About The Business Bad Boys
A little history behind the Business Bad Boys and this blog:
Jackson was a graduate of retail and fast-food hell, learning first hand from bad managers with bad habits how not to run a business, and always wondered if the CEOs actually had a clue as to how the workers in the trenches were actually executing there orders.
Christopher became interested in the business of broadcasting after trying career in radio, and learning that while DJs can get lots of fame and comps, they don't get paid all that well. His ability to think business freaked out most of the DJs, who only worried when their paycheck was late.
Fate intervened in college, where we two misfits of business thinking were partnered to complete a case study review for a business ethics class. Also put into this group was a varsity cheerleader, the campus quad preacher, and some guy who had weeks ago just stopped showing up to class. Since none of the other team members showed up to work on the project, the two of us got a chance to get to know each other, and realized they we had a lot in common in regards to our views of how much nonsense our professors seemed to be spouting. We also made it possible for the cheerleader, the preacher, and that missing guy to pass the ethics class (Jackson got a date with the cheerleader, and the missing guy was able to score Christopher some 'party favors' from time to time).
After graduation, we ended up at the same marketing firm, and still wanted to drop knowledge on the business world the way we saw it, even if we rarely saw it eye-to-eye. And after more than a few iterations and fail partnerships with others, the two of us are back at it again, this time on this blog. Posting will being within a few days, and you can be free to reach us at bizbadboys@sbcglobal.net.
