“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do.

And you know what… They repeat in the next project… Even if it is evident that the clause will generate issues. Too much grey. Sometimes this grey has advantages within a group of reasonable and experienced people. But unfortunately, common sense is uncommon. I explained the issue. Everybody nodded. And of course… the clause remained…...
I love going to local markets. I tried one this weekend. All vendors shouting: “Try this.” “Taste that.” “Best cheese in town.” “Organic honey.” Everyone fighting for your attention. It’s nice. It feels human. You try things. You buy things. You feel good helping local producers. I love that. But price is sometimes an issue. It’s not cheap. And it can’t be cheap.
