MOMS – WINNING – HEART BALL May is dedicated to extraordinary people and I wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers in our community. Moms are a special group of individuals who deserve our respect and appreciation. I especially extend my gratitude and love to my mom and my wife Candy and wish them a very special Mother’s Day. Everyone gets behind a winner and the sports scene is heating up as the Panthers took to the NHL playoffs for the first time in twelve years last month, the Heat continue their climb to the number one spot in the NBA and the Marlins begin to get into the MLB season in their new ballpark. Hopefully the new Marlins’ Manager has moved past the initial “Castro” gaff and begins to inspire his players on a path as the other professional coaches have with their teams – to be competitive and win. Unfortunately, the other top item in the news has been the Trayvon tragedy. I could never imagine what his parents are going through with the loss of a child under any circumstances, let alone the ones in this incident. I believe peace is something which is not just the absence of conflict, rather the presence of justice. So, I was glad to see action, albeit delayed, being taken to let our legal system work. I was also pleased to see the sports celebrities in our community taking responsibility towards young people and our society as role models. This was evident when the Miami Heat players dawned hoodies and made markings on their uniforms to stand in solidarity with the apparent lack of justice in this case. Now I challenge them, and all well paid athletes, to do the same for everyday people

struggling with other challenges and injustices in life. This is where trust comes in, which has been the hallmark of mothers worldwide. It is the one element you could count on in life. Unlike the betrayal of false friends, a mother’s trust is overwhelming certain. We may all have varying views of the legal system and it may have flaws, however, it is the best we have and one of the best in the world. So, I hope the people trust and allow the system to work. I also urge those in position of authority, professional athletes and those with the financial where-withall to look back at their mother’s conviction as a role model for their everyday actions. And, if they truly believe in justice, prove it as mothers have throughout time – unconditionally and without fail by doing what is right. Lastly, I encourage everyone to

join the American Heart Association & Patriot National Insurance at the Broward Heart Ball - A Red Heart Affair as we celebrate the culmination of the Heart Society campaign on May 5th. A formal, glamorous sixty’s themed night will feature a live performance by Diana Ross. Again, Happy Mother’s Day! As Always, Enjoy the Lifestyle!

PETS

Those of us who have pets are very familiar with the guilt we feel when our busy lifestyles take us away from Fido for hours at a time. But we might feel a little bit better about the long hours apart if we knew that our dogs were at home watching TV programs that will enrich their lives. At least that’s the premise behind DOG TV (www.dogtv.com) a new 24-hour channel cable TV channel that aims to keep canines entertained for hours. The channel features special programming developed using research from pet behavior experts. The company has worked with animal behavior researchers over the past few years in order to develop its content, aimed specifically at dogs. According to DOGTV, canines are happier when a television is on and the channel has been tested to ensure it captures a dog’s attention. It will be broadcasting three types of programs — calming sections to reduce animal anxiety, stimulating sections to keep dogs entertained and segments aimed at improving their behavior. The Humane Society of the United States has recognized the channel and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has also accepted its techniques. Check out the website and call your cable provider for information on how to subscribe.

Let’s face it, shopping for razor blades ranks right up there with life’s least favorite activities. First, a good blade is very expensive. Second, when you hit your local Walgreen’s or CVS, the blades tend to be locked away making it inconvenient to purchase. Enter, the Dollar Shave Club. This brilliant idea became a viral sensation on the Internet this spring with its fun launch video which challenged men and women to throw away their razors for a “@*#**$ great shave.” The Club not only promises a quality shaving experience, but it also offers a low price ($1, $6 or $9) per month for blades and convenience (blades are shipped directly to your door) every month. There are three types of blades you can order: The “Humble Twin” for $1 per month plus shipping and handling, the $6 per month “Lover’s Blade” which includes shipping and handling and the “Executive” for $9 per month which includes shipping and handling. All of the blades include aloe strips and the Executive features six stainless steel blades with Vitamin E to protect your skin. Visit www.dollarshaveclub.com for more information and to see a fun video which can be a seminar on how to enter a market in a unique, fun and effective way.

JET RUNWAY CAFE VOICESBROWARD.ORG

Voices For Children of Broward County to Host Fundraiser VOICES FOR CHILDREN OF BROWARD COUNTY, A LOCAL NON-PROFIT THAT ASSISTS ABUSED, ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN IN THE COUNTY’S DEPENDENCY SYSTEM, WILL HOST ITS INAUGURAL SOARING FOR CHILDREN FUNDRAISER THE EVENING OF THURSDAY, MAY 10, AT JET RUNWAY CAFÉ IN FORT LAUDERDALE. Voices for Children of Broward County, a local non-profit that assists abused, abandoned and neglected children in the county’s dependency system, will host its inaugural Soaring for Children fundraiser the evening of Thursday, May 10, at Jet Runway Café in Fort Lauderdale. The event will honor a “Voice of Distinction,” Florida State Senator Nan Rich, one of the state’s leading champions of children’s and social justice issues. Senator Rich has extensive experience in advocacy and community service and has worked to improve the lives of women, children and families in her community, the U.S. and Israel. She currently sits on numerous committees including Health and Human Services Appropriations, Vice Chair; and Children, Families, and Elder Affairs. She is also a member of the Board of Directors of KIDS in Distress. “Senator Rich has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of children in our community, and we

14

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

want to honor her as one of Voices for Children’s ‘Voices of Distinction’,” said Amy Goldin, President of the Board of Voices for Children of Broward County. “From establishing the Children’s Cabinet to her bill creating the Statewide Guardian ad Litem Office and serving as one of Florida’s first volunteer Guardians ad Litem, Senator Rich has given a voice to countless children who aren’t able to speak for themselves, and, for that, we thank her.” Voices for Children of Broward County was founded in 2011 and raises funds for the Guardian ad Litem program, which trains community

volunteers who work one-on-one with children in the dependency system. The volunteers advise judges on the children’s progress and make recommendations for placements and permanency. The goal of Voices for Children is to ensure every child in the dependency system is assigned a Guardian ad Litem. “Research indicates that children with a Guardian ad Litem volunteer are more likely to find a safe, permanent home, get more help, spend less time in foster care and do better in school,” Goldin added. Soaring for Children is sponsored by Dreams Incorporated; Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate; AutoNation; Chrysalis Health; Royal Caribbean; Park One; and Peter and Patricia Walker (as of 3/26/12). The event, which is being planned by the Women’s Voices Auxiliary, co-chaired by Arielle Capuano and Michelle Small, will include live jazz music by Urban Gypsy, as well as a DJ, silent auction, raffle, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. Jet Runway Café is located at 5540 NW 21 Terrace at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. For more information on tickets or Voices for Children of Broward County, visit www.voicesbroward.org.

stablished as a premier event of the Broward County social season, the American Heart Association’s annual Broward Heart Ball continues to pave the way for continued heart disease and stroke research, education and community programs. The prestigious, formal gala will be held on Saturday, May 5 at the Westin Beach Resort & Spa, Fort Lauderdale beginning at 6:30 p.m. Following the success of the 2011 event, which attracted more than 400 guests and raised $690,000, guests of the 2012 event can expect the same ambiance, hospitality and entertainment. In fact, the American Heart Association is pleased to announce that American signer, record producer and actress Diana Ross, most famous as the lead singer of the Motown group The Supremes in the 1960’s, will provide live entertainment. Stand- up comedian Frank Caliendo will serve as the Master of Ceremonies and will entertain the approximately 500 guests with a thirty minute act. Patriot National Insurance Group is the Signature Sponsor of the Broward Heart Ball and is graciously underwriting both performances. Steven M. Mariano, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Patriot National Insurance Group, is the event Chairman for the second consecutive year. “All these months later and we’re still feeling the momentum from the 2011 Broward Heart Ball,” Mariano said. “Guests thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of such a notable cause and left the event with memories of a fabulous experience. With superb entertainment again this year, we have high expectations for another milestone turnout and financial success that will lead to greater advancements in the fields of cardiology and neurology. The need is great with heart disease and stroke as the No. 1 and No. 4 killers of American men and women.” Featuring the theme “A Red Hot Affair”, the Heart Ball will

feature a spectacular silent and live auction, with an assortment of unique items and experiences – everything from high-end jewelry to extravagant destination packages to designer home furnishings, sports memorabilia and more. The Chair of the auction is Christine Rosen. Heart Ball guests will enjoy sumptuous hors d’oeuvres during the cocktail and silent auction reception followed by a multi-course gourmet dinner in the grand ballroom. Throughout the stage presentation, they’ll be granted a first-hand glimpse of the importance of the American Heart Association here at home and across the nation. Each year, the Broward Heart Ball unites hearts and hope, drawing together members of the philanthropic, corporate, civic, and medical communities who graciously give from the heart for the heart. “It’s an honor to be associated with such a tremendous organization and such gracious donors who support the mission of the American Heart Association,” said Mariano. “Collectively we embrace the

true vision of saving lives in our community and making the places we live, work and frequent more heart-healthy.” 2012 Broward Heart Ball Executive Cabinet members include: John Brant – Patriot National Insurance Group, Gale Butler – AutoNation, Pablo A.

The organization is the nation’s leader in CPR education and has funded more than $3.3 billion in overall cardiovascular research since 1949 including funding 12 Nobel Prize winners during their careers. Local impact has included research grants designated to area universities including Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, Miami Heart Institute, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Nova Southeastern University, Scripps Florida, South Florida VA Foundation for Research and Education, Inc., and the University of Miami. In addition to working closely with Heart Ball supporters, over recent years the American Heart Association has introduced a new component to the Broward Heart Ball – Heart Society campaign. The

Young Professionals group, known as PULSE, is the backbone behind the Open Your Heart component of the Heart Ball, which is a moment reflective on the mission of the organization through a survivor testimonial. PULSE members have contributed to the campaign and have led fundraising efforts through the PULSE signature event, “The Red Hot Party,” held on March 1. The 2012 PULSE initiative is sponsored by Signature Sponsor, One Beat CPR, and Celebrity Sponsor, Andre Johnson and the Andre Johnson Charitable Foundation. PULSE Chairmen are Romina Sifuentes, Sara Shake, and Jamie Shock. The American Heart Association’s yearlong activities in the Broward County community also include the annual Heart Walk, which has grown to 8,000 people and is held each Spring at Nova Southeastern University, and the annual Go Red For Women Luncheon Celebration & Love Your Heart Workshops, held each Fall with an emphasis on educating women that heart disease

is the No. 1 killer of men and women and empowering women to take charge of their heart by paying a yearly visit to their doctor, eating healthy and maintaining a regular exercise regime. Through Go Red For Women, a public call to action exists in an effort to improve the cardiovascular health of all women. For example, the HEART for Women Act is legislation before Congress to improve screening and treatment of heart disease in women. Nearly 30,000 messages have been sent to Capitol Hill in support of the bill via www.yourethecure.org. The American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines program is a hospital-based qualityimprovement program designed to ensure that hospitals consistently care for cardiac and stroke patients following the most up-to-date guidelines and recommendations Howard Gruverman, Chairman of the American Heart Association’s South Florida Board of Directors, said the workings of the American Heart Association play out each and every day whether at a social event, through local, statewide or federal legislation, at CPR training centers, or in hospitals and other medical facilities. “We simply couldn’t make the end roads we need to make without the support of everyone who joins the American Heart Association in its strategic effort to dramatically improve America’s cardiovascular health,” Gruverman said. The American Heart Association recognizes the following top sponsors for their commitment to the 2012 Broward Heart Ball: Signature Sponsor – Patriot National Insurance Group, and Gold Society Sponsors – Holy Cross Hospital, VITAS Healthcare, The Bonar Family, ATAS Insurance Services, Vikaran Solutions, MCRS, and Colodny Fass Talenfeld Karlinsy Abate, P.A. Lifestyle Publications is the media sponsor and beverages are underwritten by Southern Wine & Spirits. Sponsorship opportunities and table seatings range from $5,000 to $75,000.

Mother’s Day BY JEFF PERLMAN

Struggling for Mother’s Day Ideas—Consider these to enhance mom’s lifestyle “Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.” ~Mildred B. Vermont. While that may be true, it doesn’t mean that you should let Mother’s Day pass with just a peck on the cheek for mom. Your friends at Lifestyle Publications have some other ideas in mind. We have scoured our backyard to come up with unique and classy ideas to surprise mom on her special day.

It has been said that a suburban mother’s role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after. If you’re ’ K Karen Dixon Di off Coral C l Springs S i that th t statement t t t rings i true. Dixon spends her days ferrying her two teenage kids to soccer, music lessons and friend’s houses. She’d have it no other way. “I love the time together in the car,” said Dixon. “No one is on the phone or playing on their tablet—it’s when we catch up on life.” It also helps that Dixon rides in absolute luxury; a loaded Hyundai Genesis that her fiancée got her from Rick Case Hyundai. “With the rims, it looks like a Mercedes,” she says. “People stop me all

the time. As the kids say—and they are the best judges—the car rocks.” Since moms spend their time iin ttransit, Si d so much h off th i ti it doesn’t d ’t it make sense that they should love the car, truck or van they are driving? Of course. So what are some of the hot cars this Spring season? If it’s luxury and utility that mom craves, consider springing for the Infiniti JX35. According to our friends at Lauderdale Infiniti, the JX35 seats seven comfortably and offers three rows of seating. The JX35 has all the luxury trimmings and blends the crossover comfort and efficiency of its smaller FX with the people- and cargo-carrying capability of its larger QX56. Infiniti is ready to take on the luxury family SUV segment with this beauty. If sporty is more mom’s style, consider the amazing Fiat 500, a head turner that retails for less than $14,000. Kimberly Strauss-Bergman of Weston says her Fiat 500 turns heads wherever she goes. “I can’t think of a better gift,” she says. “The car is a lot of fun to drive and more practical than you would think.”

ALLIED KITCHEN HOME AND BATH

Now the worst thing you can do is bring mom a vacuum cleaner for Mother’s Day, but splurging on the actual kitchen and the bath is a sure winner. The kitchen is a family gathering spot and an investment in a dream kitchen will provide years of enjoyment and practical use. Similarly, the bathroom is a sanctuary and a place for pampering and respite. As such, we highly recommend that you consult with mom before springing for major changes. While remodeling may seem daunting and labor intensive, the good news is it doesn’t have to be. Our recommendation is to find a trusted professional to work on designing your dream spaces. One common mistake to avoid: do not act as your own “contractor” to save a few bucks. We scoured local Kitchen and Bath businesses and the common theme was: please hire a pro to avoid costly mistakes. “I tried to do it on my own with a kitchen project and took a bath (no pun intended),” said George who asked that his last name not be disclosed. The Plantation resident learned his lesson when he decided to splurge on his wife’s bathroom.

Pampering is always in style and always appreciated. Let’s start with some pampering for the soul. Nothing relaxes quite like a bath—and here’s where you come in. First, give mom the time to soak. Then make sure the experience is memorable with some scented bath products, like LUSH Bath Bombs. They come in tons of scents and colors which mom is sure to enjoy. We recommend LUSH which has a shop in Aventura. They

“We went to Allied (Kitchen and Bath),” he said. “The experience was night and day and now I will never look to cut corners again. It’s just not worth the time and expense to do it on your own.”

sell an amazing line of handmade cosmetics that have grown increasingly popular with women worldwide. We also highly recommend that you peruse Lifestyle Publications for other pampering ideas—whether it’s a facial, massage, a new outfit or hair style we urge you to indulge. After all, where would be without our mothers?

COULD YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES? I TEST FOR 150 DIFFERENT FOODS AND ADDITIVES.

DR. KENNETH WOLINER Board Certified Family Physician 9325 Glades Road, Suite 104 Boca Raton, FL 33434 561-314-0950 holisticfamilymed.com “I CAN BARELY LEAVE THE HOUSE,” Heidi said, squinting her eyes the entire time. “Perhaps if we turned off the fluorescent lights, you’d be more comfortable. I can see well enough with the light coming through my window treatments.” “Thank you Dr. Woliner. Bright lights definitely make my migraines worse. If you could only fix my IBS with a flip of a switch …” “Tell me more.” “Some weeks I’m constipated, not having a BM for five days or more, even with laxatives. Lately it’s been the opposite; I’m in the bathroom at least ten times a day. My bum is so irritated that I now see blood on the toilet paper each time I go. And the bloating! I can go from being normal to 5 months pregnant in the span of a few hours.” I empathized, “I can see how frustrating that can be. What have your doctors told you?” “The GI looked at me from top to bottom, literally. He said I had acid reflux, so he put me on Nexium. I don’t have Crohn’s, just hemorrhoids

that bleed pretty bad.” “Anything else?” “I had ‘sludge’ in my gallbladder, so they took that out. Didn’t help. The ER thought I had appendicitis, so they removed that too.” “Have you ever been tested for food allergies?” “Like peanuts? I had a skin test that came out normal.” “There are many types of adverse reactions to food, and swelling up due to a nut allergy is only one of them. I was actually thinking about the other things: lactose intolerance, gluten allergy, and intolerances to food and food additives, such as MSG [1].” “Dr. Woliner, I brought you all my old records. If it isn’t in there, then I guess not.” I moved onto my physical exam, “Say Ahhhh.” As I looked into her mouth, I saw this white/yellow coating all over Heidi’s tongue, as well as two canker sores on the inside of her cheek. Heidi’s breath didn’t smell too good either … “I think we have our answer. You’re not digesting your food, you’re fermenting it!” “I don’t understand.” “In addition to our teeth (and a fork and knife), we digest our food chemically, with stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and good bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophillus, etc). Acid blocking drugs such as Nexium interfere with that process, allowing bad bacteria to grow and putrefy your food [2]. The byproducts irritate your gut, causing canker sores, dyspepsia, and diarrhea [3].

Proteins you’d normally break down, are absorbed intact, leading to food allergy symptoms of migraines, arthritis, and depression [4].” “How do we find out what I’m allergic to?” “I start with a blood test for 150 different foods and additives to see which ones are most likely to be a problem, but the gold standard is a ‘Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Food Challenge’ [5]. I want to know for sure you have a bad reaction, so I don’t restrict your diet unnecessarily.” “So I’ll have to avoid some foods the rest of my life?” “Perhaps not. That bad bacteria, ‘Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO)’ is what they call it, causes a ruckus inside your gut [6]. Eliminating the bad bugs, and replacing them with friendly probiotics helps reduce food allergy symptoms [7]. After your GI tract is cleaned up, you may be able to tolerate foods you were previously sensitive to.” In addition to having an overgrowth of Pseudomonas, which happened to be resistant to several antibiotics; Heidi’s tests showed responses to egg white, pork, onion, chicken, milk and coffee [8]. Challenge testing proved that coffee was a false positive, for which Heidi was extremely thankful. A short course of treatment, combined with a pharmacologic dose of probiotics improved Heidi’s bowel movements to two “Class 4-5 Stools” per day [9]. Upon Heidi’s follow-up visit three months later, “Dr. Woliner, you can keep the lights on; I don’t get headaches anymore [10].”

BRANDS BEHAVING BADLY BY: DAVE KUSTIN

DAVE KUSTIN Principal at Element-M www.element-m.com 954-557-7476 info@element-m.com

Brand Behavior and Advertising/ Communication Incongruence, defined as: “A state-of-being; when advertising and/or customer facing communications do not align with the way a company behaves, acts, performs, or provides an experience for customers. This is not a onetime event, rather, it is endemic to the company or organization.” Let’s agree for a second that companies are in fact like people. Meaning, just like people, companies are able to communicate beliefs, opinions, thoughts, and all the nuances that go along with it. And when they do communicate their beliefs, through advertising and other tactics, customers will interpret those communications and act upon them, and this is where the incongruence occurs. When your brand’s outbound communication does not match the experience, you have Brand Behavior and Advertising/Communication Incongruence. Don’t panic, this is curable. Remember, your brand is not one thing; it is every thing. Company name, logo, signage, uniforms,

50

sales pitch, web copy, collateral, titles, avatars, email signatures… you get the picture. Here’s how it happens: your advertising is clever and memorable, your collateral is crisp, your sales person knows the content like a pro, your social media messages inspire action, your wait staff is on point, customer service reps are sublime. Or not. Maybe your company is only doing some of these things well and failing at others. Imagine this for a second. Customer X sees your genius ad for your restaurant, the photography is top notch, the copy speaks to them and they act. They grab their spouse and run to your restaurant and the experience does not match the vision that was presented and promised in the ad. In other words, the brand did not behave the way the advertising suggested it would. This is what kills brands every day. Here’s how you begin fix it. Go back to your strategic positioning statement; a.k.a. your north star. What’s that? This is the r e a s o n you are in business; what you do for whom to solve a need. Find the truth that is your brand and then make sure that truth shows up in everything your company does when it comes to outbound communication and customer touch points. Find the weak links in your brand experience

and retool them to align with your brand’s truth. Take Apple, for example, when you walk into a store everything fits together seamlessly. Everything matches. All of the items listed above (brand is every thing) are in complete alignment. This is what brand owners should strive for, and it is attainable. All it takes is discipline and creativity. The brands that are consistent in everything they do are the ones that win.

WILLIAM ZUPPAS IS A THIRD GENERATION CHEF AND TAKES PRIDE IN CREATING UP TO 10 SPECIALTIES OFFERED ON THE MENU AT IRELAND’S AT ANY TIME.

Ireland’s Steakhouse

A “SPOT-ON” PRESENTATION… BY RANDI PRESS

I love presentations, don’t you? When dining at a restaurant and the server captures my attention with a really special offering, there’s nothing more engaging that will set the tone for the rest of the evening. Ireland’s Steakhouse at the Hyatt Regency Bonaventure delivers multiple presentations throughout the dining experience. Located in the Hyatt Regency Bonaventure, this elegant steakhouse is a local jewel. The warm tones and stylish décor creates a sophisticated but yet cozy atmosphere that allows you to feel relaxed immediately. Glenda, our server for the evening, exceeded expectations with her precise descriptions of Chef William Zuppas signature offerings. Her in-depth knowledge of the wine selection is a compliment to the sommelier who keeps all the servers in the know. Presentations are made tableside. We began with the basket presentation which included pretzel bread with homemade mustard butter, sun-dried tomato crisps with Parmesan cheese and twisted rolls paired with honey orange blossom butter. All homemade, each bite leaving you craving for another taste. Glenda introduced the next presentation; four specific salts offered for use with your entrée. She shared the significance of adding the

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

Mediterranean white sea salt for any use, red Hawaiian sea salt to enhance a chicken dish, the pink Himalayan recommended for seafood and the black Hawaiian Lava for steak. These four sea salts reside in a small orange glass dish divided with scooped areas. After these highlights, we eagerly ordered our appetizers. Ireland’s Steakhouse offers quite a few unique appetizers. The Skillet NY Strip is thin sliced prime NY Strip marinated in a Thai sweet Chile sauce seared on a hot cast iron skillet tableside. There are no words so make sure you try this! The Foie Gras with roasted sweet potato and butternut squash, featuring candied bacon and cherry compote is decadent. This is absolutely a must-have. The sizzling deep sea scallops with sake poached pear and pepper slaw is incredibly delicious and is rivaled by the sautéed wild shrimp with arepas and guasacaca. If you don’t fancy these starters, you won’t be disappointed with the tenderloin carpaccio or the warm spinach salad with homemade apple cider vinaigrette. William Zuppas is a third generation chef and takes pride in creating up to 10 specialties offered on the menu at Ireland’s at any time. A wonderful tableside knife presentation allows you to choose your blade and prepares you for your main entrée. You may choose a traditional

RECIPE ROASTED HALIBUT WITH GOLDEN GAZPACHO & AVOCADO SALAD ANCHO CHILI SAUCE INGREDIENTS » 2 Dried Ancho Chiles » 2 Onions » 1 Tablespoon of Oil » 2 Plum Tomatoes » 2 Raisins » 2 Cups of Chicken Broth » Dried Oregano and Cumin to taste

bone-in Rib Eye or for the more unique alternative, a bonein Filet Mignon ordered rare plus served absolutely “spoton!” The Spinellus, the most flavorful part of the Rib Eye without the bone, will leave your mouth watering. The twin lobster tails made their debut and were sweet, grilled to perfection, and served with vanilla butter. The Alaskan Halibut prepared with rhubarb coulis and potato crust is definitely worth the trip. Preparing for the side dishes was a lobster-lover’s dream. Lobster waffle fries and lobster macaroni and cheese are made with tender large chunks of lobster, cream and cheese. Traditional sides are offered but with those options, live a little and share as the sides are large! Dessert is to be savored! The warm Budini, a flourless chocolate dessert served with fresh berries, toasted almonds and crème anglaise was incredible! The dessert trio is outstanding. Grand Marnier Brulee, Pots de Crème and New York cheese cake will tempt even the most disciplined.

Ireland’s Steakhouse is located in the Hyatt Regency Bonaventure at: 250 Racquet Club Road, Weston 954-349-5656 Bonaventure.hyatt.com Hours: 5:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday

Bill and Eddie were sitting at an outdoor table having lunch. I had run over to the bayside shack right after my downtown lunch meeting to chat with a potential client and then needed to zip out to check on a video production. But I had a couple of minutes before I had to be at the edit so I walked over to say hi. Bill was in shorts and sporting two days of stubble. Ed was in khakis and sneakers. Ed had a beer. Bill was drinking wine. Neither was looking at their smartphones. And did I mention that it was 1:30 on a workday? “Look at the two of you – happy as pigs in mangos, enjoying a beautiful day with nowhere to go. Man, I want to be you when I grow up.” I told them about Starbucks envy. You know Starbucks envy. That’s when you go to Starbucks and see those people sitting there in the sun. Usually they have a bike leaning against their table or they’re there with their dog. They’re reading something on their iPad or thumbing through The New York Times. Not a care in the world and clearly nowhere to rush off to. They remind me of that old poster, “Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.” When I go to Starbucks, it’s usually to meet someone on the run — I’m meeting Marcos at the Starbucks in the Grove at nine or Kim at the Starbucks on 69th Street at two in the afternoon. We’ll grab a cup of coffee or tea, share pleasantries, and then get down to work — exchanging ideas and layouts, strategizing next steps — before we run off to our next meeting. Of course, while we’re meeting we’re fielding text messages and calls, mostly about where we’re going next, who we’re going to meet, and what time we’ll be getting together. But just to sit there and take in the scene, with nothing pressing to run off to… wow. My desires might be simple but that kind of takes my breath away. So anyway, I told Bill and Ed about my fantasy — my Starbucks envy. Ed laughed and told me a story: “I was walking through Coconut Grove one night and there were a couple of guys playing music on the street corner. They had a guitar case out in front of them and a few people gathered around and they were having a great time. I thought, ‘I want to do that, too.’ So I went out and

bought a guitar and have been taking guitar lessons ever since. I’m not so good yet but I’m giving myself 10 years because I want to be just like Turkel.” (Hey wait a minute, that’s me.) Here’s the funny part. Until Ed mentioned that it was me and my buddy he stumbled upon on that street corner, I was listening to his story thinking, “I want to do that, too.” It wasn’t until he mentioned who he saw playing that it dawned on me that I already do that. It’s more than the old paradigm to “be careful what you wish for because you might get it.” In this case, it’s about realizing what you’ve already got, what the perception is of what you’ve got, and what your perception is of what else is out there. The grass is always greener, indeed. And it’s not just a good thing to think about when you’re evaluating your life. It’s also a good exercise to do when you’re thinking about your brand. After all, a brand is not what you think of your company, it’s what your employees and your customers — and your potential customers — think of it. And it’s very possible that those two viewpoints are not in sync. Kodak thought it stood for the finest in photography until its customers cared only about digital photography and Kodak found itself in bankruptcy. Palm thought its brand stood for PDAs until it realized that RIM’s Blackberry and Apple’s iPhone had stolen its market share. And Blackberry, who thought its brand was de rigueur for portable communication in the boardroom, is quickly discovering that its customers no longer agree. Even powerhouse Google, which preemptively purchased YouTube to maintain their superiority in search technology, is concerned that Facebook and the voice-recognition company Nuance, will take their place in both search and ad sales. So whether you’re dashing to a meeting, playing music on a street corner or marketing one of the world’s most important companies, remember that when it comes to your brand, perception IS reality.
