Agreed, fantastic guest. Cora can get away with turning down clients and being very selective because she's spent years building her brand and reputation to command that kind of buy in. I think she's terrific! Anyone who can survive Detroit that long is ok in my book. :)

Great show. Great guest. Great back and forth...Animal being Animal again makes the show dynamic. Of course he feeds on the Guest and the banter of Jerry and the other contributors. Cora Mae could not be rattled...a little flustered, but not rattled. The After Show was cool too.  It exhibited a camaraderie and fun side to it that displays personalities that make the whole experience worth listening to.

I will add that the concept of "old school" or “old fashion” keeps coming up as a negative. I tweeted while the Recruiting Animal Show was live to: @MaureenSharib @animal @Jerry_Albright @1CoraMae Old School is the foundation of New School...Cora be proud! I AM. And agreed with Animal adding: “...old and new meld into the standard that works...”

There is a pervading view with some that the “old ways”, inclusive of the older generation of professionals, regardless of profession, are stuck in some limbo of old thinking. That they (we elders) are out of touch with the challenges of the present. It’s shortsighted and Dumb School thinking to believe that. And yes, there are old idiots--just as there is a crop of new idiots ready to take their place.

New technologies aside—the core values of foundation building, integrity, ethics and an honest days’ work are very “old school”. It's the old school in me that expects, hopes and works for the best--but prepares for the worst.

Today's Recruiting Animal Show is worth listening to again for the entertainment; and again for the enlightenment.
