  • Interesting post on bringing in the popularity of sitcoms with our lives and businesses. Personally, I've learned more proverbial wisdom from Seinfeld than many professors I've had.

    Constantly changing setting, a few main characters with a cast of changing secondaries and I can't really come up with a soundtrack but it'd probably end up being sea shanties.
  • oh...
    Green Acres with Bonanza, a dash of Twilight Zone, and Lost.
    And a bit of Medium.
  • Steve, you prompted me to make a blog post about what I think about this:

  • Great post Lea! I completely agree. Some people believe that they'll "lose" some part of themselves if they work on branding. The analogy you made is also great, having a summary of your brand that people -get- only encourages people to dig deeper.
  • LOL Steve, you forgot the Fact of Life. Great post my friend.
  • Well mate, you take the good -- you take the bad, you take the happy and the sad. ;)
