May 25, 2025 Would you pay for local news on Netflix? That’s the question I saw on LinkedIn. Sounds like a win-win. Can you come up with a successful business model?
December 27, 2019 Have you noticed Comcast’s Christmas gift to itself? It’s that time of year again. No. I take that back. A few weeks ago, it was that time of year again. Regular and long-time CohenConnect readers may recognize the Comcast graphic with Santa Claus.

August 27, 2018 Not the typical pet, not the typical vet appointment What a morning, and I hadn’t even gotten to the vet’s office! It was time for Frisky’s first annual physical.
