Introducing: RecomMONDAYtions
Welcome to the first issue of RecomMONDAYtions
Starting right here, right now, I will serve you a fresh-from-the-oven selection of recommendations — sites to visit, podcasts to hear, videos to watch, resources to try, and more — every MONDAY morning.
RecomMONDAYtions will be similar to the Monday Mash-Up — which I’m retiring after 10+ years — with better organization and more recommendations.
Dig in and enjoy…

Article
š° “Remembering the Meaning of Memorial Day”

Humor
š¤£ How to Avoid an Advertising Dumpster Fire
Monday Mash-Up readers know how much I love the Marketoonist — because he delivers valuable business lessons via hilarious cartoons. Here’s one that reminds us: “Where an ad appears can sometimes communicate more than the ad itself.”
Book
š “Profitable Happiness” by Dr. PelĆØ
Here’s what I wrote on Amazon after reading Profitable Happiness: The 5 Key Habits of a High-Performance Organizationā¦
“I love this book. Dr. PelĆØ drew me in immediately with the opening story and continued to deliver chapter after chapter. This is a valuable — and entertaining — resource for any business leader who wants to build a productive and engaged team. Dr. PelĆØ reminds us that success doesn’t breed happiness. It’s the other way around. Happiness breeds success. And leaders who follow Dr. PelĆØ’s lead will have happier employees and, as a result, more successful businesses.”
Quote to Ponder
ā Most people erroneously believe that happiness is an emotion we must wait to experience when certain conditions are met, when in fact, it is more akin to a skill that can be developed. ā
– Dr. PelĆØ from Profitable Happiness
