Be Mr.Wilder!
How many meetings do you attend in a day, a week, a month, a year? How many of these meetings do you remember? Better yet, what’s the worst meeting you ever attended? Mine was a bit more than fifteen years…
You Wouldn’t Believe!
Shh! I’m sharing a secret this week! Can you keep it? Remember our friend, Jesse Cole, of the Savannah Bananas? Yes, the man who wears a yellow tuxedo for attention, owns seven of them, and even wore one when he…
Finding YOUR Yellow Tux!
Welcome to Yellow Tux Week! Yes, we will be talking about curiosity. No, we will not be talking about Curious George and his best friend, the man with the yellow hat. Instead, this is a continuation of last week’s conversation when…
