A Wish Is A Dream Your Heart Fakes. But It’s Not The Very Best Business Strategy
As an awful lot of pundits and observers noted over the holiday week, this is the beginning of Year Two of Bob AIger Reign Two and yes, Happy Bobiversary to all. Suffice to say it didn’t exactly begin the way some might have hoped. Per VARIETY’s Rebecca Rubin: Disney may need to find another star
Is Right Wrong? Is Wrong Right?
I’ve spent a great deal of my professional career utilizing a skill set where I am able to synthesize and process information and opinions from hundreds, sometimes thousands of people, and dispassionately distill the material takeaways to invested parties. I’m even able to do that when I have a room full of a dozen or
A Love Lettah To Barbra. And Barbara.
Dear Ms. Streisand, My humblest apologies. I initially had no intention of reading your recently released autobiography MY NAME IS BARBRA. I had gotten some tepid feedback from friends who lamented plunking down $47 for nearly 1000 pages of your stories, many of which they found to be written from the perspective of someone who

You CAN Go Home Again
We’re in the season where people are going home for the holidays, which in recent years has been more sporadic than it used to be. It’s not cheap, way too many people have “safety” issues and, sometimes, it’s not all that desired an experience on either side. For those reasons, sometimes years can go by
Is Bad Publicity Better Than No Publicity At All?
There was once an era where the Sunday New York Times was far more important and ubiquitous than it is these days, and even on a normal Sunday it would be hundreds of pages and dozens of sections. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, with an overload of inserts from advertisers offering the beginnings of their
