This month, in the August issue of Design007 Magazine, we unpack the intricacies of PCB packaging. Over the past 60 years, packages have continued to shrink. The transistor outline “metal cans” of the 1950s would look out of place today. Some packages are no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence, complete with their own “inhalation warning.”

It’s Only Common Sense: Be the Solution, Not the Problem
03/10/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseIn life and business, you’re either contributing to the problem or the solution. Customers come to you because they have a challenge, a pain point, or a problem that needs solving. The businesses that customers rave about consistently prove themselves to be problem solvers. Adopting a problem-solving mindset isn’t just good for your customers; it’s the key to building loyalty, standing out in the marketplace, and growing your business.
Don’t Rush: Get ‘Acclimated’ With Each Level of SI
02/27/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007During DesignCon, I met with Al Neves, the founder of Wild River Technology, and a serious fly fisherman as well.

Like climbers on Mount Everest, these engineers need to spend more time getting “acclimated” at base camp before heading for the summit.
It's Only Common Sense: Maximizing the Five Stages of Your Trade Show Exhibit
02/26/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseI have been advocating for trade shows for years. I know they’re not cheap. Booth space, travel, hotels, promotional materials, and time away from the office can add up quickly.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Trying to Be Perfect—Progress Over Perfection

But here’s the truth: Perfection is a myth, and it’s a dangerous one at that. In our pursuit of the perfect product, the perfect pitch, or the perfect plan, we often find ourselves paralyzed. We are unable to act. The reality is that progress—not perfection—is what drives success. Let’s talk about why.
It’s Only Common Sense: Why Honesty is Your Best Sales Strategy
02/10/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseOne of the biggest myths in sales is that you need to bend the truth to win customers. Over the years, I’ve seen countless companies try to sell the impossible, promise what they can’t deliver, and gloss over their mistakes. These tactics may get you a quick win, but they won’t keep customers coming back. If you want to build a sustainable, thriving business, honesty is the only policy.
