The Mouth From The South: Ted Turner is Born
Ted Turner once said, “Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.” If that is true, then Turner is one of the best players and the biggest winners of all time. Worth an estimated $7 billion at the peak of his career in the 1990s, Turner used his outspoken and often controversial persona to create a media empire that would revolutionize the television industry. He also used his wealth to become one of the most generous philanthropists in history. Although Turner’s attention has now shifted away from the business world, his legacy endures and he remains committed to making the world a better place.

A Foreign Affair: Carnegie Comes to America
“You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb,” said Andrew Carnegie.

Lesson #2: Business Is Not All About The Profits
“Business is not longer a matter of profits alone,” Penney said. “Profits must come through public confidence, and public confidence is given to any merchant in proportion to the service which he gives to the public.” As much as he focused on providing superior customer service in all of his stores, Penney also understood that service meant more than in-store courtesy. He believed that organizations such as his should be used for the betterment of society, not only because it could but because it made sense from a business point of view as well.

Thanksgiving Special - NEA's Top Tips for Generous Relationships
One of the best ways to give thanks year round is to be perpetually generous in your interactions with others. In prep for Thanksgiving next week I put together a list of the top five Generosity tips inspired by or lifted from Never Eat Alone.
The Ethics of Service
Service works when it enriches the exchanges. Customers feel valued when the experience a service provider delivers something special to the encounter.
