In this section, we post essays and comments from good friends and a few visitors.
Chip Bell, Our New Expert on Customer Service and Customer Love
Our philosopher of customer service, and great thinker on life service generally, Chip Bell first taught me that in the world of business or any professional endeavor, "Customer Satisfaction" is an inadequate target. "Customer Love" is the thing to shoot for. And for us, he was the originator of this important concept. He will offer us his thoughts here from time to time.

Everyone Should Be a Consultant
Dave Baggett's Thoughts on Life
Dave Baggett is the philosopher who introduced me to Harry Potter and pressured me to read the first book of that famous series, setting in motion a process where I read each Potter Book available up to 6 times through, wrote an essay for his book, Harry Potter and Philosophy, and wrote my own, If Harry Potter Ran General Electric: Leadership Wisdom from the World of the Wizards, a book initially entitled, Harry Potter and the Meaning of Life. Dave is the editor and author of many great books of philosophy, including the forthcoming Oxford University Press book, Good God.
