Wagyu beef in the USA is highly regarded for its exceptional quality, driven by a combination of Japanese genetics, American farming practices, and consumer demand for premium beef.
Here’s why it stands out:
The combination of Japanese genetics with American scale and innovation results in a premium product that’s luxurious yet more accessible than imported Japanese Wagyu.

Book Review by R. Michael Brown, B2B Business Journalist and Copywriter
I really like this book. The most important lesson from Chapter 1 of The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek is this:
Business—and life—are infinite games, and to succeed long-term, leaders must stop playing with a finite mindset.
In this chapter, Sinek contrasts finite games (like football or chess, with clear rules and winners) with infinite games, where the objective is not to win, but to keep playing and evolving.
Business, he argues, is an infinite game—there’s no final victory or endpoint. Yet many leaders mistakenly play it with a finite mindset, focusing on beating competitors, short-term wins, and quarterly results.
Sinek’s key message:
“When we lead with a finite mindset in an infinite game, we set ourselves up for failure. Only infinite-minded leaders create organizations that are resilient, enduring, and inspiring.”
This shift in mindset—from winning to growing, from competing to advancing a Just Cause—is the foundation for sustainable success and purpose-driven leadership.

Don’t check your heart at the door. Ever thought about why some messages really GRAB ATTENTION while others seem to disappear?
Persuasion has been around forever and is mandatory for your business, but you need to understand how it works. It impacts our choices, shapes decisions, and prompts action.
If you want your business to thrive, get a grip on this art. There are only two ways to persuade.
First, at the core lies psychology, particularly significant emotional events like crises… …or amazing great news… …and second, the repeated message strategy, much like ads and commercials.
These two ways can boost your influence on customers, businesses, and government entities.

Did you know that a staggering 54% of viewers suspect brands of “pandering” when local ads feel inauthentic?
This surprising revelation from The Local Lift white paper, conducted by Locality and The Harris Poll in November 2024, highlights a critical pitfall most businesses overlook: authenticity is non-negotiable in marketing.
The study shows 71% of Americans expect localized messaging, with 81% of 18-34-year-olds prioritizing it.
Local video ads far outshine national ones in relevance (68% vs. 13%), trust (47% vs. 12%), and purchase intent (63% vs. 13%). Viewers are 6x more likely to see brands in local ads as community members (63% vs. 11%), forging stronger bonds.
The report underscores the power of combining local streaming, broadcast, and social media video with over 70% of viewers agreeing local ads enhance relevance (74%), trust (73%), and curiosity (73%).
Using local news and sports as part of your marketing campaigns – and regular social posts – are an even better way to localize your content. – R. Michael Brown
