I’ve been blessed to have been touched by several key influences in my career and throughout my life. While there have been many, here are a few sites I recommend to my friends and business associates:

This is the site of Roy H. Williams, The Wizard of Ads. I’ve been privileged to be an attendee to one of his sessions in his headquarters in Buda, TX just outside of Austin. He’s a brilliant ad guy, and he pours a mean glass of Merlot.

Andrew Corbus and I have partnered to bring the concept of Authenticity to small businesses worldwide.  So often the promises that businesses advertise don't match the actual customer experience.  Our goal is to help small to medium-sized businesses create advertising that is easily transferrable to the actual customer experience, and then teach the staff how to live up to the promises of the advertising.  We call it INvertising.  You'll call it amazing.
