  • What’s Obvious to You?

    When C.C. Chapman and I were writing our book Content Rules, I kept asking him, “Does this have any value?” “Isn’t this stuff that everyone already knows?” And ultimately, “Isn’t this obvious?” Well guess what? It wasn’t obvious. And thousands of book sales and tons of positive reviews later, I finally grok that. Derek Sivers,…

  • With Great Challenge Comes Great Adaptability

    “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. ”  – Stephen Hawking Most of my life I’ve faced one challenge or another.  Nothing special, plenty of people have faced darker roads. A host of them came from making bad choices in the midst of the challenges I faced which lead me not so elegantly to…

  • 4 Steps To Awaken Your Superhero Power

    You are a superhero. My bet is that you can’t leap buildings in a single bound. I have a feeling that you can’t fly. It’s unlikely that you can make yourself invisible. You may have 20/20 vision (or better), but chances are its not X-ray vision. But, you are a superhero. Comic book superheroes possess…

  • The power of realization or Superheros are where you find them

    When I saw human resources’ number come up on my phone display, I knew I’d gotten it, too. After the brief and awkward meeting and requisite paper signing, I headed back to my office, packed up my stuff and took one last look out the 38th floor window at a deserted Burnham Harbor. It was…

  • Making the Jump

    I’ll admit to some bias where Chris Penn is concerned. He and I share a similar purpose in life, I think, even though we approach it from two totally different directions. I’ve always believed in the superhero idea, and this idea of Chris’s rings particularly true: we have superhero powers, but we don’t necessary have superhero awareness.…

  • We All Have It In Us

    It is your fault. That is the simple and blunt answer that far to many of you will never embrace as the truth. We want more. We crave better. We Lust after what we don’t have but someone near does. We are full of excuses and yet we fail to discover the answer. I’ve known…

  • Teaching The Pebbles

    When Mr. Penn approached me, as he had others, with the opportunity to create a guest post for him in his absence, I was initially and naturally quite honored.  That feeling, however, turned like spring weather in the Midwest often does to a horrible feeling of dread.  How could I, far from a professional or even…

    I , (insert name here), also known as (insert Super hero Name here) promise to always use my SuperHero powers for good. I promise I will use the items I’ve purchased here today safely and in the name of Justice.  I promise to remain ever vigilant, ever true. -Required Oath before any purchase at The…

  • Crisis and Motivation

    I’m pleased and honored to guest post over here at Awaken Your Superhero. Chris and I have worked together for years on the Marketing Over Coffee podcast, which has allowed us to hang out with cool kids like Chris Brogan, Mitch Joel, Seth Godin, and David Meerman Scott, as well as the thousands of members…
