For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI There ought to be a law against airlines hawking credit cards over the PA at 35,000 feet when it prompts you to want to leave the plane. With a “captive” audience and a treacly, scripted sales pitch, selling credit cards is repugnant. Gain some free miles while you ruin your credit rating. Stop reading your book or writing an article while they blast false claims over the cabin. (Try to get a free seat with points when you need one.) It reminds me of an old circus sideshow. If I stood up and started yelling obscenities, they’d have the police waiting for me at the gate. Why is the airline allowed to scream a sales pitch while you’re trying to eat mediocre food and are wondering if the pilot will ever turns off the “seatbelt” sign?

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI One of the reasons we don’t retain good ideas and salient points is that we don’t use and apply them immediately. If you see a quote, or a phrase, or a new word, or a statistic, or whatever that you feel may be useful, then apply it a soon as possible. Don’t await “the right moment,” which will never come—create the right moment. The greatest reasons for short-term memory loss is lack of use, and the greatest reason for long-term memory loss is short-term memory loss! (There’s also cognitive decline, of course, but that can be delayed and decreased by building memory.)

A few studies have uncovered what may “show” aspects of the donor in those who receive the transplanted organ. Photo by Sander Sammy on Unsplash Organ transplants are believed to be the process of implanting an organ from a donor into a new recipient — nothing more. However, several studies focus on the unsettling beliefs or behaviors that recipients reveal relative to the donors. No, it’s not something from Mary Shelley ’s writings or Tim Burton’s films, and it is both intriguing and curious, perhaps frightening, at the same time. The belief has always been that memory resides in the brain , yet we know there may be other types of memory reservoirs that don’t remain in the brain but may be in other areas of our bodies, organs, or anywhere. Just because we haven’t discovered all of them doesn’t mean they don’t exist . We are now in an era of discovery , probably unlike any other area aside from the time when Leonardo da Vinci was doing dissections and anatomic drawings in his

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI John Naisbitt coined “High tech/High touch” in his 1982 best-seller,  Megatrends. It’s as true today as it was then, maybe more so. AI is a tool, not a conclusion. Firms that will distinguish themselves are those that will personalize customer approaches, not retreat into a technological cocoon. Do you think all those irate customers cursing out the automated cashier machines in stores are happy with that option? And when an employee has to intervene so frequently do you think that store is cutting expenses?

If you have a socially or environmentally conscious business… If you are an activist on any issue… If you work in any way to better the lives of disempowered people—whether the disempowerment is social, cultural, medical, geographical, or any other cause… Please read this next paragraph VERY carefully. It’s from today’s Letters from an American by Heather Cox Richardson (emphasis added): How religion and authoritarianism have come together in modern America was on display Thursday, when right-wing activist Jack Posobiec opened this weekend’s conference of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside Washington, D.C., with the words: “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here.” He held up a cross necklace and continued: “After we burn that swamp to the ground, we will establish the new American republic on i

For Immediate Release: Dateline: San Francisco , CA On Friday, Alexei Navalny, the leading opponent to Vladimir Putin in Russia, died mysteriously. While his death was shocking, it was not a surprise. Anyone who crosses Putin faces a much shortened lifespan—some fall out of tall buildings, others are poisoned or shot, and still others, like Yevgeny Prigozhin, are killed when their plane suddenly blows up. Navalny himself survived a poisoning attempt in 2020, yet he returned to Russia where he was captured as an enemy of the state and imprisoned in a remote prison camp. Navalny was the last of the well-known dissidents to question Putin’s supremacy. Since his death, hundreds of people throughout Russia have been arrested for leaving memorials to Navalny. A Russian-American woman is being held for sending a $51 donation to a group supporting Ukraine. Navalny’s widow vows to continue his fight, albeit from outside Russia, but how much she can achieve under the current conditions

J ust Created:  Using Contemporary Events to Generate Uniqueness and Extreme Value to Buyers   One day I was forced by my buyer at a St. Louis hospital to attend a board reception before my speech. I simply could not get out of it, so I began to “mingle.” I met a man who owned the largest trucking firm in Missouri and the eighth largest in the nation. I said to him, “How does the bankruptcy of Consolidate Freight affect you?” (I had read that in the  Wall Street Journal  on the plane.) He spoke for 15 minutes and asked if we could talk again later. He became a client. Are you aware that supply chains are being “shrunk” in order to be less dependent on foreign sources and intervention? Do you appreciate the fact that use of telehealth has increased by a factor of 38 since the pandemic and is expected to grow almost 25% annually  from its current $100 billion in revenues?  There are 32 million small businesses in the US, small businesses comprise 99.9% of all global businesses, and 50

Carefully examining any invoice for services or tests or anything else is a practice everyone needs to engage in, even when it’s in healthcare. 9dreamstudio @ 123RF.COM Healthcare is a necessary part of life and the fees paid for it and the health insurance we also need can sometimes be unremarkable or shocking. Should we always assume that any bill, whether for healthcare or fixing our TV, is accurate and pay it? The answer here is probably “no.” Everyone makes mistakes, but some “mistakes” are purposeful, so we must evaluate all bills carefully. Let me provide an example. I’ve worked in healthcare for many decades and heard some billing charges that shocked patients. A young physician, well-respected at his hospital and involved in research that was bringing millions of dollars in grants to the institution, was enjoying a weekend at a friend’s suburban retreat when he experienced severe chest pain. All the signs pointed to a heart attack. He was rushed to a well-known major ho

For Immediate Release: Dateline: albuquerque , NM Do you have a desire to be great? For instance, you may want to be a great parent, businessperson, athlete, chef, painter, writer, doctor, or psychic. Or are you satisfied being ordinary or mediocre? “Great,” “average,” and “mediocre” are subjective judgments. If used in comparison, “great” can mean you judge something else as “mediocre.” After all, being great is defined as an above-average or extraordinary ability, quality, or eminence. Only some people aspire to greatness. In fact, I’d guess less than half the population wants to be seen as outstanding at what they do. But that means they are happy being average. They are content being ordinary and not standing out as excellent. Average is easy…comfortable even. But if you know you could be and do more…that you could be extraordinary, you’ll end up dissatisfied and regret not trying to fulfill your potential.
