Polo with Friends

Time is a scarce thing and I do my best to steal as much as possible. This last Sunday I managed to play polo, eat brunch and spend time with people who are important to me at the Will Rogers State Historic Park in the Pacific Palisades. It was a fun day for me. Productive, and I was able to give the gift of unpretentious polo (which it should be) to a group of people I care about. I invited my cousin Danny and his son Reno, daughter Mia and wonderful wife who were visiting L.A. I had wanted to meet Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo and Disney producer Todd Liebman, who had both read the book and reached out. I probably wouldn't have been able to see my family or meet these new people if I hadn't invited them all to polo. It was my typical social setting, this one including staff admins, rich horsey people and stable hands, famous singers, etc. all in one happy and excited group. Finally, I always long to see my little friend Dakota, my friend JP's little adorable daughter. She is my sushi pal from way back.

Re: Is being too connected pushing your business forward or back - The problem with social media sites is that you can't just submit more and more links. you need to have friends, and build a social community, this way your friend may become customers, or their friends will be. Friends take time, online and offline. there is no automation to this process.
