A short time ago I had the idea of doing a series of blogs on my service provider saga - using a troubled marriage as my metaphor.

Yvette Dubel "You Lie!" - the shout heard around the world

No doubt by now you have heard about Rep. Wilson's poor behavior during President Obama's speech. I am not going to chime in on that political discussion although the accusation stuck in my mind but for a different reason. It seems it could have happened at the table of many of the conversations going on about innovation. While many organizations are meeting and discussing "the issue… Continue

The Radical Gardener is a rollercoaster-ride into the badlands of art and advertising featuring Malcolm McLaren, Jonathan Meese, Jeff Koons, Sebastian Horsley, Oliviero Toscani und Dr. Pussy.

Yvette Dubel Keep Moving Forward

Over the weekend I watched "Rocky Balboa" again because my husband had not yet seen it. It was my recollection of two scenes, that made look forward to seeing it again. Like many of the books I read - after I see a movie I often forget much of it. However, this speech from the movie sticks with me - especially on those days or at those moments when I get discouraged. "When you have a dream - you have to protect it" (line from the movie Pursuit of Happiness) Yes, I have had those… Continue
