Hi all,

I’m scheduled to be on Chicago Tonight tonight on WTTW-Channel 11.  They’re doing a piece called “Pieces of the Past” and I was interviewed about the old silent film studios.  Don’t blink or you’ll miss me.  The show is on between 7:00 & 8:00 p.m., and I’ll probably be on in the second half hour.

Sorry for the short notice but I just got the news!

Best,

Arnie



With Super Tuesday moments away, I’m doing some campaigning for my candidate of choice. I’m making phone calls, sending emails, starting conversations…but not with clients and business colleagues.

It’s tough to decide when (or if) to share my politics with folks in business. I have close business colleagues who are my polar opposites politically, and we get along great - we have many spirited discussions about the tough issues our nation faces, on personal and professional levels. So I find myself leaning toward sharing my political views with colleagues.

But with clients, I feel like it could be a turn-off. OR it could be something that they’re attracted to, if we share the same views - or acknowledge and respect each others’ differences.

So…I’m left with this question: Should I share my political views with clients and colleagues? Or is it inappropriate? What is an appropriate occasion for sharing my views? I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
