I'm a fan of Marc Maron's podcast and recently heard Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live fame re-state "done is better than perfect" in two sentences that could only be said by him. "We don't go on because the show is perfect. We go on because it's 11:30 Saturday...
I had a scheduled radio interview with The Small Business Advocate, Jim Blasingame this morning. He reminded his audience and me, that I've been part of his Brain Trust for 7 years now. It's been over a year since I've been able to be on this show. We've gotten to...
