Jet.com blasting into e-commerce

June 27, 2016 By

Last Thursday’s event, hosted in Brickell’s Building & Co., brought Jet.com’s Director of Program Management Rick Paster to inform the Miami tech-scene about the company and some key strategies being implemented.

The company has been coined the “Amazon-killer”; however, Paster made the important point that the company does not consider itself a killer or competitor to Amazon, as there is room for many, diverse players in the e-commerce industry. It was refreshing to hear an executive reminding the public that competition and … [Read more...]

IMA event: Terry B. Jones on innovation

June 13, 2016 By

Last Thursday, June 9, I had the pleasure of attending a discussion on innovation and shifting business strategy, led by Terry B. Jones. After a cocktail hour hosted at the NSU Art Museum in Ft. Lauderdale, the talk commenced in the auditorium across the breezeway. I must admit I did not know who Mr. Jones was, but I assumed he must be a marketing magnate, as the talk was organized by IMA. To my mistake and surprise, Mr. Jones is actually one of the founders of Travelocity and Kayak; so in a sense, he has developed businesses that market travel. Mr. Jones is in the business of facilitating the where and the when behind consumer choices, but he discussed the increasing importance for businesses to assess the self-reflexive why that drives consumer decisions. Businesses must break down … [Read more...]

Fishing Day in Florida.

April 4, 2015 By

                                  Dear Friend, Having given your wonderful wife’s comments some considerable thought, I would like to point out one thing. ·         All snook the target of our fishing endeavours, are born male, after they grow to a length of over 30 inches, they transform into females. Only one other species achieves this change, the grouper. ·         Thus, once the fish survives being a male, if it is clever and lucky it becomes a woman. ·         By a miracle of evolution men are born men, women are born women. Being cleverer and more superior, women never get to experience the true joy of being a stupid … [Read more...]
