    In a sense, marketers know us better than we know ourselves. They feed on our insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. Society hijacks our passion and directs it toward material things. But nobody gets to the end of life wishing they had bought more things. – The More of Less I’ve actually seen the quest for…

  • Kids are the worst clients

    Kids are the worst clients

    by

    The Big Brash Leader Lie!

    by

    It’s a faulty assumption that you need to be big/loud/obvious to lead an organization. This faulty assumption is brought on because that’s the story websites love.
