Rob Reid is an author and a serial entrepreneur. He founded the company that created the Rhapsody music website, and his latest book, Year Zero, will be published in July.

At Find New Customers, we dedicate Sundays to learning. We believe you should learn in less than 20 minutes.

In this funny and witty presentation, Jenna McCarthy shares some insights on marriage.

I’ve been married to Kathy for 23 years - my one and only wife, so I thought this helpful. (I do laundry, by the way. And I’m quite slim.) Maybe she’ll even watch it.

Sunday Learning | Why Comp Plans Don’t Work

Almost all executives believe that compensation plans work - pay more for better performance. There’s a flaw however. It doesn’t work.

Dan Pink, New York Times best-selling author debunks some standard ideas on motivation. But instead, ideas like Self-Direction and Autonomy work. People look for Purpose.  Treat people like people and not like horses (carrots and sticks work for horses, but not people.)

Every executive who sets compensation ought to watch this.

This video also matches the research done by Delivering Happiness. The CEO of Delivering Happiness is an upcoming guest on Mad Marketing TV.

Jeff Ogden is the President of Find New Customers and the host of Mad Marketing TV. But on weekends, he is a husband and father as well as an avid, but lousy, basketball player.

Zappos.com built an enduring brand through customer service and company culture, but even more interesting is that they succeeded by using happiness as a business model. Drawn by the notion that anyone can apply the science of happiness to work, communities and our everyday lives, happiness has become the organizing principle behind a new business and now, a movement.

Jenn Lim is the CEO and Chief Happiness Officer of Delivering Happiness, a company she and Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos) co-created to inspire happiness in work, community and everyday life.
