By Tibor Shanto. One thing that great prospectors have in common, is an understanding that at first contact, we are an interruption. If your email, InMail or phone call is not scheduled, you are an interruption. You are about to cost them 23 minutes of productivity , like it or not.

Walter and I attended a recent Boston Red Sox / Houston Astros game at Fenway Park. It was my first visit to Fenway Park since 2019 and it was exciting to see most of the seats filled. It was exciting to hear all of the fan noise that has been missing for so long but there was one fan in particular that I heard louder than all of the others. Starting in the fourth inning, Timmy, the eight-year-old Astros fan sitting next to me, didn't stop chatting with me for the remainder of the game.
