| Hello: Here’s the latest edition of MarketVolt’s Monday Mash-up. We’ll kick off every week with this quick collection of tips, recommendations, observations and other interesting, valuable stuff. Sorry I didn’t send anything last week. I was stuck in the Alaska back-country. The bush plane that was supposed to pick me up was grounded because of monsoon winds. So I spent last Monday dodging raindrops (hard when the rain is blowing sideways) and grizzly bears. More on that story in one of my Wednesday emails. – Tom |

It litters too much marketing copy and prospects see through it. Here’s how to identify and avoid doublespeak…I’m Watching… NBA Star Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Lowe suffers from anxiety and depression. He discussed his struggles this morning on the Today Show. Powerful stuff. I share this because we all have to get past stigmas attached to mental health issues. Those who struggle are better served when they know they are not alone. We all have friends, coworkers and relatives who struggle, and we serve them better when we understand more about what they’re going through. I’m Listening to… John Hiatt, One of the Greatest Songwriters on this Planet John Hiatt is celebrating his 66th birthday today. Never heard of him? You’re not alone.
