That mindset has led to a fantastical ideological revolution of product development. Of course, there are some organizations where a […]
Read more "Blog Post: What Can You Use An MVP For?"I’m a bit naive by nature, so I tend to be the guy you pull stuff on in the office. Always good for a laugh, I think my team’s favorite part of the day is when I walk away from my laptop without locking it. You want to inspire camaraderie with your group? Give them 10 minutes […]
Read more "Blog Post: Changing The View Of ‘Yes Men’"My dad told me very early on in life that it matters what others say about you, which of course is absolutely right. At some point or another, you will need someone to vouch for your skills and abilities. It will help to have people in your corner. At the same time, it’s just as […]
Read more "Blog Post: What Your Content Says About You"In all honesty, I was drawn to the title of this post on Smashing Magazine because of my affinity for the Minimum Viable Product.

Read more "Blog Post: Hurry Up and Wait In Line!"Seth Godin reminded us (as only he can) yesterday that we must find ways to humanize the work we do.

The question we must continue to ask ourselves is how do we […]
Read more "Blog Post: Can You Measure Your Value?"There are a lot of devices being created today, so it’s understandable that I’m a bit numb to excitement surround a potential product launch.
