Q & A with Contrarian Effect Co-author Elizabeth Marshall

Posted in the Category of Books and Q&As

While Michael Port was busy on stage this afternoon at the annual Inc. 5000 conference in Washington DC, his co-author Elizabeth Marshall took a few minutes to do a Q & A with me. Michael and Liz have just published The Contrarian Effect.

Q: Is it true that you and Michael considered titling the book The Costanza Effect? I'm a huge Seinfeld fan so that might have worked for me.

Posted in the Category of Events and Social Media

I just spotted Tim Ferriss in gray sweatshirt and jeans running up the stairs at the Inc. 5000 conference. Meantime, hundreds of suited entrepreneurs, whose companies are being honored, obediently rode the escalator next to him.

35-year-old Google co-founder Sergey Brin started a blog named Too yesterday. It's on Blogger, of course. MInimalist design of white type on a black background (which I find hard to read). Too is a play on "two" and on the fact that the blog is about his life outside work. In his first post, titled LRRK2, he writes movingly about his mother's Parkinson's Disease, his wife's personal DNA analysis
