Recently, I received an email from someone asking if I would be interested in providing PR services for a fundraising campaign he is embarking on. He is doing this because so far, at least, he’s been unsuccessful in securing funding to build a prototype for what sounds like an interesting invention in the energy field. So now he’s turning to crowd-funding.

'We have all been there. Have we ever. The figurative gas can is in your right hand and the match is in your left. With heavy heart and heavy hand you prep to splash the accelerant all over the well structured, painstakingly-built bridge. The smoke from the flaming embers stings your eyes as you triumphantly walk away from the tenuous relationship/partnerships/business venture.

Guest post by Martin Waxman. I remember a time not too long ago when I knew how to do my job really well. I’d get up in the morning, scour the media and go to work, confident that when a client would call, I could help them out. I knew what worked by doing; that is, based on success. Soon I had a proven blueprint I could apply to virtually any situation that came my way, knowing that if I stayed with it, the results would be positive.

Guest post by Justin Goldsborough. Remember that Johnny Dakota “Saved by the Bell” episode? You know, the one that taught us “There’s no hope with dope.”. Thanks, NBC. The more you know… There’s another lesson that can be learned from that episode and it has nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with marketing communications.

Dear You, Well, this isn’t actually a letter from Jamaica, since I didn’t get online at all much (and that was only to share photos on Facebook) while we were there. After we got back,you were asking about the trip, so I figured I’d tell you a little bit about it. First, though – hello! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving (if you celebrated it), and that the last two weeks have treated you well?
