The Boom After the Pandemic to Fix Our High Touch Lives
You see it everywhere you go today as yes, we begin to go again today. And whether you are a germaphobe or not, all of us are taking note of one thing as we escape from the isolation of “quarantine life” and return to living outside our own four walls.

Going International? Not So Fast
Introduction It’s one of the most iconic scenes in the history of movies. In the 1967 movie, “The Graduate,” a very young Dustin Hoffman is taken aside at a cocktail party by a middle-aged, successful looking businessman. The elderly gentleman takes it upon himself to give the very young central character career advice. The tip for the young graduate to lead to a successful career, riches, and yes, a good life is simple: “one word...plastics.”

Are We Doing Enough Demarketing in the Face of the COVID-19 Threat?
Introduction Quick, name a doctor? Odds are that these days, the first name most folks would say would be Dr. Fauci! And that’s very reasonable, as in the wake of the global COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci has become perhaps the face of this historical event - being both the Director of The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and an influential member (and perhaps the most influential member) of the President’s Coronavirus Task Force and a constant on all our screens. For many Americans, Dr. Fauci has become the most trusted expert in this uncertain and worrisome time, even as every TV doctor - from Dr. Oz to Dr. Sanjay Gupta seems to be on all day every day!. And when epidemiology is suddenly on all our minds and in the news well, it is the news - 24/7, America seems to have found - and seems on the surface at least to be listening to - this most prominent of epidemiologists.

Searching for Health Info, Products and Hope on the Internet in the Time of COVID-19
Introduction What did we search for online in regards to health info, medicine, treatment options and yes, products that may - or may not - really help us in the midst of the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic? In short, Americans - scared, quarantined, and with plenty of time on their hands - used the Internet a whole lot (in the best academic term this expert can muster) while they began to face life in isolation and lockdown in the face of this epidemiological Black Swan event!

What We Want Online During the Pandemic, And What That Says About Us
Introduction Today, we have pretty much become accustomed to the idea that Internet giants like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix and more know everything about us - perhaps even more than what we would like to admit to ourselves. These indispensable Internet giants make gazillions of dollars based on being able to not just manage this data for their own use, but to also be able to tell advertisers what sites we visit, what we search for online, what we buy online, and what video content we watch. And for the most part, we have come to accept the Faustian bargain that this represents to us as we trade off our anonymity for the convenience that these tools give us in our lives.

The Post-COVID-19 Business World - Part 2: RestaurantsTop Story - April 2020
NOTE: In the first article in this series (The Post-COVID-19 Business World — Part 1: Overview), we sketched out the very changed world that all of us are living through presently as we cope, both individually and as a society, to the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic. We set the stage for examining how the business world in general will change in what will be the post-pandemic environment to come (and yes, it will!). We believe that it is critical that companies across the board, from the largest corporations to small, local businesses develop strategies to succeed in the post-pandemic environment.

The Post-COVID-19 Business World - Part 1: Overview
We are all living today through what history will undoubtedly look upon as nothing less than a watershed event. Yes, the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic is exacting a terrible toll both around the world and right here at home in the United States. Sadly, the projections only get worse each and every day on how many will be infected and how many will die from this disease outbreak. In 2020, we have all been sadly reminded that, as the great musical philosopher Jesus Jones sang about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism, that yes, “the world could change at the blink of an eye…”
