The American people do not want to see political stunts become the substitute for actual leadership. If you are going to shutdown the government by rejecting clean extensions, then you should have a good reasons than a rebuke for the people who won a fair and free election. 

The Philadelphia Eagles are keeping the main thing the main thing, which is winning. The path may not look pretty or may be stressful, but so far the results have been what we need them to be. The NFL season is a long journey and some contenders are not as fortunate to be undefeated.  Also, the consolidation of brands was once an appealing strategy for consumer goods companies. Having a strong brand portfolio can help with promotions like the cross overs that Reese's and Oreos recently did. But, we are seeing some of these big mergers start to fall apart.  Experience commentary on week 4 in the NFL, changing consumer tastes, and more in this week's podcast episode. 

 

      Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The people calling for the end of the brotherly shove are endemic of the attitude in our society that prevents people from  ever rising to meet the demands of any challenge. To not push ourselves to be better tomorrrow than we are today. Just because something is hard does not mean that you should avoid or not try to overcome it. There are certain things in life that are defining, separate people from the pack. For instance, people who thrive at negotiating salaries from those who will complain it is too hard and challenging. Why should a good negotiator be punished for better highlighting the impact of his or her experience and performance? Negotiating is a critical skill in any business or work environment, which can be demonstrated in the negotiation of salary.  We should strive to be the best not just a member of the rest. Find our competitive advantages. And not cower into the anonymity in the crowd. All th...

 

    Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. There is nothing more welcoming that going to your local WalMart for basic necessities like toothpaste, toothbrushes, or deodorant. Only to find those items behind a pane of plexiglass that requires an employee with a key to assist you with.  Of course every employee in that area, if you are lucky enough to find one, does not work in that area of the store. Or he or she works there but does not remember where the key is or who was the last person they gave it too. Not a great customer experience.  Not unique to Walmart. I went to a Target in a pretty nice area of New York and band aids were behind the plexiglass barrier. Band aids! Even the store branded ones were behind it. Fortunately for me I was there on a day when they were experiencing high call outs.  I do not consider myself a difficult customer. I prefer to help myself at every moment possible. I certainly do not expect a retailer to embrace and cater to ...

    Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Our Philadelphia Eagles won so we cannot complain too much. The first week of the season is not always telling of how good or bad a team may be over the course of a 18 week season. But it is always good to start the season on the right foot.  Football fans will undoubtedly overreact to what happened this week. They will want change in their teams when they really have not seen the full picture yet. Teams that win in September have a head start, but sometimes get caught and passed by hot teams in December.  The important aspect is whether you felt your team gave a worthy effort and whether the shortcomings are fixable in the season. Some changes cannot be made during the week of a season.  Enjoy our discussion.  There are some of us Eagles fans who are happy but concerned a bit by the close margin of our victory. Based on the media hype, we should have blown the Dallas Cowboys out. But the most important thing...

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The 2025 NFL season has started with opening games behind us. On Tuesday, you will experience our discussion on all the NFL action. Obviously, we hope that this season goes the same as last, but every year is different.  Below, we discuss each conference and who we think will reach the Super Bowl. Also, this year, we pick a MVP candidate. Please enjoy this year's pick episode.  Every year is a different journey. But every year that does not end with a Super Bowl trophy and parade can have major consequences for the team as it is currently constructed.  Depending on where the team feels they are in their roster cycle, there are teams that will end the year with the need to make change. If leaders feel there is no higher ceiling for the group.  Every season is consequential and that is why football is king. The first 2 games have been great and so much more to go. We will discuss the games each week! So stay tuned....
