Sometimes you need to break the rules to feel alive. This is one of those times. Normally, I try to focus “Paul”Cast topics on early career advice but this one is a bit different. This time we’re focusing on an… Continue Reading →
A little alliteration never hurt anyone. The first post in this 5-part series went up on July 25th. It focused on making sure your program design fits with your brand. I can sum up that post with this quote: “Don’t… Continue Reading →
[The following was originally written for an internal company newsletter and then remixed for a blog post on my company’s blog. Below is the raw material I provided to make both of those efforts happen. I thought was worthy of… Continue Reading →
Or is it Part 2 since I posted the intro piece last week? Does the intro count at Part 1? I’m going to say no. The parts are the elements – the Intro/Summary aren’t part of the series. So this… Continue Reading →
