The Grand Adventure
One of the benefits of going to a top school is having very talented professors. The best have a way of describing a concept so simply and “matter of factly” that it sticks with you forever. When I attended Emory’s Goizueta school, one of those professors was Dr. Jagdish Sheth, known to his students as […]
(This was originally published in 2013… thought I’d dust it off and publish it.) It still amazes me how far the human race has progressed in technology over the past 40 years. I mean, look at written history over the past couple of THOUSAND years, then look at what we’ve been able to achieve just […]
I was watching a beautiful snowfall many years ago at night. There was not one whisper of wind. The snow was falling straight down out of the sky. The flakes were all sizes, from fractions of an inch to a couple of inches. As you know, theoretically, no two snowflakes are alike. The flakes were […]

I just got through with a very aggravating experience trying to book a rental car from Hertz. I’m joining a few fellow Beechcraft Bonanza pilots in Florida in a few weeks to practice formation flying. Every year we practice taking off, flying, and landing in close formation, in preparation for our trip to Oshkosh, Wisconsin […]
The world is full of crazy people. Hopefully none of them are your own flesh and blood! My boys are 7 and 9 years old, so they are still a little too young to get caught up in the Tide Pod Challenge. Thank heavens! What starts as “innocent” practical jokes can get completely out of […]
When I worked in IBM Marketing, we ran quarterly pulses on the market to ensure that our offerings were still relevant and on-point with our customers, partners and competitors. I’ve worked with companies that also do this to varying degrees, though not as masterfully. One report in particular focused on new product releases as well […]
I was talking with a few high level business types, doctors and lawyers from an aviation community I belong to and the subject of bitcoin came up. It seems there is a lot of conjecture out there and myths being perpetuated, so I thought I’d put together a short primer for those who are not […]
It is amazing that a company the size of Equifax (EFX) can do so many things wrong in a row. This is a well established, global company that is headquartered right here in Atlanta with approximately 9,900 employees worldwide. Since the breach, their market cap as plummeted from $17.7 billion to $13.3 billion. They lost […]
