An Enigmatic Bird
May 23, 2023
A notoriously shy bird, there is still much to learn about the fruit dove but one known fact, as their name implies, is that these avian beauties eat fruit and berries. Native to Southeast Asia and Oceania, ornithologists will no doubt be perplexed when this species starts popping up in North America; however, with vibrant colors provided by mother nature and exquisite details enhanced by the artists at Herend, interest in this enigmatic bird will certainly lure it to distant shores.

We Got Sole 🩴
What Crocs can teach us about gaining new customers and keeping them happy.
May 15, 2023
About 15 years ago, I bought a pair of Crocs sandals in Myrtle Beach, SC. Not only were they hot pink, but the insole was traffic cone orange. My buddies hated them, but oddly others loved them. The sandals were affordable (maybe $20), comfortable, and a conversation starter.

According to last week’s The New York Times' profile on Crocs, I’m one of tens of millions of happy Crocs owners. This happiness is profitable:
  • Crocs’ sales have almost doubled since 2019.
