“Stop saying, ‘whoah, I didn’t see that coming,’ because we told you about it long ago!” - Futurist  Jim Carroll ‘’ What a goofy smile! But I’m having fun up there! This photo is from a 3rd repeat booking by a client - a pretty good track record. I’m covering with them a variety of future trends, but also taking a look back at what I told them in 2009 and 2003. It’s obvious some of them missed out on what was coming, given the nature of the change in their business and local economy - but I told them exactly what was coming.
