digital world embedded psyche

The first night I dreamt in French was a memorable one. It was during the year I lived in Paris and it meant the language had finally sunk into my psyche. Last night I dreamt of blog topics. The night before, I kid you not, I dreamt of messaging on landing pages, calls to action […]

Half-Assing It vs. Whole-Assing It

March 11, 2013 by Lisa Gerber 9 Comments

half-assing it vs. whole-assing it

Few things drive me crazier than when I go out to a restaurant and look down at my plate disappointingly thinking: “I could have done this better at home.” You ordered the flatbread appetizer but it’s more like toaster oven pita bread with shredded cheddar and bacon bits.

Perhaps you think you have to be witty and interesting but aren’t (or don’t think you are.) Mostly, sharing on Facebook just goes […]

walking in grandmother's shoes

I inherited my Gramma Jean’s pink crocs last month. They’re big shoes to fill but I intend to serve her well. I actually never think about my legacy but today, my Grandmother would have turned 90 and I’ve been thinking a lot about hers and subsequently my own. As I sat through her funeral service, a few […]

the race

The starting line adrenaline/jitters were coursing through my body, and I was excited to be racing again. I was entered for the 15K and we were lined up for the Schweitzer Nordic Extreme Race. My friend Alex gave my skate skis the wax love and I had my breakfast of soft boiled eggs on sweet […]

Cleaning the dust bunnies

So I did it. I went a month without eating grains, dairy, or sugar. Yes, that means no wine, too – the hardest part of the whole month. After I made it through the phase of wanting to kill all the people and eat all the food, I discovered a few unexpected things about business, […]

dumb it down for the masses

Today, I’d like to share a story about treating your newbie market with care and why it’s important to dumb your message down for the masses. I’m working on getting wine labels printed for a client. (And when I say “client” I actually mean my amazing husband who is a winemaker and has a startup […]

I first got to know Lisa Gerber from working with her when she was part of Arment Dietrich, and I knew then that she was a smart cookie… Her blog (has) become a staple part of my reading diet.
