Justin Case You Were Wondering

TweetShare  Facebook tabs are a waste of money. 99 times out of 100. And this isn’t new news. It’s been the case for a while. But now there’s even more evidence that shows why tabs don’t make sense for brands trying to reach their customers on Facebook. Last week, CNN reported that according to PageLever, [...]

TweetShare You’re asleep right now while I’m writing this and you’re making some noises, so I like to think you’re dreaming. I hope you never stop…dreaming, that is. Some of your dad’s earliest and fondest memories are of baseball. I vaugely remember being at Game 5 of the 1985 Royals ALCS against the Toronto Blue [...]

TweetShare  I was driving home last night listening to sports talk radio — 810 for those from KC. The show was winding down and the host, Kevin Kietzman, was giving a final shout out to the sponsor that hosted their remote. Every time they do one of these remotes, there is always some deal for [...]

TweetShare  Mark Zuckerberg is not following the rules. At least, he’s not following the PR rules when it comes to how a CEO should handle a company issue that makes as much news — as much negative news — as Facebook’s recent IPO. The rules say speak up, address the public, stand as a sign [...]

TweetShare  In Built to Last, Jim Collins and Jerry Porras show that companies that consistently focused on building strong corporate cultures over a series of decades outperformed companies that didn’t by a factor of six and outperformed the general stock market by a factor of 15. Like Ferris said in the bathroom of Chez Quis: [...]

TweetShare  The other day, I got home at 9:05 p.m. and ran to the gran the TV remote as fast as I could. Yes, we watch a lit of TV. Anyway, the Scandal season finale was on and I forgot to DVR it. So quickly, I flipped on the TV, hit guide and set it [...]

TweetShare  Sooner than you think, anyone who has $500,000 lying around will be able to take a commercial trip to Mars. Can you imagine that? As my friend Eric Morgensten hinted at…I wonder what the in-flight drinks will cost. No, this is not a post about space travel. But yes, you would had to have [...]

TweetShare  This is part one of a three-part series exploring the mental and cultural aspects behind winning and losing. Starting off with a Royals example. I know, you’re shocked. It’s the first week of the season, and new Royals closer Jonathon Broxton steps to the mound in the bottom of the 12th inning, trying to [...]

TweetShare  Heading back from Mom 2.0 Summit in Miami right now. No, I didn’t get my picture taken at A1A Beachfront Ave. It’s unfortunate, but life goes on. I was working the conference for a client, so I didn’t attend many of the sessions. But I did have time to catch one on the ROI [...]

TweetShare  So the other day I’m flying this airline with a group of colleagues for a business trip. It doesn’t really mater which airline. I’ll just say that it wasn’t Southwest. But you would have been able to guess that after reading the next few paragraphs. Here are a few of the things that happened [...]

TweetShare    About six months ago, Maggie and I walked into our neighborhood Apple Store. She needed a new MacBook for her business and it was right by the Roasterie, so I obliged. For those of you reading this who don’t know Roasterie, think of the best coffee you’ve ever had and imagine it was [...]
