5 Ways To Win Over A Girl.

I was looking to create a new CD of the best R&B slowjam songs of the 90s era. I know the 80s was known for great rock. But I felt that some of the best R&B slowjams were found in the 90s. It’s hard to find great memorable slowjams today. In my search of creating [...]

Hybrid Friendships: In Business and In Life

I had a chance to sit down and talk to Kady for the first time after some virtual run-ins in cyberspace. She reached out first and it was only natural to reciprocate because I wanted to explore some possible synergies between us. But the other reason to meeting her is that it’s very rare for [...]
