Jordan Peterson is all over my Social Media lately. The first time I saw him, he was being interviewed by a very aggressive talking head that insisted on putting words in his mouth. He calmy and patiently refuted her again and again.

Where does this come from? The guy travels and speaks all over the place, how does he have time to put together this kind of thinking?
Who benefits most from you having a high “friend” count on Facebook? Hint: not you. The social graph is what people are selling. It’s a model built to understand […]
I tendered my resignation from the Tavern. Here is what I have accomplished since then:
Re-started my Marketing Consulting Practice. This is how I help pay the bills, by teaching small business folks what they need to know about social media, email, Facebook and other stuff for 21st century marketing.
