Questions I desperately wish were frequently asked
What’s the ideal coffee mug shape?
It’s the Waffle House mug. Unquestionably. It’s 8oz, which is the perfect amount of coffee in one serving so it doesn’t get cold. Its rounded edges are perfect, with thick walls and a nice handle. It is what all mugs should aspire to be
What’s the #2 highest grossing film of 1977?
Oh, how unexpected. It just happens to be my favorite movie of all time: Smokey in the Bandit staring Burt Reynolds. For the record, it should have been #1. Eat your heart out Star Wars.
Have you done a strategy overhaul of a Mom-and-Pop brand and turned them into a global powerhouse?
Yes. Thanks for asking. I invite you to check out my work.
