Boston College Student’s Get a Lesson in Personal Branding
I feel that personal branding should be the heartbeat of higher education. The logic here is that the sooner you discover your personal brand, the more risks you can take, as well as the easier it is to carve our your career path. Today I spoke at Boston College to some freshman and seniors [...]
Denver-Boston Food & Restaurant Dialogue
My favorite time-waster/time-spender is to check out the latest posts on Chowhound , an online foodie community of people who like to eat out, people who like to cook, people who like to watch the Food Network and various combinations of these likes. I haunt the Southwest Board, where I made a Chowhound pal who turned out to be an "Oklahoma-born, LA/Iowa City/Boston-educated, Denver-based food writer." (She can reveal her name if she cares to, but I won't.) I also went to college in Boston and am now a [...]
Monday News
Christmas has come early for those who favor the college developmental path over that of the CHL, and it has come in the form of an unexpected quote from an unexpected source. Kamloops head coach Greg Hawgood, talking about his 14-year-old son, Logan, who wants to be a Boston University Terrier, is quoted in Sunday's Boston Globe as saying: "Great by me. I want what's best for him, and a lot of people here think I'd want him to go the Canadian junior route. Well, you know, I don't think I'd want him to be a [...]

One Hit, One Miss at China Gourmet
Mixed review of one one dinner at our favorite, informal Chinese eatery. I grew in Connecticut not far from New York City. Chinatown seemed like an exotic land that was just a one-hour train ride and a quick subway ride from home. I went to college in Boston, which has its own small Chinatown. My roomates and I usually went there for Sunday dinner, which was the one meal not available on campus. After graduating, I moved to New York and later across the river to Hoboken , visiting Chinatown often to eat and [...]
An American in Shanghai
Interview by Found | Read, August 20, 2007 We put 10 questions to Jon Serbin to learn what it's like to start a company in China.

You couldn?t package a career much better if you tried. [...]

No, it?s mostly odd because the new Nielsen ?everyone counts? concept doesn?t resonate with people who will watch Jericho Season 2, who once watched The Black [...]
Giving Kevin Kolb the Benefit of the Doubt
By Michael Johns I wouldn't exactly call Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, a good friend, or even a friend at all really. But we share enough in common: the same birthday (September 8th) and a passionate love for the Eagles, which in my case goes back to the age of six or seven, with fond memories of Ron Jaworski and Bill Bergey. Mr. Lurie's history is actually not as deeply rooted in the green and white: he comes from Boston, then headed to Hollywood to run some movie production [...]
