This podcast is about humanity. About good people, about bad people.. Nothing is off limits. Peeking through the keyhole into other people's lives, without shying away from some of the darker corners of our minds and society... Taking a look at the back of the tapestry, knowing that those mostly unseen bits of yarn, however messy or chaotically organized they are, still make up an important and essential part to the whole, and make up the majority of the minutia that at aggregate is this beautiful masterpiece, this human tapestry and mosaic of lives and minds, or whatever humanity and society even is. Conversations with real people to tell their stories whether happy or sad, good or bad, or to just have a discussion about a given topic or topics. Exploring some of the interesting cultures/subcultures that make up the society in which we all live and discussing the topics that are relevant in the world today, or that are totally irrelevant at anytime past or present.

Large account sales is a lost art. Finding (and managing) highly skilled and motivated sales people is often the key to business success.
My focus today is in assisting in the development of successful enterprises by supporting existing management to achieve revenue goals - often addressing the integration and coordination of sales with marketing.
My professional career has spanned sales to major financial institutions, and senior management positions in on several continents with IBM. My experience spans manufacturing joint ventures, independent business units, and integration of corporate acquisitions with the main body of the company.
I established a successful Australia based IT business delivering large scale systems integration in telecommunications and payment systems. Products that we developed are still central to the payments infrastructure in more than 1,000 banks worldwide.
In every role throughout my career, my emphasis has been on transformation -- of a product set, of how the market is addressed, or even to totally redefine the market.
