This is not an exhaustive list! That would be impossible. But, it's a pretty wide swath of what's out there. Many publications fall into multiple categories. Just because the New York Times is listed under Newspapers, doesn't mean it doesn't feature Travel or Food stories. I tried to group them based on what the publication primarily publishes, but always check the site to see all the verticals they publish. For the most part, the links go to pitching guidelines, staff directories, or mastheads. If that wasn't available, it goes to the main site. Still, it should make it easier to find what you need for pitching! If a place isn't taking pitches anym

Magic, War, and Intelligence: A Few Personalities, Tricks, and Ideas

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Washington , DC Sunday, July 31, 2022   [unable to retrieve full-text content] Magic, War, and Intelligence: A Few Personalities, Tricks, and Ideas One of the fun things that happened to me was getting a call in October from David Copperfield, considered by many to be today’s greatest magician. The Naval Institute had asked David to give a talk to Annapolis Cadets on the relationship between magic and war. And he asked if I would like to do it with him. See it below.

Stop Worrying About the Damn Box

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI We had dinner with a couple the other night, and the woman expressed some discomfort now that she had “retired.” She had closed her long-time clothing shop, which was upscale and hugely successful. She is a great talent in fashion and style. But she told me she had no hobbies and didn’t know what to do with herself. I advised that her expertise was perfect for what so many people need today, a sense of style and the ability to present themselves well and feel better and more confidant about themselves. I suggested that there was no need for retails shops or travel, and that fashions could be discussed and shown via Zoom and social media. She looked at me with great interest, and as if I had just invented the internet. But, being duly modest, I told her that Al Gore had done that. You don’t always have to think outside the box. Sometimes it’s brilliant just to think better within the box. Adblock test (Why?) source http://

We Invested $90 Billion and then Forgot About It (Dumb Ass Stupid Management)

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Reading can create awareness, and even some basic skills transfer, if the reader has the discipline and need. This includes listening and watching audios and videos. Training can provide for transfer of skills and feedback on their practice. This is dependent on the quality of the training, trainer, and environment. But only consulting and coaching can ensure and sustain application on the job so that there is a demonstrable improvement in behavior and results. It includes the proper consequences for success and lack of success, and involving ongoing management oversight and support. It also can discriminate between skills issues and attitudinal issues. This is why the training industry (in 2021, over $90 billion in revenues in the US alone) is very reluctant to provide metrics for success, because it’s overwhelmingly involved in helping people “get their tickets stamped.” HR keeps track of who attends what, but now how their

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Virginia Beach , VA Episode 626 – Plugin Week 3 [00:00:08] Welcome to Screw the Commute. The entrepreneurial podcast dedicated to getting you out of the car and into the money, with your host, lifelong entrepreneur and multimillionaire, Tom Antion. [00:00:24] Hey everybody, it's Tom here with episode 626 of Screw the Commute podcast. We're in plugin week. This is session three of plugin week and we're going to talk about other plugins. We call them like boutique plugins or boujee plugins. And I got to tell you a little history lesson here. The term boujee currently is used as kind of a slur against hipsters, you know, trying to be cool. But but it really goes back over 100 years and comes from the term bourgeoisie, which the Urban Dictionary says you're aspiring to a higher class than you really are. And so we're going to help you use your plug ins to make your site better than it really is. How about that? So you're a you

Photo by Gerhard via Pixabay Attract the Right Job Or Clientele: Are You Open To New Ideas To Experience Better Outcomes? Being open to new ideas to experience better outcomes is necessary in our evolving world. Discipline and structure are requirements for building a successful business and developing teams to help the effort. The same holds for entrepreneurship or any endeavor where we want to achieve feeling successful. One factor that holds people back is not being open to varying ideas, including the opposing ones. For the sales profession, however, it is essential that we carefully consider the diverse opinion and the reasoning behind each. Doing so is practice for excelling in negotiation, which then aids more robust sales and business growth. Getting what you want is an art of sorts that involves listening, asking in-depth questions about what we hear, listening for additional insight, and continuing the cycle. Only then can we realize how the other person or people think
