Our Kid’s Narrow View
Due to recent events with my boys, I’ve given extra thought to how they view the world. We know that teens mostly view the world with a very large perspective – their own selfish needs. This is part of their DNA, part of their method to become independent, and as recent brain research has revealed, really part of who they are until sometime in their mid-twenties…hopefully! Running, and a Great CauseThursday, September 12, 2013 Featured guests: Cherylyn Harley LeBon – Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board – for “Political Talk.” Special Guest Drew Izzo from Athlete.com talking about Running and Cancer Dr. Jennifer Weberman (The Parenting Playground) for “Therapy Talk.” Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, Mind if I Whine. But, Drew Izzo is going to tell us about a great charity event we all can support!

No, we are not suggesting that running leads to cancer. But, we are going to talk about how they happen to be related via our guests and our opportunity tonight. We have two really interesting guest-hosts this Thursday, September 12 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET — 14-year-old Winter Vinecki and Drew Izzo of Athlete.com. We also have three terrific prizes for this #DadChat which you can read about at the end of this column. Mind If I Whine?
When our kids reflect our best traits, like my mother would say, we “kvell.” “Kvell” is Yiddish for “beam with pride.” When our kids reflect our worst traits, we say, “You take after your mother (or father)!” It’s hard to see our worst traits coming straight back at us. As my boys have matured into their later teens and one is about to turn twenty, I am seeing some of both – the good and the bad – from me. I can’t blame my wife because she is their step-mom. Darn. Evolution of Technology – Customer Service
In this edition of the Evolution of Technology blog series which is co-written by Professor David E. Weber and myself we take a look at Customer Service. I’ve recently spoken about this on my radio show and I wrote a short Social Media Social Good column that touched on this topic as well. However, Professor David E. Weber and I will now take a look at it through the lenses of the past and present. As this series of columns strives to do, we will remember the way it was and, at least with Professor Weber, those memories tend to be mighty accurate and detailed. I have a hard time remembering what I ate for breakfast. So, forthwith, Professor Weber leads off: Money, Allowance, Bling, and ToysThursday, August 29, 2013 Featured guest: Pam Whitlock of MoneyTrail.net.

That City by the Bay – San FranciscoThe Sallan Boys went to San Francisco for the 3rd time to attend The Outside Lands Music Festival. This is some video from time NOT spent at Golden Gate Park and just enjoying “that city by the bay.” Enjoy the two videos made – so far- from attending this year’s 3-day music festival – A Taste of Paul and The Best of Outside Lands, 2013! |
