In less than a week, I will have the privilege to travel to sunny Los Angeles and spend a week with fellow Ramblers on a special journey. When I was a freshman two years ago, I went to Seattle for my first Quinlan Ramble. Not only did I enjoy my […]
Five years ago I wrote a commentary in the Journal of Macromarketing about two sides of the same coin. We consume lot of stuff, tons of stuff, and it either gets recycled (side one) or it gets trashed (side two). I would attach my commentary to this note if I could figure out how; I […]

WGN, I have, every summer and at Christmas, been in the habit of putting

As we filled the lobby of the Revere, there were feelings of excitement for the day ahead as well as feelings of sadness knowing that this would be our last day visiting companies. After finishing our briefing about the day ahead and hearing about the company’s facts that we were going to visit, […]

Today was our last day of site visits. We spent the morning visiting KPMG, one of the Big Four auditors.
