Wait A Minute, People Pay Me, I Don’t Pay You!!

Alan Weiss

I’m happy to provide interviews for both broadcast and print sources. About 99% of them are run by honest, well-intentioned organizations, some of whom have vast networks that help me, and some of whom I’m helping by building their networks. Fine with me.

Seth Godin Blog

On the other hand, if you want to change people’s minds, “all data and no anecdote” isn’t going to get you very far. We act on what we understand, we understand what fits into our worldview and we remember what we act on.
