Some of you have already heard my story about Counselors Academy so I understand if you want to move on – there is a distinct possibility I have told it about 1,549 times. For those of you who haven’t, I’d like to talk about taking risks and hoping like hell they pay off. I started Big […]
The Best Part of 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 […]
Three Lessons From Cleaning The Cobwebs
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, […]
Seven Google Analytics Metrics Every Marketer Should Watch
People, please have Google Analytics installed on your website. I thought this goes without saying. But I’m finding it doesn’t. Don’t you want to know how many people are looking at your site? Where they are coming from? What they are looking at? I thought so. I want to thank Adria Saracino for guest posting for me […]
Why Simple Really is Better in your Messaging
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 […]

You know I’m about to answer this question with the word “depends,” don’t you? The real question is, are you, a small business owner taking advantage of the local and […]
Differentiate and Be Nice to the Bag Boys
The bag boys at the grocery store hate me. I bring my own bags for a reason. That means I don’t want my wine in it’s own bag, and I don’t need ice cream in an additional bag. I watch and “make suggestions,” and generally drive them up a wall. The ladies at the shop […]
Media Relations vs. Influencer Relations
There really isn’t a difference between media and influencer relations. And I’ll explain. But I’d like to digress first and talk about the future of journalism. Italics mine because I have to laugh at the idea of forecasting the future. Have you seen this special project in the New York Times, Snow Fall: The Avalanche […]
Untangling From The Fetal Position
January 2013 will be remembered as the most difficult and suckiest month of my life. After I wrote that crisis post two weeks ago, our family suffered a tragic loss. It would appear the universe suddenly realized it had overlooked us when it comes to sad events. And decided to quickly catch up this month […]
The Expanding Role of PR – The Technologist
This is a post I originally wrote as chief content officer for Spin Sucks. Also! I’ll be speaking on this topic at the PRSA Western District Conference in Arizona in April. Will you be there?
