Brand Accretion
With the current credit crunch affecting consumers, small and large businesses many are re-evaluating current spending practices.
I believe protecting the investment in a brand positions a company for growth when we emerge from the current economic funk. Numerous studies show the ROI on brand development over the long haul with higher margins and customer loyalty.

Broken iPod :(
J. Cordle on September 2nd, 2008
After searching through a dozen blog posts about the iPod, I’m convinced my iPod died. The scroll wheel does not work and that relegates you to listening to each song in order because you can only click Music > Artists >
It’s a 20gb 2nd or 3rd generation, monochrome screen. It was a workhorse, I listened to it everyday for four years. I’m surprised the wheel died before the hard drive or screen.
To iPhone, Touch, Nano or Classic that is the question…
Carolina Liar
J. Cordle on September 1st, 2008
I had the pleasure of hearing a band called Carolina Liar in Richmond on Thursday. Wow! Fabulous live sound, energy that blead off the stage. The lead singer was sick, but strung out enough good vocals to establish himself as a credible singer.
I encourage you to check them out in iTunes. I don’t think there is a bad song on the album.
Prison Business Program
J. Cordle on August 6th, 2008
I spent a very brief stint working for a contractor in a prison. It’s a terrible place devoid of hope. Yes, the inmates have done terrible crimes to be placed in prison, but you could never remove their humanity. Some still deserved a chance, but those chances are incredibly difficult.
State/federal prison lacks the kind of personal accountability needed to lift out of the cycle of crime. This is where churches and non-profits can step-in. Behavior takes a long time to change, sometimes it’s easier to jump back in to the same crowd after leaving the system.
I came across this program and really think it’s a great idea. The results have been stellar.

Start-up School
J. Cordle on August 2nd, 2008
So being an entrepraneur I’m always interested in hearing from those that made it beyond start-up to success. 37Signals plays the role of hero for creating and selling web-based software. In this video one of the founders discusss their philosophy on starting and growing a company.
I resonate with a couple of points - most signifcant, focus on the Fortune 5,000,000 - that is very much our strategy with Worship Relay.
Life without VC’s can be good. You can run a good business without pesky investors and still be successful. There is more to life then being at the office and waiting to enjoy life until the big day is a waste.
Focus on what’s important in the beginng, in my case I have a limited number of hours I can devote to my businesses. However, this keeps me focused on only the most essential tasks to get the business up and running.
Looking for Beta Testers
J. Cordle on July 14th, 2008
We’re wrapping up the first wave of development on our newest product, Worship Relay. Know a worship pastor that could use some help staying organized each week? Drop us a line with the church name and approximate size of the worship team. We’ll be emailing invitations at the end of July/early August.
