In this post, we discuss the basics of S-Corps, and, in two weeks, we explore what an “S election” means for your business in the long run.  S-Corp basics: First things first, an S-Corp is not really a special business entity – it’s a tax designation provided by the IRS that the…
Speaking at the Deutsche Bank Global Consumer Conference, Unilever’s CEO Alan Jope said: “We believe the evidence is clear and compelling that brands with purpose grow. In fact, we believe this so strongly that we are prepared to commit that in the future, every Unilever brand will be a brand with purpose.”  That seems to me to reflect a profound shift in how companies see the roles of their brands and highlights the difference between…

Our summer clerk comes through again to explain why certain Madison venues are the way they are. He may not appreciate all of the great winter activities available in our fair state and city, but he makes up for it by explaining some of our city’s quirks. Summertime is an excellent time (and one of the only times) to enjoy the outdoors in Madison. There is nothing like looking out across Lake Mendota, Lake Monona,…
Alright everybody, file this one under: “Wow, he really likes video games and cartoons.” After my last fun post about Crazy Taxi, I got to thinking about two more great characters from my childhood – Duke Nukem (of Apogee 3d Realms fame) and Duke Nukem (Captain Planet’s radioactive nemesis).
