About Me
I am an avid student of real world communication. I am fascinated with the phenomenon that separates highly successful people and the bench warmers in life: their ability to communicate well.
I am proud to be a successful sales person, a fan of interpersonal interactions, and a protege hopeful of the world of entrepreneurship.
My name is Daniel Tardy. These are my thoughts.

Just Communicate Ranking 0/5 Stars
The Rooms to Go in Cool Springs has a parking lot that wraps around behind Home Depot and every time I drive by there they have their cars blocking the parking lot. There is a sign that says ‘Service Drive’ so obviously it’s not intended for high volumes of traffic but […]

‘We went green so buy from us now’ seems to be the trend these days in advertising. It’s making me sick. Just shut up and sell your stuff for what it is and you’ll gain more respect. Good article about it over at Ad Age.

I was looking through different photo albums on Flickr and they have a cool mapping feature that shows where the photo was taken geographically. It’s cool but it’s limited to the pictures in that person’s album. I thought it’d be cool to just virtually ‘roam around’ a map and see all the photos […]
A decent now is better than a great later…

We had a new guy start on our team at work today and as soon as we met I asked him if he had lunch plans and offered to take him to lunch. I didn’t prep for it or read up on his personality style report or wait until I had a free day. […]

I’ve decided that I like Yahoo Maps better than Google’s…I’m a pretty loyal fan of all things Google but Yahoo Maps just look cleaner and more like a real map.

You can get a lot done if you don’t care about getting credit.
There are several things that are having a significant impact on my whole company right now that were my ideas and I suggested them to people who were able to execute on them. I wasn’t concerned with getting credit for the ideas, […]
How much is your ball worth?
August 9, 2007 – 10:44 pm
Matt Murphy was the lucky fan who caught Barry Bonds 756th home run ball Tuesday night, breaking a 30-year Major League record. A ball that was worth $16 a few seconds before will now bring .5 Mil.
Question: What’s the difference between a $16 dollar ball and one that Matt Murphy will be […]
