By Stefanie Hahn As I was teaching a new agent class in one of our offices last week I was stopped by an agent with the following assertion… “Social media is for single people, I don’t need it.” Fascinated, I detour the training for a deeper look inside his mind. After all, Facebook has more than 350 million users – …
By Brian Copeland Watching the Grammys is always a highlight in my year. As a former music publisher with still interest in a few companies, I still get to vote!
