The only good advice is trusted advice.

Duh.

Jeff has got it right, here. There is no scarcity of good ideas. No scarcity of content. Value today is found in conversations and relationships. And “Trust is king in the kingdom of conversation.”

Applying this idea of trust to my concept of open source consulting (especially forecasting) leads one to think:

small, not big;
open, not closed;
shared, not owned;
enabled, not excluded.
