--- title: Tim McCarthy & BGF | Blog | Creativity & Favorites (21) description: Creativity & Favorites | This site is solely intended to share my learning in business and engaged philanthropy with like-minded people. Ideally, I will continue to build up my audience through readership and speaking gigs but since I've been writing and speaking for 30 years now, my real intention is just to share my journey.

What I found was so much more. It takes a few chapters to get used to Whitehead’s writing style (perhaps why he’s won two Pulitzer Prizes) but applying such literary skill to a quirky 1960s crime saga is delightful. Lead character Ray Carney is a bit like Walter White in Breaking Bad (good guy going bad) and following his life in three parts is fun.* [Read More **](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/harlem-shuffle-by-colson-whitehead) [![](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/hubfs/Romantic%20relationship%20concept%20as%20two%20hearts%20made%20of%20torn%20crumpled%20paper%20on%20weathered%20wood%20as%20symbol%20for%20romance%20attachment%20and%20exchange%20of%20feelings%20and%20emotions%20of%20love.-1.jpeg) ](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/mardy-grothe) ## [Mardy Grothe](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/mardy-grothe) ** Apr 30, 2022 2:00:15 PM / by [Tim McCarthy](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/author/tim-mccarthy) posted in [Creativity & Favorites](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/topic/creativity-favorites) [** 0 Comments](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/mardy-grothe#comments-listing) ** [Read More **](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/mardy-grothe) [![](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/CUT_Ben_Harper_slideshow-e30eecaa51.jpg) ](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/she-wore-diamonds-on-the-inside-by-ben-harper) ## [She Wore Diamonds on the Inside by Ben Harper](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/she-wore-diamonds-on-the-inside-by-ben-harper) ** Apr 30, 2022 1:57:06 PM / by [Tim McCarthy](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/author/tim-mccarthy) posted in [Creativity & Favorites](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/topic/creativity-favorites) [** 0 Comments](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/she-wore-diamonds-on-the-inside-by-ben-harper#comments-listing) [Read More **](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/she-wore-diamonds-on-the-inside-by-ben-harper) [![](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/hubfs/David-Loy-for-MT-1200x900-cropped.jpg) ](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/david-loy) ## [David Loy](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/david-loy) ** Mar 31, 2022 11:12:57 AM / by [Tim McCarthy](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/author/tim-mccarthy) posted in [Creativity & Favorites](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/topic/creativity-favorites) [** 0 Comments](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/david-loy#comments-listing) ** [Read More **](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/david-loy) [![](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/hubfs/original.png) ](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/the-office-michael-jim-dwight-sales-training-scene) ## [The Office “Michael, Jim, Dwight” sales training scene](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/the-office-michael-jim-dwight-sales-training-scene) ** Mar 31, 2022 11:07:59 AM / by [Tim McCarthy](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/author/tim-mccarthy) posted in [Creativity & Favorites](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/topic/creativity-favorites) [** 0 Comments](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/the-office-michael-jim-dwight-sales-training-scene#comments-listing) Editor’s note:* I did not see this scene when the show was running but ran into it the other day.
