Of all the lines made famous by Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" Callahan, perhaps my favorite comes from the second movie in the series:

"A man's got to know his limitations."

Indeed.

At our best, we are still finite, fallible, dependent human beings.

What I'm listening to...

For those of you who went to see the Avett Brothers earlier this summer at the Bing (and enjoyed them) you should check out Mumford and Sons. Very similar sound but with a Brit twist. Good stuff on their latest album, Sigh No More.

A Preview of the Social Media ROI Forum

It's been noted that I'm a bit case study crazy. Yeah, I lean on real-world examples more than most, but with good reason; the data tells the real story. I would much rather get directions out of the woods from someone that has hiked the trail a couple of times. I know we promised two case studies highlighting social media ROI, but now it's up to

The Status Update on the Status of my Progress

Did you get all of that?

I am not too sure what it means either but that is how things have been in my world these last few months...especially the last 3 or 4 weeks.

A little bit of quick background - last summer I was contacted by an Executive Recruiter to see if I was interested in working as a 'turn-around' guy for a business that was to soon have new owners. Over the course of several weeks that included much conversation, letters, reference checks, due diligence on both… Continue

White Christmas Early Review

I had the privilege of getting a sneak peek at Spokane Civic Theatres production of White Christmas. It was a wonderful production. I am a huge fan of the movie and at first I was wondering how Kevin Partridge would do filling the big shoes of Bing Crosby. The moment he started singing I was sold on the fact that he was Bob Wallace. Cameron Lewis in the role of Phil Davis was amazing as well.…

?????Can you really Improve your credit report with a free credit report?????

As a banker I get asked all the time “How do I improve my credit?” There are lots of websites and services out there that claim they can help you improve your credit.
