  1. Terry and David,

    I have enjoyed your comments on the Santa / Coca-Cola history. I have one thing to add regarding Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Rudolph actually did have a commercial origin. He was a creation of Montgomery Ward in Chicago in the 1930s and was featured in the retailer’s marketing and giveaways. This preceeded the song, cartoons, and TV specials.

    Thanks for a great show,

  2. Thanks for the shout out! I was really surprised, I feel like a bit of a celebrity now. As a side note, there’s a typo with my last name in the show notes, but you pronounced it correctly in the show which I appreciate. You’d be surprised how many different ways I’ve heard my name pronounced.

    For the record, that IS exactly how I said “Great Show!”

    Thanks again

  3. Bernie is so right about context. I come from “a breeding nest of lawyers” (to quote my mother-in-law), and from that perspective, you never want anything to be “actionable.” It still bothers me when I hear marketers talking about “actionable ideas.” (Not as badly as when I hear people say “learnings,” though.)
