new BP ads show how slowly companies actually change and how big of a hill the company has to climb. In…
