I’m about to kick off my Men Behaving Badly 2018 world tour. (The first person to tell me “not all men” gets banned for life.) The tour begins in New York City where I’ll be joined by Kate Bischoff to talk about sexual harassment in the art community. Then it’s off to Boston for further…
“Another Ruettimann video?” Yeah, man, another video. I want to relaunch my Punk Rock HR speaking career without calling myself Punk Rock HR. Your interaction (or lack thereof) helps me to understand what works, what doesn’t, and how my fans consume media. It’s also practice. Over the past three years, I’ve worked on consulting projects…
