"The more people you know, the luckier you will be"

Speaking of being lucky (well, fortunate, really), I had the chance to meet Karen Salmansohn last week in New York. Karen is a real firecracker (hmm, not that I know anything about being referred to in that way) and who I think of as the dynamic author of the cliffs notes of business self-help books on a triple shot latte.

Peter Clayton of Total Picture Radio interviews Karen here. Trust me, she's very entertaining and has a talent for boiling down inspiring concepts into a few words (and some of the words are pretty cheeky too). Some of you may find her statements controversial (language alert for those that are sensitive to it).

"You need a career pick-up line"

"Don't be the Michael Jordan of baseball, be the Michael Jordan of basketball"

Love her and boy, she sure talks fast!

  Wait, is this where we learn what not to say to recruiters?
