There’s a lot on our plates right now. We’ve still got Covid going on, the political stage is flaring up in different ways, summer has arrived, and people are going back to work and planning trips – or not. Considering all this, we wanted to ask folks questions about how they’re feeling about some key…
Read MoreStanding in the grocery store line the other day, I overheard a conversation between a father and teenage son about a guy who bought two pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoins back in 2010. At the time, 10K in Bitcoin was only worth about $40. According to the son, if the man had just kept those 10,000…
Read MoreLast month we looked at a LOT of numbers. Lots and lots of data. And sure, the ‘numbers’ are necessary to allocate resources, run statistical analysis, determine trends and their significance and more.

Read MoreIf you’re like us, your entertainment and dining out budget has gone way down and stayed down throughout the pandemic. We miss grabbing a drink with friends, taking the kids out for a treat, or just letting someone ELSE cook dinner for a change. In some ways, people are ready to get back to normal;…
Read MoreWe had August’s ‘In the kNOW’ all planned out. And then, we didn’t. This month we take the NOW in kNOW up a notch -or three. With all that’s happening in the news, we wondered what people wanted to know about, what kept them tuning in and what might influence them to change the channel.…
Read MorePrime Day has come and gone; early this year. And this year, in particular, we noticed other retailers jumping in and riding the Prime Day coattails. There were articles galore discussing the competing Prime Day deals from Walmart, Target and more. And we were curious to know how these other retailers might fare on a…
