Re-branding doesn’t always work

R

You often see companies attempt to convey that they are offering more than just products. Some say they are selling a lifestyle, an image, etc… But when Zappos rebrands itself as a “Service Company that happens to sell…” it has people looking for what “service” it is offering. Are they now leasing shoes? Too far.

Couch to 5K

C

Over the course of college, especially the last two years, I gained a tremendous amount of weight. I tried to stem this by going to the gym, but “going to the gym” meant driving over there a couple times a week and doing half an hour on the elliptical. A lot of things changed once I left school, and, through hard work and a complete lifestyle change, I lost an incredible amount of...

Reboot

R

Blink… It’s back. After a two-plus year hiatus from blogging, I am back in action. When I stopped blogging mid-junior year, I assumed that it would be for good. My old journal was helpful for me in terms of growing. It was an avenue of releasing any feelings I had, instead of keeping them bottling up inside.
