Vinyl Picks for 2022

The year began with high hopes for a continuation of the return to normal, or at least something that retained our lower stress levels. I was thrilled to get tickets for the Foo Fighters tour at the awesome Templehof airport. …

The Last Frontier

The following are the thoughts I shared at Greg Schuyler’s celebration of life. He passed in April, was my father-in-law and annual Alaska fishing buddy. Ernest Hemingway once said “A man is never lost at Sea.” No one that I know loved the sea more than the friend, mentor and…

Vinyl Picks for 2021

We finally made it. Back from the brink. Music inspired us during those dark times and welcomed us into the real world again. Some might say that live music equals success, but that’s too low of a bar for this vinyl aficionado. At the end of 2020, I took advantage…

Johnny Cash Was Woke

Hear me out. I don’t have a Ph.D in Johnny Cash. Heck, I just discovered Johnny through his eponymous Live at Folsom Prison album. But after immersing myself in the music, swimming through all the tangled storylines and piercing the surface for air, Johnny Cash was one woke individual! Until…

A Serendipitous Journey

The popular philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “It’s about the journey, not the destination.” A more succinct description of the last sixteen years at cleverbridge, I could not imagine. Today is a destination, not the destination cleverbridge, founded by a team of e-commerce geeks who love solving global business…

Chicago Tribune - Gone Fishing

Twenty-five years ago, after successfully pulling an all-nighter to meet the commitment delivered to Chicago’s front door steps, the Chicago Tribune went live on the internet.

Why are you a three instead of a zero?

During a recent consultant led scoping session, we were asked, on a scale from zero to ten, how confident are we that the project will succeed. One-by-one, our answers ranged from three to six. Clearly a healthy dose of pessimism hung in the air. …

Vinyl Picks for 2020

2020 will go down in the history books on par with 1941, 1968 and 2001 as a year that changed the world forever. In most ways, this was a tragic year. …

Taking a Calculated Risk

It was a Friday. The build up lasted for weeks. After a year of prototyping, building, refining and testing, our Frankenstein creation was powered on directing us on a one-way path in the dark.
