Tell someone you work from home and you’re likely to hear them reply, “Must be nice.” In reality, remote work brings on a whole new set of sales challenges. In this Short Attention Span Webinar, two people whose work-from-home experience goes back as far as 1982 provide valuable and instantly-applicable ideas to maximize sales productivity while managing life’s interruptions, barking dogs, and family members who think the “Do not disturb” sign is not meant for them.
Speakers: Bill Farquharson & Kelly Mallozzi

A Printing Press In HBO’s
Gilded Age
|
|
This month, HBO aired the first episode of its widely anticipated new period drama, The Gilded Age. The latest project by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, the series takes a look into the lives of New York’s elites during the 1880s. Without spoiling anything, you may want to keep your eyes peeled for a familiar looking printing press in Episode #4: A Long Ladder.
The Museum has a long history of renting printing presses for film shoots. Over the years, our presses have made cameos in TV shows, movies and commercials. A few past rentals have included Newsies, Seven Pounds, Inception, The Master, Gilmore Girls and American Gods. Even before the Museum existed, Museum founder Ernie Lindner rented presses from his collection for nearly 100 movies and shows. “Every Western needs an editor to kill or printing press to destroy,” Ernie would quip.

Instagram Content Strategy: Create Without Burnout |
|
Tired of creating Instagram content day after day? Wondering if there’s an easier way?
Why Instagram Still Matters for Marketers
Instagram has been going through quite a few changes lately, leaving a few people feeling disenfranchised and left behind. You might be wondering if you should still be using Instagram for your marketing or head over to a new platform like TikTok that’s vying for your attention.
The truth is, even with other social platforms trying to grab their share of our attention, Instagram remains one of the top social media platforms for marketing. Instagram has built a robust platform with tools designed for business use and growth including:
- Direct messaging and automations
-
Engaging content formats such as Stories
- Innovative content formats designed to expand reach such as Reels
- A fully developed audience network and advertising platform
It’s hard to find a social media platform with this many tools already built and fully developed and ready for marketers and brands to take advantage of. Additionally, these tools have been tested and proven effective.

How One Town Keeps India's 500-year-old Papermaking Industry Alive |

Only 17% of electronic waste is recycled. That’s because devices aren’t designed to be recycled. They’re full of tiny, toxic materials that are hard and expensive to break down. But if extracted safely, those materials could mean big money for e-recyclers like Sims Lifecycle Services. We visit Sims’ Tennessee recycling facility to find out why e-waste is getting harder to deal with.
