So how did @salesforce consumerize its brand? The untold story is that one of its top marketing peeps its and PR AOR (at the time) were both shared details about a giant leap the company needed to make marcom wise and then canned the person who shared the groundbreaking strategy.

I heard from an acquaintance of mine that something is awry with @CareForKids hiring practices. Why are Valley job candidates with national and int'l exp. being passed over for local candidates with no nat'l and/or int'l exp? Politics at play?

Going through my previous posts and it feels like I'm staring at a time capsule. Almost feels like I was a casualty of the #pandemic...my posts sort of stop around that time. Gees!

Time to dust off the cobwebs and start posting again on Twitter...oh...I meant X. It has only been several years since I last posted on this platform. BTW, if you live in Cali and haven't voted yet...please do so. Every vote counts!

A #Covid19 feel good story: #Charity CEO gets sick; comes up with idea of #PPE travel kits; starts garage startup to fund charity; pandemic hits; business hires 15 employees; expands into 20K sq ft warehouse, etc. read bit.ly/3sF76vw cc @ABCGMA3 @GMA @TODAYshow @CBSNews
Tens of thousands of Americans are accessing #SocialSecurity benefits early b/c of #pandemic but won't get full benefits...but there's a loophole to get 100% benefits back. How? Ask me. @LorieKonish @annetergesen
Hey @CNBC and @LorieKonish, good reporting on potential big changes to #SocialSecurity. How about using Nat. Assoc. of Registered SS Analysts next time as a source? narssa.org
Imagine creating a #PPE travel safety kit biz in 2018, almost going belly up, then the #pandemic hits and sales grow by 10,000% with deals from Target, BBBeyond? Read the feature story of Peter Cook's Refreshed Traveler brand bit.ly/3bXRWfW #startup #SmallBiz #Florida
The CES cab line’s not bad, ha ha, I’ve been indoors for nearly a year

If #HollywoodMovies foreshadow anything about a #pandemic and/or #Zombies or #apocolypse it tells us that sometimes our best strategies have the worst consequences. Is immunizing all healthcare workers and first responders 1st the smartest thing to do? @CNN @foxandfriends @ABC
Ever heard of a Social Security expert before? A national organization has been founded to certify experts who can manage planning/retirement for SS benefits. narssa.org. cc: @CNN @Kiplinger @USATODAYmoney

#Rural and #urban startups and tech brands in non-traditional tech areas still face major prejudice from tier 1 media that are too cozy with name-brand investors and serial entrepreneurs from the coasts and major metros. @DMRegister @KCStar @OWHnews @theadvocatebr @FresnoBee
In case you ever wondered what it's like #workingfromhome with cats, and in my case two Siamese littermates. One word...TROUBLE. #CatsOfTheQuarantine cc: @abcnews @GMA #petsarepests
