6 years ago, this iconic multi-generational family-owned business burned to the ground. In true Italian American spirit, the family has since rebuilt and have been working tirelessly to regain their footing as the world's most famous cannoli company. Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting with my new friends at Artuso Pastry in the Bronx and spent the day strategizing, laughing, and getting creative. This is one of the great American stories of perseverance, family, and an absolute love and passion for what you do, and it needs to be told.

When it comes to your brand's authenticity, you can't just talk the talk. You have to walk the walk. Today's consumers demand it more than ever and they'll see through a bad disguise. You want authenticity? Check out these beauties from my clients over at the legendary in Lebanon Pennsylvania. They've been smoking their famous meats in these wooden smokehouses the same way for over a hundred years. You can almost smell it, can't you? Anyone else have an example of a brand who's got authenticity on lock?

Lately I've been spending a ton of time working with many of my clients on hiring for key positions. It has been very rewarding to see them not only fill these positions but to see them learn the principles and strategies it takes to do so. Above all else, they have developed the patience to not just settle for whatever is available, and to keep searching until the right person appears. I encourage you all to do the same. After all, an A+ strategy in the hands of B- people, is a B- strategy.

So you want that big account but have been afraid to reach out to them?

So you've always wanted to start your own business but have been afraid to do so?

So you want that job or promotion but have been afraid to apply?

So you've got a toxic but high-performing employee that you've wanted to terminate but have been afraid of what might happen?

The answer is simple... Be courageous.

It's amazing how fear can often keep us from making critical decisions but when we finally do, it's magical and we ask ourselves what the hell took so long.

So I had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day about the importance of supporting local businesses vs. big business. After I was done preaching it made me think and I went home and checked myself to make sure I wasn't full of BS. My best guess is that this is about $150 worth of recent purchases just in food and beverages. That may not sound like a lot but imagine if everyone spent $150 every week or two from a local business instead of big corporations? Who do you support?

Could it be? Could you possibly be wrong? Could something actually be your fault? Oftentimes, leaders believe they're supposed to have all the answers. They believe that they are expected to always be right. News flash! No one's perfect. Not even you. The hardest part about being wrong is not admitting it, it's coming to the conclusion that it's okay to be wrong. Once you figure that out, being wrong is easy, very liberating, and the people around you will respect you for it. Give it a try.
