I recently wrote about whether or not I should get an MBA…  Yesterday I ran across this opportunity from Seth Godin. He’s looking for a few smart, nice, charismatic, fast moving, motivated people to be part of a six month program with him.  This is what the program will consist of: One hour a day [...]

If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you know that I’m in the middle of a large decision: Do I start an MBA or not? One of my favorite things about my blog is getting advice from people I know and look up to… So here are a few of my thoughts: Principal pays up [...]

Anyone in marketing knows of the genius, Seth Godin. What makes him so amazing is his ability to take a seemingly simple observation and transform it into some sort of brilliant marketing concept. Example:  The Bad Table (Here’s the short version of his post:) He goes to a restaurant and gets seated at the worst [...]

I came to a realization a few weeks ago:  People treat others based on personality. I should have realized it when I was watching Harold and Kumar’s Trip to White Castle. Remember when Harold’s co-workers dumped all that extra work on him?  That’s because Harold was a pushover… until he stood up to them.  (Riding [...]

Since college I’ve had three major transitions in my life.  Going to college.  Studying abroad.  Getting a job. Transitioning to college was great.  Social interactions were easy for one reason:  we were all in the same situation.

I was reading a post by Kayla Gregory on Tuesday about Why the Bar Scene Sucks… During college, I spent two of my years bartending.  Because it was such good money, I probably logged more hours in the bar than I did in the classroom.  (Sad, but true.) But believe it or not, you can [...]

I haven’t wanted to write about this…  Mostly because I’m appalled by what I’ve seen.  But I feel compelled to because it’s going to become a huge issue among college campuses. If you’ve not heard of JuicyCampus, you probably will sometime in next few months. It’s a social networking site where people can anonymously post [...]

I spent last Tuesday night at a career fair in Madison.  Personally, I’ve always thought career fairs are entirely worthless. But after being on the other side of them, I realized that they’re only mostly worthless… I was expressing this opinion to a co-worker of mine and she said, “Well at least it’s a great [...]

I went to the Chicago New Media Summit on last Monday and Tuesday… but I didn’t do it the traditional way.  By that, I mean I didn’t pay… and I figured out how to make yourself the luckiest person at the conference. Here are a few tricks I learned that worked great: Volunteer – Instead [...]

There is one message that was pounded into my head all throughout college. It’s the same message that any marketing professional has heard 1,000 times… Never try to be all things to all people. Here are the typical examples people use time and time again: Winners                   [...]
