Imagine asking this question to some of the most iconic, celebrated, and successful names in NFL history: Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott, Roy Green, Jonathan Ogden, Eric Dickerson and Greg Lloyd. Well, I recently sat down and interviewed them for the making of a launch video. Be jealous, it was a surreal, pinch me moment. TheseContinue reading “What Makes You Smile?”

Getting a Head Start on a New Year
Don’t get me wrong, I love, love each and every moment of the holiday season. Extra time with family and friends, festive parties, and the demonstrated expressions of giving and gratitude are especially sweet. But as the Thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pie buzz begins to lift, it feels like we are suddenly ringing in theContinue reading “Getting a Head Start on a New Year”
Where the Brands are the Stars
If you have never been to one of the big consumer trade shows, you are missing out on a great opportunity to really get to know an industry and marketplace from an on-the-ground perspective. As a consumer, it is the one place you can learn, explore and experience hundreds, sometimes thousands of consumer products byContinue reading “Where the Brands are the Stars”
We Like To Build Things
We are all good at different things. But what makes some people thrive while others flat line or simply falter? The key is to understand what kind of employee you are. Regardless of title, we all answer to someone. As a business founder and manager, my goal is to hire for the best skill setContinue reading “We Like To Build Things”
The Economy Isn’t Pretty But I Still Look Fabulous

It’s much more difficult in our hyper aware, consumer driven times to considerContinue reading “The Economy Isn’t Pretty But I Still Look Fabulous”
Virgin Tour, SXSW
Although I have lived in Austin for the past 4 years, this year marked my first SXSW. I consider myself a regular to other destination events here in town, but SXSW is clearly the BIG one putting Austin on the radar beyond Tex Mex, live music and a laid back lifestyle. Luckily I had someContinue reading “Virgin Tour, SXSW”

It is always a challenge summarizing your work in any format, but I think we did a good job capturing bambeco’s story in this short video. Let us know whatContinue reading “One Year One Video”
RISE Austin, PR for Small Business
Very often I am asked to share PR insights and best practices. PR is such a misunderstood profession that I relish these opportunities to share, educate and inspire. My goal is to break down PR myths, one presentation at a time. Just this past week for example I had the chance to host a RISEContinue reading “RISE Austin, PR for Small Business”
A Look Back
I’m excited to see what this year will bring. The holidays were filled with so much joy and energy. Each moment with our 3 little girls was truly so precious and f-u-n. It’s impossible to talk about my family without sounding saccharine, even to my own ears (!), but it is a very,Continue reading “A Look Back”
