I was fortunate enough to get to do a ride along with the Police Chief of a local community last week. We spent three hours together riding in a patrol car. We answered several 911 calls and made a traffic stop of someone who blew through a red light. It was all very interesting to…

Now that we all have smart phones (you DO have an iPhone or an Android phone don’t you?) the ability to take pictures at any time has become a way of life. And I’m not just talking about “selfies”! I use my phone’s camera to take pictures of things that I want to have easily…

I went to Inman CEO Connect last Tuesday in San Francisco. CEO Connect is part of the week long Inman Connect conference that takes place in San Francisco in August and New York City in January (Note to Brad Inman…really??? NYC in January???).
