I used to love April Fool’s Day.
Back when I was in the radio business, we cooked up a new “hoax” for each April Fool’s Day.
One year we announced that the US Government was immediately changing the color of all paper currency to blue, and that all citizens should take their green money to the bank [...]

Not that long ago I was in the radio business.
And I saw the handwriting on the wall that told me radio was in big trouble.

Things got all stirred up here in Ray-land this past week, what with my post about the “gurus”. In today’s podcast I talk about what that was really all about…

Two main topics today:
1. A tool to help you breakthrough to bigger thinking.
