Jealousy is defined as feeling resentment against someone because of that person's rivalry, success or advantages. I think it's only human to be jealous. And I admit to having harbored that feeling many times over my life. However, for whatever the reason, as I get older I seem to suffer those pangs far less often. Maybe jealousy springs from …
Here's how the story came to me. My brother-in-law was waiting in his car on line at his local gas station. Apparently, there is a time honored method to the queue at this particular station. My brother-in-law is very mild mannered, so I imagine that he never expected what was to come next. A car pulled up next to him and the driver rolled down hi …
in the last two days, I ran into Christian Slater, the actor, at Duane Reade and Luis D. Ortiz, of Million Dollar Listing, at the World Financial Center. It always cheers me up to see these "celebrities", when I'm out and about in the Greatest City in the World, New York City. I think its because these successful people are out and about on the str …
This is an audience of people who network. That means you are out in the world every day meeting new people and forging new relationships. But, we all know that the trick in networking is really in building that relationship. We make loads of contacts but how many can you convert to great resources. So, here is my question for you today. Wh …
I received the usual message on my cell phone yesterday, “your voicemail is 90% full.” As usual, I had not listened to a single message. Most often, when I get a missed call on my cell phone, I just tend to call the person back. I hardly, if ever, take the time to listen to their message. So, if you call me on my cell phone and I don’t answ …

I think we might want to start locking up our laundry detergent and making sure we have a password for our WiFi. Sometime last week a naked 28 year old man was arrested after he broke into a north Georgia home through a pet door. He entered the home nude to shower, wash his laundry and to use the owner’s WiFi. The police incident report says th …
On Sunday we will enjoy our fourth annual Battle of the Bands. Each year this musical competition improves and I am proud to say that Sunday's venue is the iconic Greenwich Village Cafe Wha?. Yes, where Dylan and Jimi had their starts. We owe the honor of playing there to part owner William Skody (Co Chair of our Make A Difference Group). Thank …
I can't remember a presidential primary in New York that made a difference. Usually, the nomination is decided well before the New York primary. Not this year. We're actually getting the TV ads, the campaigning, the candidates, even a debate in Brooklyn! I have a premonition, perhaps a concern, that New York will make a difference. We will look bac …
With the Gotham "How To Get Business" seminar just around the corner, I thought these interesting and unique tips were worth a read. From Emily Taylor, Digital Marketing Manager at Tradable Bits: 1. Stalk yourself on social media When was the last time you actually scoured at your own social media profiles? During events, hundreds of people you’re …
All of the food products we buy include a calorie count. Even restaurants now include that same calorie count on the menu. Do those disclosures influence your choices? What if those disclosures also included a visual of how much exercise would be needed to burn those calories? For example, the snack bag of potato chips would include a drawing …
Cayce’s blog from last week inspired me to this blog. While Cayce wrote about the challenges she faced turning her diet around into a healthier lifestyle, I had the opposite challenge. In preparation for a minor procedure I had (I am absolutely fine), my doctor requested that I flip my diet around. I was advised not to eat vegetables, fruits, whole …

From the worldwide resources of Gotham comes this strange but true story. An Austrailian man was arrested yesterday for choosing to put seat belts on his beer and not his children. Now there's a man with a clear priority. The photo on the left shows the actual two cases of beer carefully protected by restraints. Photos of the children were unav …
It is a simple fact that for a network to work, be it electrical or social, it requires connections, be they mechanical or mental. Gotham is a cornucopia of connections which hum day by day around the clock. Of course, one of the secrets of success is to be a connector or go to guy or gal. The formality of this verity is encapsulated in Got …
