You are also going to, several times, go WTF? There are coincidences that stretch the credulity to the breaking point, instances and events that simply defy physics and common sense. So what? It’s a blast. Stephen King said in "Danse Macabe," (I'm paraphrasing): "My goal is to terrify. When I can't do that, I will try to horrify, and if that fails... I'll go for the gross out." BL's philosophy seems to be (at least IMHO, having read about 7 or 8 of his books): start with the threat of something really gross and and then make the payoff much worse than you expect. He is a little like the Seth Rogan of horror novelists--there's a good chance a giant demon penis'll show up somewhere in either's work. Dial-in your fees strategy so that you can earn far more than your corporate career (without working more hours)…

In the seventh episode of the season “Elephant,” Elaine is tasked with letting a live elephant loose throughout downtown Los Angeles in an attempt to promote CompWare’s newest hit smartphone game, “Mr. Sang’s Jungle Odyssey.” We immediately see in the season finale that the animal caused catastrophic damage to certain parts of the city and then tragically passed away once it was captured. Mr. Patoff and the entire workforce at CompWare don’t seem to care all that much because any publicity is better than no publicity, right?

Company of One, by Paul Jarvis is a book that was really influential for me when I was starting out. It’s about running a lean business, keeping things as simple as possible, and focussing on delivering value.” But there's something strange about the firm they hire--more specifically, the quirky gentleman who arrives to supervise the project: Mr. Patoff, tall and thin and wearing a bow tie, and with an odd smile that never quite reaches his eyes. Will this terror end any time soon and will Jonathan find out why his brother was killed? In trying to find the answers to this, he also has to protect his sister-in-law and nephew before they are targets of the assassins.One thing Waltz’s turn never is, however, is surprising. When I describe the series and the character for you, you’re getting an instant picture in your mind of what Waltz’s performance is going to be and that’s exactly what it is. For a show that wants to be twisty and unpredictable — a show with basically no supporting performances or characters of note — that’s less than ideal. Now and then, "The Consultant" has moments that achieve its desired grace as an allegory, like one mid-season episode that focuses on a side character who sacrifices so much for Faustian work. A hand dropping one valuable item into fire says a great deal in a fashion specific to the tone that Basgallop and his directors ( Matt Shakman, Karyn Kusama, Charlotte Brändström, and others) conjure. But the same can't be said for the outrageous stuff that follows in the next scene, caught up in symbolism and the show's need for more chaos. If you want to realize your mission with your business, you can’t do it all alone. In The Science Of Dream Teams, Mike Zani teaches you how to find the perfect people for your business — and then, how to optimize your team so that everyone is at peak performance. A must-read for any consultant serious about growing their business with the right people.
