Fellow Chicagoan / Clevelander Mark H. McCormack was once my mentor and the most powerful man in sports. He invented the Sports Marketing industry over a handshake with Arnold Palmer… and just a few miles from where I was born in Cleveland a billion dollar empire was formed.

Seth’s post is called Debt, equity and a third thing that might work better. It works like this: You have an idea, a fledgling [...]

With all the talk surrounding the landmark book Free by Chris Anderson, I want to recommend Steve King‘s post “Free isn’t a Business Model, But it is a Business Strategy” on his Small Business Labs blog. I’ve followed the Free controversy myself, and posted about it here on this blog, and here on the Huffington Post, [...]
