The podcast of my interview with the poet Taylor Mali is up!
That will be all.

Quick. Name someone who makes husbands happy to take their wives to poetry readings.
Oh sure, that one's easy--because I've been talking about Taylor Mali all week.
Have you checked out his web site yet? Gathered the family around a computer for some of his videos? I dare you to watch just one.
Taylor keeps winning national poetry slams, but that isn't what makes him cool. What makes him cool is what he inspires. He inspires elegance in speaking and writing. He inspires kids to use their heads as they follow their hearts. And he inspires at least one talk show host to make every program sparkle the way it did when he was a guest.
Watch for the podcast soon--and share it with someone you love. They'll thank you. I promise.

Would you like some free advice about your resume? Then please send me your questions by Thursday, February 4th. Career consultant Vicki Brackett will be my guest on The Career Clinic soon after that, and she'll answer those questions during the program. We won't use your name, or anything else that would identify you, on the air.
Vicki's like so many other career consultants who say resumes are an overrated part of the job hunt. Then again, they're still widely used as calling cards--and you'll want yours to sparkle.
Hope we can help!

How do people feel when they're with you? Do their eyes sparkle with delight?
What if the words you spoke to them were the last words they'd ever hear? Would you be at peace?
Benjamin Zander is the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic. You might be inspired by this video I found in a blog by motivational speaker Tim Sanders.
Enjoy!
