Greg Verdino, of Crayon, tagged me w/ the “8 things you don’t know about me” meme. It’s quite the rage among Age of Conversation co-authors. These are always fun to read over.
So without further ado;
- I had the paperwork in-hand for a two year assignment in Paris when I met my future wife. I didn’t go, but I took her to the City of Lights for our second anniversary five years ago.
- I love Audi. They just make beautiful automobiles.
- I live and die by the calendar on my smart phone – though I’m not that unusual in this regard.
- I started working as a potato picker on a farm that supplied Frito Lay when I was 14.
- I’m addicted to marketing/sales/branding books. I keep them on the coffee table, in every restroom in the house, and usually in the car.
- Occasionally my knee will pop out of joint. It’s quite painful.
- I was born, raised and still live in Kentucky.
- Brendan Fraser invited me to sit & have drinks in the Bellagio a year or so after he starred in George of the Jungle.
And now, I get to pass it on to eight of my fellow AoC contributors…

Thanks for playing along Nick. I am also addicted to marketing books, but between my run-ins with the law and my bouts of accidental arson, I couldn’t possible work marketing books into my list.

I was tagged earlier on, but thanks for the pass, Nick!
I too am addicted to similar books. I have to ask, what’s your favorite marketing/sales/branding book?
My current favorites are “A Clear Eye for Branding” by Tom Asacker and “Let’s Get Real” by Mahan Kalhsa.
How about you guys?
Okay. I cheated. But I’m sorta known for that.
