Words of wisdom

Posted in Coop Scoop, Rooster in the News, Stuff We Like by kikisaxon on October 25, 2010

Rubbing elbows with other branding bigwigs, Fernando’s two cents are captured in this month’s Elle Magazine:

“People now have their personal brands and also work for companies.  Even at the lowest level, kids on their blogs think, Does this choice — this job, this person I’m dating reflect my brand?  The idea that you’ll work for a company and they’ll take care of you for life — that train has left the station.  You have to take care of yourself.”

When is the last time to looked at your Facebook page or Twitter feed as a future employer would?

Pick up the November 2010 issue of Elle and read what the other brand experts quip as well as the feature article about a woman’s education in self-branding.

Rooster Tested: Which is the best mango sorbet? Haagen Dazs, Ciao Bella, or Sharon's Sorbet

Rooster Tested: Which is the best mango sorbet? Haagen Dazs, Ciao Bella, or Sharon's Sorbet

Since the conversation of summer 2010 has been the oppressive hot weather, I figured a sorbet taste test would really hit the spot. Sorbet is great because we get have a sweet treat that’s still (slightly) healthier than ice cream, so it’s somewhat guilt free! So which is the best?
