SmartLess is a Funny, Smart Podcast
Jason Bateman and Will Arnett were castmates on Arrested Development — one of my favorite television shows. They’re working together again — plus actor Sean Hayes (from Will & Grace) — as co-hosts of a great podcast called SmartLess.
One of the three hosts invites a guest and unveiling the guest to the other two. Check out the episode with Paul McCartney. Very entertaining, with lots of great business lessons.
You won’t believe how old McCartney was when he wrote “When I’m Sixty Four.”

You Can’t Beat the Algorithm
I love Seth Godin’s blog. This post rang true for me.
So many businesses focus on the latest and greatest tactics and tricks to master the search engines, social media, and other platforms governed by algorithms.
Seth says it well: “We have a chance to do work weāre proud of, and to do it for people who care. And maybe we can do it in a way that will lead them to tell the others. Traffic from an algorithm isnāt the point, itās a random bonus.”Yes!

Great Advice from Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby was born on this day in 1903. He was, of course, a brilliant performer. He also was a great, visionary businessman (more on that in an upcoming email). He once said this:
“…Listen a lot and talk less. You can’t learn anything when you’re talking.”
