Dear ,

I am surprised by how moved I am by Muhammad Ali’s death.

I find myself glued to the news reports and commentary on his life. It reminds me of how I watched television endlessly in the days following 9/11.

Like my dad, Muhammad Ali was larger than life.

Yes Ali was a boxer.

But more importantly he was a fighter.

Not just in the boxing ring but in life.

Not only for himself but also for those who didn’t have his gifts and abilities.

Ali did it for the issues he believed mattered.

Muhammad Ali crossed through the ropes of the boxing ring. He crossed the lines of humanity.

Ali was a Negro then a black man then an African American, then a man of the world.  Yet we never saw the color of his skin. We stood in awe of him.

Ali was an American. Ali became a citizen of the world.

Ali became a Muslim. Ali became a man of God.

Ali chose his path in life.  Ali took to the media ring for his principles. He objected to the Vietnam War knowing this stand could cost him his boxing career because he believed.

What do you believe?

What small steps can you take to make a difference? What can you do help to those around you and those in the world beyond?

Ali understood how to live.

What will you choose? How will you live?

Thank you for your attention.

Next week, we’ll be back with our marketing advice.

Until then, give some thought to how you want to live your life. I know I am. I hope you’ll join me.

Dream big.


Happy marketing,

Heidi Cohen

A Blueprint for Content Marketing Success

84% of marketers plan to increase their content marketing spend over the next 5 years but less than half have any real confidence such content investments are paying off, based on a recent CEB survey.

Customers delay contact with Sales until they are 57% of the way through the purchase process, which means content must grab customers’ attention and drive purchase intent early on.

It's important to choose the right strategy because if Marketers are not connecting with customers through content, they may not connect with them at all.

Our latest research shows Marketers how to consistently create content grounded in differentiated insights that customers and prospects will value.
