    How Bob Moog’s University Games Became the Largest Independent Game Company in the World

    How Bob Moog’s University Games Became the Largest Independent Game Company in the World

    When it comes to running a competitive company, Bob Moog doesn’t play games. Well, actually, he does. Daily.
    Bob is co-founder and president of University Games, the largest independent game company in the world.

    For almost four decades, Bob has gone up against the biggest players — including Hasbro and Mattel — and found a way to beat them at their own game. Pun intended.
    In fact, University Games distributes more products in more outlets and more markets than any other company focused on board games. 
    The company now has six divisions: University Games (board games), Great Explorations (science and learning/glow-in-the-dark products), BePuzzled (puzzles and brainteasers), Briarpatch (preschool games and puzzles), U-Create (crafts and activities), and Front Porch Classics (classic games, built to last a lifetime).
    University Games’ philosophy has always been to offer games that encourage social interaction and imagination through gameplay, with learning sprinkled in to spice it up. 
    Bob’s story will inspire anyone who competes against entrenched giants. He’ll also share the management philosophy that has proven a game winner for just shy of four decades.

    What History Can Teach Today’s Business Owners and Entrepreneurs About What’s To Come

    He’d be the oldest man ever to run for president, even as calls grow louder and louder for him to step aside.
    Joe Biden?
    No, William Henry Harrison, the successful 67-year-old Whig Party candidate back in 1840. 

    Tying yesteryear to current events is Ron Shafer’s specialty. His contributions to The Washington Post’s Retropolis history column form the basis of two of his engaging books, Breaking News All Over Again and the forthcoming A Half-Naked George Washington.
    Now retired, Ron spent nearly 40 years with The Wall Street Journal as a reporter, columnist, and political features editor, based out of Washington, DC.
    On this week’s program, he makes clear that business owners and entrepreneurs can glean a lot of helpful information about where we’re headed if they only take the time to review where we’ve been.

    What’s In a Name?: When You’re Speaking Publicly, It’s Likely More Than You Think

    What’s In a Name?: When You’re Speaking Publicly, It’s Likely More Than You Think

    Most people fail to say their own name correctly.
    Odd as that may sound, Laura Sicola explains her assertion in a YouTube video that is approaching 7 million views.

    Dr. Sicola earned her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in educational linguistics and taught there from 2001-2013. She has more than two decades of experience teaching good vocal habits to executives at companies including Comcast, IBM, and Vanguard. 
    She is the author of Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice.
    As Dr. Sicola explains on this week’s episode, how leaders introduce themselves, whether from a speaker’s podium or meeting someone for the first time one-on-one, will help determine how effectively they convey the messages that follow.
    How well do you articulate your name?

    Andrei Mincov Helps Keep Owners and Entrepreneurs From Missing the Mark - The Trademark

    Andrei Mincov Helps Keep Owners and Entrepreneurs From Missing the Mark - The Trademark

    Each year, roughly 700,000 American businesses or individuals submit a trademark application. That may sound like a considerable number, but Andrei Mincov — a superstar trademark lawyer based in Dubai, says it's far less than it should be.

    Before starting The Trademark Factory, his global consultancy that provides start-to-finish trademark registration services, Andrei worked for Baker & McKenzie, one of the world's largest international law firms. His clients there included Apple, Microsoft, Sun, and Dell, which turned to Andrei to help them avoid the pitfalls of filing and defending their marks.
    Andrei’s client base now includes many small and mid-size companies that frequently do not file formal trademarks or fail to file them for all their brands. That, as he explains, is a significant and potentially very costly oversight.
    Learning about trademarks is not only valuable for every business executive and entrepreneur, but it’s also fascinating to discover the most common trademark landmines and how to avoid them.
