One Social. One Market. One Soccer. One news. One Hub.

Since smartphones came into the picture, our appetite for apps has grown tremendously. We are like the proverbial hunter who went in to hunt game and killed so many he couldn’t carry them all home which became his undoing. But that’s a fairy tale right? But hey, don’t take it from me. The consequence of this is that we have to match our humongous appetite with adequate performance i.e. phones which can handle all that multitasking simultaneously and not run out of memory and storage. But is that not the real illusion. You get the new device and you are good for a year and then you are right back where you started off.

Note to business people everywhere, even you casual Californians: Don’t show up for a business meeting in flip-flops, shorts and a hoodie. Like, ever, man. Suit up and dress like the professional you are or aim to be. Because, as the tried-and-true adage goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Bringing your A-game — and prepping your notes and/or pitch or presentation — are only half of the business meeting readiness equation. The other half is simply looking the part. And this advice couldn’t ring truer than when you meet with a prospective client, connection or employer for the very first time.
