Getting Married

Many know, some don’t, that I am to be married tomorrow to the most wonderful woman I have ever met.  After so many years, we are to be joined together in marital bliss for the rest of our lives.  I have honestly never been happier than I am at this time in my life and it will only get better from here.

The wedding will be at First Congregational on Division street in Tacoma at 7pm with a reception following immediately at the Landmark.

Then comes the honeymoon, most of which we will be spending in a secluded cabin out in the woods… almost no cell phone reception… no TV or anything…it will be glorious! Needless to say I won’t be posting anything as I will be indisposed and otherwise engaged.

Thank you so much to all the friends and family who helped to make this possible, and especially to my parents for giving Megan and I the rehearsal party of our dreams last night.  Honestly it could not have been more perfect.

Just for fun

If I have any readers left in a week and a half, when I get back I will begin posting again on the 18th.  In the meantime I honestly want any topic ideas you might have.  Just leave a comment and we will talk.

Thank you and talk to you soon.

This is the beginning

My friend Justin suggested that I begin a blog because he thinks I have something to say.  He said he would actually follow me so I told him I’ll give it a try.

I really do so the world changing.  “Marketing” as we know it will see a dramatic shift from its current loose and unorganized methods to holistic and cohesive.  “Marketing” will cease to be a word with relevant meaning, relegated to the world of history books that people will look back on in head shaking wonder.  Instead we will speak of story, soul, and personality.

We already unconsciously see companies and businesses as “people” and interact with them as we would a beloved friend and confidant.  The next steps will see us completing this transformation.  But business theory and strategy need to catch up and recognize that business owners have a Frankenstein-like power to bring entities to life, that every decision affects the corporate story, its soul, and ultimately its personality.

I repeat these words for good reason because they, or something like them, will be the new terms by which we describe our organizations, the gauges of how we interact with these invisible, but all too real, entities.

This blog will be about that transition and all the related minutia that affect our societal transformation to a more connected and personable collection of human beings.  If you are reading this, please join the conversation.

Note: As of this post I don’t have a home internet connection, working on that, but I am updating as often as I can.  If I don’t reply right away you now understand why.
