Return of the Charlie Harary Experience

You don’t “meet” Charlie Harary. You experience Charlie Harary.

Charlie Harary is a man of many talents and hats. He is a business owner, attorney, and investment adviser. He is a professor, community activist, and a much sought-after speaker.

What truly sets Charlie apart from the pack, however, is the grace and enthusiasm with which he conducts himself. We are, therefore, super excited to have him return as Emcee for #LTB2015.

Forget About Siri Or Alexa: Try #TheAskCharlieShow Instead

Got questions? You’ll find that Siri will field your fine dining dilemmas, upcoming weather quandaries, traffic jam plights, and standard assortment of day-to-day lifestyle related queries with aplomb.

But try asking Siri how to differentiate your product from the competition. Or how to deal with conflict in the workplace. Or how to go about delegating vital tasks to employees.

I’m willing to wager that you’ll be left staring at the blank screen of your iPhone with an equally blank look on your face. And don’t fool yourself by thinking that Amazon’s newfangled Alexa will be much of a help. There’s a better solution.

Enter #TheAskCharlieShow.

The Best Of Everything: Reading About North Korea On My iPhone At LTB 2015

Did you hear? Apple is releasing the new iPhone 6S soon.

Snore.

Hey. Did you read about Kim Jong Un’s latest rant against America?

Sniff.

Wow. They’re saying LTB 2015 is happening on July 8th.

Boiing!

Okay, you’ve got my attention.

Predictable headlines and banal captions are ideal for topics involving technology geeks camping outside Apple stores in flimsy tents and despotic dictators bent on fashioning nuclear bombs out of paper clips. But when it comes to describing a game-changing movement that has impacted so many lives and helped countless entrepreneurs from our community flourish? Now that’s worth an exclamation point or two.

NYPD Blues: My 5 Career-Saving Marketing Tips For Bill de Blasio

The Big Apple has been turning rather sour lately.

In the most recent showdown between the New York Police Department and Mayor Bill de Blasio, hundreds of uniformed police officers publicly turned their backs on the mayor as he delivered a eulogy during the funeral ceremony of Officer Rafael Ramos.

I’ve spent my entire day listening to acclaimed political pundits from both sides of the spectrum debate the underlying causes of this rocky relationship, argue whether aggressive policing tactics are a concern of reality or perception, and squabble over the possibility of reducing tensions between police departments and the communities they serve.

Frankly, the pacifist in me is getting nauseous.

Let’s Stop the Negativity!

I like posting inspirational quotes on my twitter feed. These quotes often give me a quick boost of enthusiasm and I enjoy passing along that feeling to others.

So it should come as no surprise that I recently posted the following line: “Far too many people have no idea what they can do, because all they’ve been told is what they can’t do.”

It did come as a surprise to me, though, when a prominent media publication reposted the above quote. While I was pleasantly amazed, I was also slightly perplexed. Why would they feel the need to repost a quote from Meny Hoffman? But after thinking about it for a few moments, the answer became obvious.
