The Monday Morning Memo

To: Roy Williams
Subject: 3 Days with the Wizard
Roy,
I’ve attached the photo with your glitter puppies on and a link to the first of 3 articles I’m writing about my experience at WA.
You say you don’t like warm fuzzies… so that’s exactly what I’ll do to get you out of your comfort zone. You dubbed me a genius in front of the class so I owe you one.
Thank you for making this last week a(nother) transformational experience. You gave me your first Magical Worlds book in 2001 – the first of many Wizard of Ads books and set me on a journey of business consulting and writing; a passion that has grown into an agency with over 40 staff in two Canadian offices. I attend – many – seminars and workshops by great speakers and between you and Dr. Grant: I’m ruined for the ordinary. I can’t get ZZ Top out of my head.
And if you really do get up at 2am, I may be your first email of the day! I just got back from playing ice hockey – ah, good to be back in Cowtown.
I made an attempt at surprising Broca.
Here is the https://goo.gl/m9x7fd first of 3 blogs about my experience at Wizard. It’s not about anyone reading it; I love writing and use my personal blog as a journal of experiences that I relate back to for inspiration.
If you read it, I’d be honoured to receive some feedback.
I will be back to WA.
Chad Kroeker

Random Quote:

“A drought afflicted most of the 48 states. In the dustbowl, the topsoil of the southern plains was being blown away, and hundreds of thousands of Americans were on the move toward California in search of work. People everywhere were growing impatient. On the right, the American Liberty League, organized by some of America’s most powerful industrialists, charged that The New Deal was only making things worse, that Roosevelt had become a dictator, defying the Constitution, encouraging class warfare. Their best spokesman was FDR’s old ally, Al Smith, the former Democratic governor of New York. ‘The New Dealers,’ he said, ‘were hell-bent on socialism.’ ‘There can only be one capitol,’ Smith said, ‘Washington or Moscow, There can be only one flag, The Stars and Stripes, or the flag of the godless Soviets.’ Some of Roosevelt’s enemies called him ‘that man in the White House’ because they could not bear even to say his name. When someone unwisely mentioned ‘FDR’ in the presence of J.P. Morgan, whose own father had earlier done battle with T.R., Morgan is said to have exploded, ‘God damn all Roosevelts.’ The people among whom he was brought up, an awful lot of them learned to hate him. He seemed to be betraying everything that they had believed, and it just enraged people. On the left, Socialists and a handful of Communists took to the streets, denouncing Roosevelt as a captive of Capitalism, incapable of bringing about real change.”
