Here at Find New Customers, Sundays are for learning. It is our tradition.
We curl up with a coffee with my wife and our kids – and the Sunday New York Times (the only day we get a paper paper. Most days we read papers on our iPad2.) And since we consider Sundays for learning, we love to share these outstanding TED videos, so you can learn with us.
If you are not familiar with TED, it is super-smart people sharing fascinating information. This one, by Daniel Goldstein, is just 16 minutes long – a worthy investment of time on Sunday, I think. I watched it and found it fascinating and bet you will too.

http://www.ted.com Every day, we make decisions that have good or bad consequences for our future selves. (Can I skip flossing just this one time?) Daniel Goldstein explains how to use “commitment devices” (Like tying oneself to a mast) that help us imagine ourselves over time, so that we make smart choices for Future Us. He also shows some very cool simulations which show the trade-off between you and your future self.
Monday to Friday, Jeff Ogden is the President of the B2B demand generation company Find New Customers and host of the awesome marketing show, Mad Marketing TV. During the week, Find New Customers helps companies design and deploy world-class demand generation programs – filling sales funnels with ready buyers.
On weekends, he’s a dad, husband and avid (but lousy) basketball player.
