So mini blog time. Just finished interview with Greifeld at his party. Dinner in Chami's Pub (it means Chimney in English) in Davos, Switzerland, drinking a Feldschlosschen (local beer) with my partners in crime, Jill Woerner (producer extraordinaire) and Lori Bullerdick (photojournalist/best photographer on the planet)!!!! Nothing like a local beer, a cheeseburger and some potato skins to make up ... read more

Good Morning! So we made it. Night two in party central. Wow!!! That's all I can say. After the visit to the local pub (my favorite spot thus far), we made our way back to the Hotel Belvedere for the McKinsey party. As soon as we arrived in the lobby (where everyone congregates) I had another one of my is-this-me-or-am-I-dreaming moments? Seriously. I was in awe. First up, Michael Dell, the ... read more

Ok so I've tapped everyone of my guests today for more gossip and I've got some new snippets that I know you'll like. First of all, at McKinsey's party last night, Steve Schwartzman of Blackstone (BX) dancing on the dance floor with Jeff Rosen, one of the partners of Lazard Freres. Larry Paige of Google (GOOG). Think I told you that earlier. No sleep. Losing my mind! Oh and how could I forget? The ... read more

Yesterday was my first day back to work after Davos and as promised here are few of my first impressions of Davos and the World Economic Forum. 1. It is hard work! I'm not sure that I believed CEO's and political leaders when they said they work really hard in Davos and have little to no down time. It's the truth! They do work incredibly hard and their days are fully booked. In fact, in some ... read more

Hi guys! It's me. I'm back. Forgive me for the hiatus over the past couple of days. There was a lot to catch up on and prepare for in anticipation of my trip today to Phoenix. It's now 5pm and I'm about to lift off. So the good news is the iPod Shuffle is working. This time it should make for a smoother flight. What is it with me and these marathon trips? Davos, Switzerland and now Phoenix, ... read more

Just arrived in Phoenix, and we're sitting on the runway. You know me and my luck! The flight was delayed a couple hours. It's almost midnight Phoenix time and the person meeting me for hair and makeup is scheduled to be at my hotel room at 2:30am. Yeah, that's right! My poor producer Yvette, she's a worry wart. She's definitely having a panic attack. That's why we love her. She's one of the best ... read more

OK. So day one on air is behind me. First of all, it is FREEZING! I had no idea and was clearly not prepared. It was about 30 degrees and I plopped down in my seat in front of the stadium at 4:30 a.m. Phoenix time and remained seated until 8 a.m. Uggggg!!!! The crew that's with me is amazing! Lance, Pete, Ben, Jessie, Craig and Matt. What an awesome group of guys. They gave me their space heaters ... read more

Wow! What a day. It's almost 5pm and we haven't had a minute's rest. I just interviewed former Super Bowl MVP and Hall of Famer John Elway. That interview will be on Money For Breakfast Friday morning (6-9a.m. EST). What an amazing guy! Did you know that he went to Stanford and was an Economics major? Did you also know that he was drafted by a Yankees Minor League team in the very early 80's? Five ... read more

The baby arrived. It's a girl -- Madison Sienna. My brother and sister-in-law are parents. So exciting!!!!! We finally have a girl in the family!!!! Woo-hoo!! Finally, I can buy pink! (I have three boys.) What a morning. This business is awesome. So excited to hear about MSFT's bid for YHOO. Who knows if the deal will happen and if it will the perfect mix of cultures, but there are a lot of ... read more
