The 10 Bucket Rule: Your Character’s Currency

You start life with 100 gold coins. Every decision you make spends one. Kindness or cruelty. Gratitude or entitlement. Generosity or selfishness. There’s no neutral—every move funds something. Over time, one side gets rich… and the other goes broke. The question is: what are you funding?

The CTV Alignment Problem: How Misaligned Strategy Wastes Impressions

With all the targeting and frequency controls available today, wasted impressions in CTV aren’t a tech problem—they’re a strategy problem.

The Quiet Cake Leadership Strategy

When I was a kid, many Saturday mornings, my mother would say Everyone, be quiet, I am making a cake. If you make noise, slam doors, or wrestle, it will fall.3 boys, each a year apart, we were loud and reckless, it was total chaos. We all liked cake, so we were on our best behavior, and more importantly, we held each other accountable

That's a wrap, not a RIP.As the football season ends, I'm officially closing out the 2025–2026 season. Regardless of your favorite team, this season was a WIN, not a RIP.

We all know how this goes. Great ideas + poor execution, straight to the media graveyard. Flawless execution + bad ideas, one tombstone over. This note is for my clients, my DSP partners, my SSP partners, and my vendors and it’s a simple one: Thank you all. Several of my largest clients had an outstanding experience running in Monday Night Football all season long , plus every ESPN NCAA Bowl Gazme and even NFL Playoff Games . I am grateful for the opportunity to serve your CTV ads in:...

The 2026 National Championship was a barnburner. GO Indiana! the story behind the game hit me right in the heart.

The 2026 National Championship was a barnburner. GO Indiana! The 2026 National Championship was unforgettable.  My clients ran in-game, and that was thrilling. While the game was captivating, the story behind the game hit me right in the heart. It didn’t happen under the bright lights of the field; it unfolded quietly, far from the roar of the crowd. I am deeply moved by Fernando Mendoza and his family. I’ve never met them; I don't know them. This isn’t about likes or attention. Their story...

CTV Is Thriving. The Industry May Need a Little Relief. Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz. Here’s Why.

CTV is exciting. There’s growth, scale, and momentum. I’m fully committed; I have built my career around it. Even with all the progress, I notice a subtle unease, a little 'agita' in nearly every conversation these days. Platforms, buyers, and sellers might not say it, or even know how to describe it, but it’s there. Let’s talk about the unease in the CTV space. Platforms are feeling the pressure. There’s consolidation, mergers, networks disappearing, and inventory shifting. DSPs, SSPs, and...

Always listen to your client. That does not mean your client is always right.

Always listen to your client. That does not mean your client is always right. Thank goodness my Uber driver listened to me. More on that in a minute. Listening. Leading. And knowing when to check the GPS often leads to the best result. When a client says something that doesn’t quite connect, the worst move is to nod enthusiastically and run with it. The better move? Ask smart, strategic questions.  The answers are usually hiding inside the questions. Have a real conversation. Expand on their...

CTV is in our name—because it’s the only thing we do.

Broadcast Was Safe Until It Wasn’t

Between Christmas and New Year’s, I always take time to reflect on where I’ve been and where the industry is going. Looking back, I’m grateful. Personally and professionally, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve learned from the downs and appreciated the ups. In Media and advertising, nostalgia may be comfortable; adaptation is essential. I remember the era of Yellow Pages, daily newspapers, and double-digit prime-time TV ratings. All powerful in their time, all gone today. Holding onto what...

2026 Isn’t About Resolutions. It’s About Alignment.”

Happy 2026. Maybe this is the year to live a little larger and a little louder.  (Within your means. With respect for others. No need to become “that neighbor” who owns a leaf blower and a grudge.) Consider prioritizing experiences over stuff. Trips, meals, music, long conversations. Those age beautifully. Most “stuff” just ages… into a closet, a garage, or a storage unit you swear you’ll clean out someday. Love more and love deeper. Tell the people closest to you that they matter. Often....

The Chef’s Mindset in CTV Advertising. If you wouldn’t eat the dish without knowing what’s in it, why would your clients?

I didn’t start cooking because I dreamed of being a chef.I started because I wanted to know exactly what I was putting into my body. Every ingredient.Every spice.Every source. CTV today demands that same mindset. Instead, the marketplace is crowded with “chefs” who’ve never stepped foot in the kitchen. The Pressure Cooker: Why Real Expertise Is Disappearing This isn’t about laziness, it’s structural. Large media companies are sprinting toward digital, putting enormous pressure on sales teams...

Love what Nielsen Gauge says. Strongly dislike how Nielsen Gauge gets there. Streaming now holds 46.7%

Top line first: November 2025 Nielsen Gauge  shows streaming at 46.7% of all TV viewing . Broadcast drops to 23.2% . Cable slides to 20.5% . That headline matters. Streaming clearly wins. Full stop. Now the part that drives me nuts. Nielsen’s methodology muddies the water. They take linear viewing that happens inside streaming apps  (VMVPD) and credit it back to the original broadcast or cable source. Straight from Nielsen: “Linear streaming (as defined by the aggregation of viewing to...

Urgency Meets Purpose. My Bike is Covered in Dust, but the Fight Against MS Isn’t. MS Never Takes a Day Off. My Training Starts Now.

Let’s talk priorities. I am good at sorting urgent from important: my wife, my son, my clients, my friends. But I have a blind spot, and maybe you do too: ourselves. I try to hit the gym, eat healthy, and stay focused. But honestly, "self-care" usually falls to the bottom of my priority list, right next to organizing the junk drawer (which will never happen). Right now, reality is slamming into me like a freight train. Bike MS 2026 is on March 28th, a deadline that's now only 110 days away. I...

Netflix purchasing WB, here’s the angle no one seems to be talking about

Everyone’s busy making predictions about Netflix buying Warner Bros. Here’s the angle no one seems to be talking about: What does this actually mean for the DSP ecosystem? Netflix just inherited a mountain of premium inventory. The real question is, will the content library grow? Of course it will, people are already watching it, and there is consumer demand.  The real question is, who gets a seat at the table now? Does Netflix open the doors to more DSP partners? Do they tighten the pipes...

Half Full, Half Empty, How about just It is a Half Glass.

Is the glass half full or half empty? This is not a trick of just turning the glass over.   Heading into a new year, here’s the better answer: it is a half a glass. For decades we’ve treated “half empty” as pessimism and “half full” as optimism. Honestly? That whole debate was a full of it! The year ahead doesn’t need clichés, it needs honesty, accountability, and real action. If something needs to be said, say it, and say it clearly.  If something needs to be done, do it. Don’t wait for...

Forecasting superstars? Excel can’t do it. People prove it.

I have been glued to football lately, not just because the season’s heating up, but because this is the stretch where the truth shows up. The big contract players either earn their paycheck or get exposed. The overlooked guys, they rise from obscurity and deliver like Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence, Daniel Jones, Drake May (a new face and doing great)_. Over the last 3 weeks, I have seen some amazing one-handed end zone catches from players I have never heard of. Take last...

Keep things simple, clean, consistent; that is a winning strategy.

Facebook and MySpace launched around the same time, MySpace in August 2003, Facebook in February 2004. One is now an afterthought. The other dominated the social universe. Why? What made one platform soar while the other nose-dived? Structure. Facebook kept things simple, clean, and consistent . MySpace let users customize everything with HTML/CSS. fun in theory, a disaster in reality. Pages became chaotic, slow, and hard to use. Facebook delivered one unified experience and won. (I don’t...

Hard truth. Local advertisers may not be receiving full value when purchasing traditional local TV station programming. It is not fraud; it is a measurement issue.

There is a significant disconnect in local broadcast advertising right now, and it’s creating a value gap for advertisers. It stems from a measurement issue that is rarely discussed and not fully understood: current local ratings measure programming content, not commercial delivery. As local stations adapt to the digital era, they are rightly distributing their content across FAST platforms like Samsung TV Plus, Tubi, and Pluto to maintain reach. The challenge arises in how that viewership is...

Watching the NFL on Sunday hit me with a big realization- we’re living through a changing of the guard

Just like the shift from traditional TV and cable to CTV, the story is the same. At first, nobody saw it coming, then it was underestimated, then dismissed, and now? It’s the clear leader, redefining the entire playing field. Look at the 2025 NFL season. Who would’ve predicted that teams like the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, and Chicago Bears, recently the league’s doormats, would be sitting on top of their divisions? Or that rising threats like the Jaguars, Seahawks, and Panthers...

Do you remember the TV Guide?

Last night, while my wife and I were cooking dinner, my wife asked, “What’s on TV tonight?” I told her, “Anything you want.” (I knew we were watching TNF on Amazon). It hit me right then, after 40 years in the Cable and Broadcast business, I no longer knew what was on when (CTV spoiled me). I used to memorize the program. I could tell you what aired on any Network 8-11 p.m., without even blinking.  Viewing was rigid.  Appointment TV was a real appointment.  We actually had to wait a week to...

Potential changes for over-the-air (traditional) TV and possibly radio.

Potential changes for over-the-air (traditional) TV and possibly radio. October 28, 2025, The FCC approved an accelerated transition to ATSC 3.0 by allowing broadcasters to set their own conversion schedules from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0. This does not mean broadcasters will stop ATSC 1.0, it just means they have the ability to stop.  ATSC 3.0 is not backwards compatible. That means if TV stations in your area switch, viewers will have to buy new equipment, such as a new television or A converter...

From Convincing to Commanding: The Evolution of CTV Advertising

It’s been a wild ride in CTV advertising and honestly, it’s been a blast. In what feels like just 9 FAST years, the conversations around Connected TV have completely transformed. I remember the early days when our biggest hurdle was convincing people that cord-cutting was real and that streaming was more than a fad. We were busy proving relevance & sharing stats...  Then came the education phase. We were introducing buyers to an entire new galaxy of platforms: Pluto, Tubi, Sling, Fubo, and...

CBS Pulls Plug On Late Show With Colbert, Citing It Was Purely Financial. No Successor Planned. Are Fallon and Kimmel Safe?

July 18, 2025 It was just announced that The CBS Late Show with Stephen Colbert is cancelled for 2026. CBS is not replacing Late Night; they are exiting the late-night business.  Jimmy Kimmel has a contract through 2026.  Jimmy Fallon's contract runs through 2028.  Gutfeld is dominating late-night talk show ratings. I am not sure of his contract dates.  CBS is stating that the decision to cancel Colbert is purely financial. They said it is not based on the show's performance. Just my opinion,...
