You don't need to diet. I've become bulimic just reading enough garbage blogs (not yours) and podcasts -- it's enough to make you vomit. I get thinner every day just consuming most of the social media junk that passes for legitimate commentary and meaningful insights. Stick to healthy blogs and you'll be ok.
You folks are funny on these blogs ... that's good advice David, getting past the Maverick threshold (or any agency for that matter) takes knowledge, persistence (stalking may help) or cornering me at some function (I'm easy to find!) And yes, my girth of contacts is wide ranging and I only offer up those names to those deserving. After all, getting our first job in the biz was tough and we had to grind it out every day to prove our existence. By the way, I accept all kinds of beverages, but keep the Brio at home.
Nice post! Thanks for reading my blog. You can come and chat with me anytime about the biz or whatever, you can email me, send me a smoke signal, hand written letters whatever .. just don't forget that tea! JULIE
