I’ve been busy lately, with whiskies on my mind!

First up are two posts on the 3DC site covering my results from round one of aging distillate on my own, followed closely by my notes from the in-progress round two tastes:

Then, of course, in between are my notes on the latest PDXWhisky tasting I was at last weekend:

And coming up this weekend is Stuart Ramsay’s Whisky Academy class on American whiskies being held at the Bull Run distillery in Portland… looking forward to learning more about American whiskies and what is an admittedly very new undertaking for me.

 

Then… as if I haven’t spent enough time around whiskies this month….

The weekend after is the annual Oregon Distiller’s Guild TOAST event where I’ll be enjoying some local drams, as well as craft distillers from around the nation. Always a fun event to discover new and exciting stuff going on… after all, it’s where I met Ted of Big Bottom Whiskey last year who just last month is able to boast a gold medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition! Great stuff to be found at TOAST indeed!

Rest assured, all of this activity means more whiskies related blog posts for the 3DC site, and likely more links over there from this blog 😉

Cheers!

Very cool!

Negativity…

ByJason O'Donnell

Admittedly, this is an odd topic for me to be posting about. This isn’t about overt negativity (though that is a problem as well, just not one I wish to tackle here and now), rather, this is about the passive, subtle, invasive, and far more difficult to accurately identify negativity. Negativity which manifests itself in…

To be provocative, or to be safe? Thoughts on managing digital personas

ByJason O'Donnell

Last week I posted the following to both Facebook and Google+, both with ‘public’ visibility: Sitting in a meeting on “Managing your digital personas”. Not sure I agree with the advice given. I manage one identity and one persona: me. More importantly I think overlapping this way keeps me from being one-dimensional, adds interest across topics,…

Customer service is easy, so why is it so hard?

ByJason O'Donnell

The principles are easy: set the right expectations, then meet or exceed them and your clients will be happy at the least, and become champions for your product and/or company if you’re really awesome. So why do so many companies fail at providing stellar customer service? Because they set expectations to exceed what they are…
