The Sarasota Institute is a 21st Century Think Tank co-founded in 2017 by Phil Kotler, Jason Apollo Voss and yours truly. The vision was to create an institution that had no connection to the last century and would be unrestricted by politics and corporate influence. I wrote about this here Most Washington D.C. […]
The last five months, since America and the world entered into a lock down to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, have been completely unique and devastating. It is time to look back at the forecasts I made during 2020 to see not just what was correct, but to alter and update forecasts as […]
As any aging boomer sports fan knows – particularly if you lived in NYC – that was the signature phrase used by Warner Wolf to go to the sports highlights of the day.

In 2019 I co-authored “Moving to a Finite Earth Economy-Crew Manual” with Bob Leonard. The book answers the question: what can humanity do to successfully face climate change.
