People, Not Companies

Marketing for Smart People — The word, and term, “marketing” gets a bad rap.

Fear Itself

Conversations with myself. — “What are you afraid of?” “Everything.” “Not everything, surely. Little fluffy bunnies?” “I would probably want to make sure they don’t belong to someone who objects to me handling them.
