It is often said (encouraged) that you shouldn’t bring up a problem without having a solution to propose for it.

It’s well documented that we live in an instant gratification society.  That has become all too prevalent for me lately in watching how people have started to abuse a platform I otherwise really like and respect (LinkedIn).  And, of course, all of us who use Instagram are witness to it regularly there too.

On Episode 283 of “Now Hear This Entertainment” bass player Eva Gardner talked about playing in a sold-out Wembley Stadium during P!NK’s recent tour.  What might that have been, 50 thousand people?  On the latest episode, Eileen Carey relayed stories of openin

Today is International Podcast Day and the occasion has grown as quickly and largely as the medium itself has.  The creators of International Podcast Day actually coordinate live broadcasts that begin on what is September 29th in the U.S. since time zones make it the 30th in other countries where they’re marking the occasion (since it is international, after all).

If you get interviewed enough times you get plenty of reps to where you’ve got answers prepared for just about anything that gets thrown your way.  More importantly, though, are the questions you’ve not gotten yet and/or those that you weren’t expecting.  How you handle those will say a lot – on different levels.
