Sometimes Sinners Make the Best Preachers

Correcting My Contribution to the Battle Between Buyer and Seller

 

I spent 31 years in automotive retail, in every variable role from used car salesperson to GSM, then GM and Dealer Principal.

Rebellion is a strange thing. It conjures up the image of an underdog fighting an unjust power. And yet, the word implies a considerable resistance that is often unsuccessful.

A teen going head to head with a parent (a battle of wills). The Confederacy seceding from the Union (we know how that turned out). The Rebel Alliance standing up to the Galactic…

Letters From Leaders: If you're a leader of any stripe, your communication matters deeply

Anyone who idolizes you is going to hate you when he discovers that you are fallible. He never forgives. He has deceived himself, and he blames you for it." — Elbert Hubbard, 1901

Individualism Has No Place in a Pandemic

There's a "public" in public health

Pandemics don’t care where you were born.

They don’t discriminate based on gender, sexual preference, or the color of your skin.

Pandemics don’t care who you voted for, nor whom you support in 2020.
