When watching a soap opera, be it “The Young & Restless” or “General Hospital,” you can return to the show seven months later and it’s like you’ve never stopped watching. The characters are mostly the same and the plot has hardly changed. It’s predictable, comfortable, easy to follow, a little bit exciting — but nothing earth-shattering.

I use my mind to bring together the essence of my personality, experiences, and senses. Our mind is the most fantastic tool to harness creativity. Other creators use similar methods. Regardless of what we use to create, our imagination allows us to envision and bring things into existence. Our mind is a powerful tool that can be used for good or evil. What we do with this power will decide how far we can go.

It astonishes me, although it shouldn't after listening to years of on-air pundits abuse simple English worlds in order to make their points. So it didn’t surprise me that phase one of the January 6 Select Committee hearings had some commentators using the word “hero” despite the fact that many of these Johnny- come- lately “heroes” had supported the lies of the former twice-impeached president for more than four years.

Throughout modern history, each era has featured a tech boom in one way or another.

YouTube is increasingly gaining importance as a social network. Why? YouTube is the second–most-visited website and has the second highest volume of online searches. Those stats alone are worthy of the attention of any marketer.

Colleagues occasionally refer to a harmoniously executed collaboration as “making beautiful music together,” but rarely does the metaphor extend to leadership.

In this digital environment, insurance companies need to arise with innovative marketing ideas to reach and engage their target market. While traditional methods of marketing and lead generation like direct mail and networking events are still popular among insurance providers, they can reach a wider audience effectively using social media.

Social media is also a great marketing platform to build and increase brand awareness for insurance providers. Some insurance companies rely on mascots, some target users with particular demographics and a few connect with celebrities to reap the benefits of influencer marketing.

John provides a deep analysis, particularly timely during the January 6th Select Committee Hearings. This article was originally published in 2020, prior to the Presidential Election.

In my opinion, the January 6 Special Committee hearings accomplished its goals of informing viewers who were not previously closely following the January 6 reporting, and/or forgot about the attempted coup that led to the violent insurrection and loss of life during the certification of President Joe Biden’s election.
