Nearly a year ago, I had the pleasure of meeting with Vilma Luoma-aho, a post-doctoral researcher and visiting scholar (H‐STAR Institute) at Stanford University. She was here from Finland as part of the Innovation Journalism program, and wanted to discuss my views on social media as well as the traditional media world I was born [...]
And, of course, I’m embarrassed to seem braggy, but if you can’t brag on your own blog, where can you?

It’s so bizarre to me. Following years of being the coolest kid in the working world ’cause I happened to work in TV news, I now work in PR and am occasionally – as lovingly as possible – referred to as a ‘geek.’ Eek! How the heck did that happen? Well, [...]
As a consultant that works globally, I am all too familiar with being on the consumer end of the travel retail business. We have an exciting new partnership with Mark Thornton, who has deep industry connections.
