Read MoreWhen Innovation Doesn’t Matter
A client of mine came to me very excited about how she had improved her website.

I’ve just re-read an article that remains as pertinent today as it was when first published eight years ago. Released by the New York Times, the writer had the guts to ask, “What if it’s all been a big fat lie?” He was referring to the ongoing myth that says low-fat diets are the best…
