Companies are not expanding, entrepreneurs are not starting as many new companies and people are simply not in a courageous mood. American ingenuity and confidence is at an all time low. Yet there are a myriad of opportunities that exist during a recession. Because so many companies have gone out of business there is a void which you may be able to fill. A...

To be clear, average has always been overrated. It was overrated a hundred years ago, and it sure is overrated today. Brilliance can be habit forming. Ever notice that it’s the same people that seem to accomplish great things time and again? Early on I just assumed that these people were just plain lucky. I often wondered why I couldn’t be so...

We’ve become a nation of over-sensitive whiners, complainers and race zealots. Seems to me the United States has lost 50 years of progress in the race department over this past year. Media outlets are adjusting quotes, taking out words and entire sentences in some cases, in order for the “story” to imply racial strife (NBC). It doesn’t...

This is the kind of story that gets me excited and ready to embrace whatever comes my way next. Take a few minutes; pour yourself a cup of tea; read Annie’s story below; watch her video and then smile. You can accomplish more than you think you can! Seven year old Annie Clark writes with a pencil wedged between her arms, because she has no...

You can add one more lawsuit to the pile of lawsuits that Apple has to defend on a daily basis. This time it’s the Department of Justice, that’s right the U.S. government is suing Apple over pricing of e-books. The United States has filed an antitrust lawsuit against five major book publishers and Apple, claiming they colluded to raise ebook...

If I had a dollar for every time someone, anyone within the sound of my ear expressed that they were going to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, I would be so incredibly wealthy that I wouldn’t need to work another day in my life! That is of course if money were the only payoff that I was trying to achieve in this lifetime. I was recently in a room of business leaders...

Remember the old adage, ‘Nothing in life is free’, ‘There is no free lunch’ or ‘Everything comes with a price tag’? Some retailers would like to argue that point, but when you drill down you always find a caveat to any “free”  offer. We have all been suspicious of government snooping into the details of our...

Death, particularly when unexpected, is often an abrupt reminder to reassess the priorities in our lives. Allow me to share my Nationally Syndicated Out Loud Minute honoring Andrew Breitbart. It airs Friday, March 2nd on radio everywhere, and can also be heard at MalcolmOutLoud.TV. Your Out Loud Thought For The Day: Breitbart: An Out Loud Voice Silenced On...

You have heard the term Circadian Rhythm and probably understand that it refers to the biological daily cycles regulating sleep, body temperature, blood pressure and digestive functions. But did you know that the human brain contains a cluster of ten thousand nerve cells called the circadian clock which serves as the pacemaker of our mood and behavior? Scott...

Apparently capitalism has become the new whipping post for the republican candidates. Lines have been drawn, you’re either on the team that supports capitalism, or you are a threat to its very existence. Newt Gingrich has been criticized by some in the republican party for his critique of Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital. Some would say that...

You know you’ve just come through a strange year when Time Magazine names their person of the year: ‘The Protester’. The Occupy Wall Street movement has captured the headlines throughout the United States as people continue to voice their opposition to anything and everything. I can sum up our biggest problem today in two words: Personal...

Spirit Airlines has done it again. They are brilliant in how they intertwine current news and culture with a strong and relevant promotion. The publicity they garner is worth so much more to the company than the cost of what they’re giving away in discounted airline seats. You know the story: Blagojevich was caught on tape trying to sell or trade the U.S....
