Dialing 8 Things About Me(me)

Ryan Karpeles turned on the lights by tagging me with "8 Things About Me"  I love his #6 and agree, and that's why I offer this of me(me):

Jack 8 Positions You Didn't Know I Held (and each one prepared me for this gig):

  • Preacher - Some people say I'm still a preaching...or a blog-thumpin' evangelist.

  • Cab Driver - I've driven a cab, shuttle, or limo in five states (what a great way to learn a town). I owned my own cab for two years in San Jose. One of the best get-to-know-people gigs around.

  • Baseball Coach - Had two stints as a High School baseball coach. The second one was in a district without any youth baseball program...so we started (and stayed) with the basics. I also was the GM of a Minor League (Class A) baseball team in the late 80's.

  • Sales Trainer - Trained incoming sales staff for a water treatment company. The folks above me didn't quite like that I was teaching more about people than the system, but the results proved successful.

  • Dancer - Did two years (off and on) in small theater. My favorite...Guys and Dolls. This takes lots of teamwork, vulnerability, and transparency.

  • Newspaper Delivery - Now this took some sticktuitiveness! Family matters required a third income...and this grew so much it almost become the main meal ticket.

  • Waiter - My first job was as a dishwasher at 14...and for 6 years, stayed in the food service industry doing a bit of everything. I once placed third in a National Waiters Competition (1st place in my state).

  • Student - Actually, I became a better student after school...and am still a student today.

Now...about these meme/tag things. 

  1. I dig 'em because they allow a business blogger to give a peek into what makes them tick.
  2. I always recommend the weekends as the time to do 'em.
  3. Even if you're not "tagged" - if you like it, just do it.

There ya go...I just tagged ya.
