Mea Culpa — I have been unforgivably remiss in failing to acknowledge and thank those who were so kind to offer recommendations for my professional services, and I am humbled beyond words. Sometimes we are so busy doing what we do, we fail to see our own blessings. I am forever grateful, and hope to remain worthy of that trust and support. “Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.” ― Mark Twain(But perhaps I should have paid more attention to another of his thoughts on business — “for business reasons, I must preserve the outward signs of sanity.”) 🏴‍☠️I'd like to think I'm a real writer. One who writes of important ideas and places them in the context of events so they become more relevant.Eleanor Roosevelt suggested, "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." In polite conversation, this might be true, but one who ignores either the people (especially the necessary leaders) or the events surrounding them, that forms the Matrix of their mostly powerless lives, is decidedly not smart, nor likely to survive very long in the scheme of things.Real writers write from passion. Often a passion for the truth. Not to entertain, but to inspire awareness. Not for approval or fortune, but for the sake of all that's good in the world. Not to sell ideology or dogma, but to sow the seeds of imagination and possibility, and water them to ensure their growth. Writing the truth is the ultimate act of faith - in what is right, what is good – and in the potential for human progress. As a writer and marketing strategist I enjoy the analysis and using my 'old school' perspective to critique the hidden agendas, conspiracies that are more than theories, and the abuse of communications, money and its power prosecuted by those who now fancy themselves unaccountable, globalist demi-gods. I'm always happy to get paid for applying my talents. But this IS work, just pro bono.I've been called 'imprudent' by some. But I consider it a compliment. I came across this quote many years ago and it still rings true. Imprudence, I believe, is this — To "Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible." — Claude Bissell, Canadian EducatorIn the end, my greatest fear, to paraphrase Voltaire, is that I was not imprudent enough. ———————————————————————————Ex-CPG marketing and communications executive with a consistent track record of providing solutions to business challenges and building profitable enterprises.
