My father, Ghazi Abdulrahman Algosaibi – poet, technocrat, diplomat, author, novelist, Arab icon – died peacefully on Sunday the 15th of August at 10:30 am in King Faisal Specialist Hospital, in Riyadh. He was surrounded by his wife, his four children, and one grandchild. Of course a blog post like this cannot do my father justice [...] [...more]
Let me start by saying I’m not a rock fan at all. Growing up I’ve heard of this band called KISS, a group wearing make up and heavy metal-style clothes, with a band member who has a massive tongue. I can’t say that I’ve been paying much attention to them, and I don’t think I’d [...] [...more]
I’m writing this feeling jet-lagged and tired, yet refreshed. We got back on Friday from a two and a half week holiday, and I thought I’d share some reflections with you.

A few weeks ago I wrote a popular marketing blog post on how to commit small marketing suicide. In the post I said that a big marketing mistake small business owners make is to copy the advertising of big corporations (also known as big dumb corporations). A couple of days ago I was reading the British [...] [...more]
Welcome to the fourth installment of my video book review series. Today I’m reviewing the book The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Rightby Atul Gawande. Yes, believe it or not, it’s a book about checklists! As mundane as this topic might seem, checklists are actually a very important part of organizing today’s modern chaos, [...] [...more]
Welcome To Krazy Kevin interview Number 20! I can’t believe I’ve been doing them for this long. The topic for this week was How To Sell Anything To Anyone. I admit it, I consider myself a salesman and I’m proud of it! And in this call you’ll hear Kevin and I talk about the basics [...] [...more]
It was a long day today. We buried my grandmother (my mother’s mother). She passed away last Thursday, peacefully, in her bath, aged 89. It was the end of an era for our family. To us she was the perfect grandmother. The kind, little old lady, just like you would see on television. She was great. [...] [...more]
