Jeffrey Gitomer hits the nail on the head

I am a big fan of reading, and normally I like to actually hold the book, magazine or newspaper in my hands, old school method. But I can’t really say there’s anything wrong with publishing online magazines, especially when most of us are spending more and more time in front of a computer. Printwear, along [...]

Not really my color either

Neon colors are always in fashion somewhere, aren’t they?

T-shirts, Classic Cars and In-N-Out

I’m sure there are [...]

Long Live the Small Business

A few weeks ago I drove my mother up to her cottage in Grayling, Michigan and I passed a business that I have been keeping my eye on for the last 20 years or so and I was happy to see that it is still in business. The new owner, Brody Robison, who bought the [...]
