Fellow Riskologist, Funny thing about running a blog: If people read it, there’s a whole world of folks who will want to give you free stuff. An audience is a valuable thing and, if you have one, there are lots of people and businesses who will do anything they can to get their name in…
Fellow Riskologist, First, a confession: I used to be terrified of the dark (I was a little kid, gimme a break). I’m over it now, but it was a fear that terrorized me every night before I was forced to confront it. We’ll come back to this in a minute. Each one of us spends…

I’m not a fan of fast food. It’s horrible for you, it doesn’t taste good, and I hate myself every time I eat it. Luckily (for both of us), this story is not about fast food. It’s about a very clever business that built a small empire called right under the nose of its competition….
For nearly three years now, I’ve been a part of the “action team” for this little thing called The World Domination Summit. Maybe you’ve heard of it.
