If I combined all this knowledge, it would have to equate to at least a year at a decent MBA program.
I'm really thinking about publishing something or better yet ghostwriting it (since I'm not much a writer). I guess I would have to write-up consent forms which would put a damper on the depth of the conversations, but I think it would be total dynamite on the press.
Any thoughts? Has this been done before?
I was thinking of something similar earlier this evening... while listening to a lawyer on a job interview in the PC at EWR (terminal A). I asked my daughter if she'd like to start writing everything down... a few people snickered.
Speaking of lawyers on cell phones... if you can't help but overhear "privileged" communications can you tell someone? I once overheard a lawyer with a client... guilt was established, names were spoken, etc. (This was on a bus, btw.)
