His First Set of Pyjamas: The Birth of Hugh Marston Hefner
At 80 years old, Hugh Hefner has had an impressive career building a multi-million dollar industry and living the life of his dreams, all the while pushing the limits of and revolutionizing the American publishing industry. How did he manage to achieve all this? “You stay in touch with the boy who dreamed impossible dreams,” he says.
Is 'Adulthood' Just Postponing Growing Up?
Surprisingly, that age-old question, "What do you want to be when you grow up," too often remains unanswered through adulthood.

Build Your Brand
So you’ve read my points on the power of a Personal Brand (see "Live It Loud and Clear!" or "Be Your Own Adjective") and you're interested, but you don’t know where to start. That is the topic for this month’s message. To get to the heart of your own personal brand, the essential impression you make on the world, you have to strip away the details and get down to your bare-boned basics, your “constants”.
Information Externalities, Car Dealers, and Spaghetti Osteopaths
Why do some competing stores locate near one another, while others don't? In National City, south of San Diego, there is a stretch called the "Mile of Cars". I dont know if it's a mile or not, but it's pretty much an endless strip of car dealers, from Hyundais to Hondas, and everything inbetween. There are similar areas in most reasonably-sized cities, whether a cluster of car dealers, a car strip, or just a bunch of dealer generally clustered around one another.

The Canadian Comic Creator: Todd McFarlane Is Born
He was always the best artist in his class. When a teacher needed something drawn on the blackboard, they would call on little Todd McFarlane to help. McFarlane, however, never wanted to become what he is today: one of the most revered comic book and action figure creators in the world. Instead, McFarlane wanted to be a professional baseball player. But, when an injury crushed that dream, McFarlane used his natural talent in drawing to create a comic book empire. Today, McFarlane’s “Spawn” still stands as the most successful independent comic book ever, and his two companies, McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, continue to set new standards in the toy and film industries.

The Billionaire Broker: The Early Years of Charles Schwab
Charles Schwab always had difficulty in school, but he never knew why. Today, he has become one of the most famous – and successful – dyslexics in the world. From using comic books to help him pass English literature classes to heading up the largest discount brokerage in the U.S., Schwab’s current fortune of $5.5 billion ranks him as the 57th richest person in the country.

How NLP Can Give You the Edge at Work
Certainly there's a lot of garbage talked about NLP, and NLP has been used in unethical and distasteful ways. But if you strip out the hype and apply some critical intelligence, here's how it can over-deliver for you in the workplace.
Managing Growth
When we look back at the excesses of a few short years ago the risk of rapid expansion becomes apparent. We are now paying it back. It didn’t take an astute businessman to question the seemingly endless development of cookie cutter strip malls that made any drive seem like the movie “Groundhog Day”. It wasn’t de javu but rather redundant development.
Clark Kent & Super Branding
It seems as if lately we've seen a huge resurgence in the popularity of the comic book superhero. It could be attributed to many things, I suppose...
Keep Looking Up and Take Back Our Liberties
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
A Conversation With Comic Book Legend Jerry Robinson
On my blog Panel Surfing I endeavor to talk about the last true AMerican art form, the comic book, and especially original comic art. I was very fortunate to get an interview with Jerry Robinson - the man who created The Joker and Robin along with Bill Finger for Bob Kane's Batman way back in the early 40's - the Golden Age of Comics. But that is just the beginning of Jerry's accomplishments.
What can the movie- Due Date, with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, teach you about your leadership style?
Leadership comes in all different styles. This article explores the contrast between the iron fist and the wet noodle approach. By comparing the very different characters in the movie Due Date, we can see how their extreme differences would give them the chance to learn from each other, translate this into leadership styles and we can do the same. More importantly, we can learn about our own style and how we can improve. Mix in a little comic relief, and we will all soon be laughing at ourselves, or not. Enjoy.
