I announced on my social media pages last Thursday that I have a new challenge on the horizon–early stage prostate cancer. The good news is, I am fully confident that everything is going to be okay (EGBOK!) because my primary doctor made the diagnosis last week very early on in the beginning stages of the cancer,...
In this video, I talk to my friend Vince Vigneri, one of the most effective networkers in the U.S., about the difference between networking and networking effectively.

Back in 1994 I authored the first edition of The World’s Best Known Marketing Secret. I was out promoting the book and trying to get bookstores to carry it. Back then, one of the ways to do that was to go to book stores and do what I liked to call “drive-by signings” (what can I say – I’m from L.A.). A fr...

Many of you know that I was on the Today show a couple of weeks ago to talk with Kathie Lee and Hoda about my new book, Business Networking and Sex (not what you think). Some of you might like to hear the “real” dirt on what Hoda and Kathie Lee are like off camera. Ready for it?? It’s really juicy!...
It was truly an honor to be interviewed on the “Today” show last Tuesday (2/21/12) by Kathie Lee and Hoda. It was such a great experience that I’m going to post a blog next Monday about the interview and what happened behind the scenes. For now, I’d like to share the 4-minute video clip of th...
I recently received an unsolicited e-mail message from a man named Chris. The message stated: I watched the “video for International Networking Week and… I found it personally offensive and amateurish. I just thought you would like some feedback. Consider that when you make your presentation on the Today Show [...
