I got my son a box of pranks for Christmas (because he loves doing practical jokes). It came with a ice cube with a fly in it, a bloody bandage that lets you pretend that your finger was stabbed through with a nail, and of course, fake poop. When Calvin first got it, I could […]
Better than a resolution
Have you ever set a goal or resolution, only to completely forget about it? (Like the time I set a goal to run a half marathon, only to get distracted… Later, a friend asked me over lunch whether I “finished my half.” I thought he was talking about dessert!) One of the most valuable things […]
Hey! You got egg yolks all over my mattress!
My husband and I want to get each other a new mattress for Christmas because we’ve had our mattress long enough that it’s starting to gross us out. (One way to sell a mattress is to talk about all the horrible skin cells and dust mites that build up over the years… barf!) And now […]
WAY too much traffic.

Once upon a time, as snow fell softly on the roof of a little cabin in rural Arkansas, Todd E. Jones learned his most important business skill at the feet of his two grandpas… how to tell a story. As a digital marketer, Todd uses his storytelling to entrepreneurs and B2B companies improve their […]
Tell your business story from the customer’s POV.
In a couple of days, you might find yourself sitting around the table, eating pie. Your cousin or uncle or nephew will be next to you making small talk, and you mention work. And a look of panic and confusion might sweep across their features… just before they ask, “What do you do, exactly?” Happens […]
The love couch
I don’t want to brag, but the minute I got home from Bootcamp everyone wanted to cuddle with me. My dog was first in line, because he was the first to come thundering down the stairs at three in the morning ready to greet me with licks and affectionate doggy lean-ins. Then came Quinn, ready to […]
