I love autumn. One of the best things about this time year is going to an apple orchard and picking out blue ribbon apples to go along with home-made donuts. It’s time to savor the fruit of summer’s hard work. For those of us in business, maybe the best way to say it is that …

As a Yankee fan, I am appalled at their post-season offensive performance this year. The Yankee archives have volumes of postseason history but I don’t know if anyone expected a chapter in their storybook where they would set a record for the worst team-offensive performance ever. In the game of baseball, the general consensus is …

Founder, CEO & Chairman of the Board
If you haven’t heard by now, Domo and CEO.com just released a mind-blowing study that found the vast majority of Fortune 500 CEOs are virtually invisible on social media sites. They’re not on Facebook, not on Twitter, not on Google Plus, not on Pinterest—they’re barely even on LinkedIn. That’s just crazy to me on so …

Adam Landefeld
