No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.
~H.E. Luccock
As you may well know, a symphony is a composition of diverse elements that must include the ensemble of an orchestra. Orchestras are usually led by a conductor who directs the performance with movements of the hands and arms, often made easier for the musicians to see by use of a conductor’s baton. The conductor unifies the orchestra, sets the tempo, and shapes the sound of the ensemble.
And then the magic begins, with each note emerging from the talented ensemble —carefully woven into the tapestry of a magical performance.
Having presided over this publishing platform since launch circa eight years ago, I fully appreciate what an absolute blessing it is to conduct one of the best orchestras on the planet. Our particular orchestra happens to take the form of master storytellers from around the globe crafting their version of music —extraordinary works of art drawn both from their heads and their hearts. And those are the diverse elements that not only allow us to play such amazing symphonies, but the very same elements that set the foundation for any level of success we have achieved and the recognition now bestowed upon us by the Web Marketing Association, as announced today ⤵︎
We’ve merely built the stage, held the baton, set the tempo, shaped the sound, and provide an audience. All else continues to be delivered today and every day in the form of breathtaking symphonies, so expertly crafted by each gifted member of our very special orchestra.
And for that, we are eternally grateful.
Congratulations to you and Ali Dennis. You’ve created a remarkable platform for all. As a believer I am grateful for the opportunity to give glory to God in whatever format He ultimately provides. We are blessed to be a blessing…..you and Ali emobdy that truth.
Thanks, Mike – we are indeed, blessed!
Dennis, please accept my most sincere Congratulations. What an incredible achievement!
Your dedication and enthusiasm on your way to success are contagious. Thank you for inspiring so many people on your path to victory. Success requires a lot of hard work along with the right attitude. You have used both to achieve great things, You overcame monumental obstacles to get to this place in life, and I am constantly amazed by your persistence and grace. You have shown yourself to be a person of strength, integrity, hard work, and faith, and I commend you on your success.
God has truly gifted you with many talents, and I know He is pleased with the way you have chosen to use them. I hope you will enjoy this amazing achievement with which He has blessed you.
“The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well; and doing well whatever you do…” —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It really warms my heart to see you succeeding like this. Congratulations once again!

There are many ways to say “Thank You” to something great and I just can’t find the words to give. Just simply thank you!
Grateful, Lynn – as our thanks go to you and the rest of our writers for creating masterpieces day in and day out…
You did it Dennis Pitocco..you made it happen. You had the dream and it came true. My continuing praise for you and your dreams..as they say ‘…..And many more!’

Standing ovation with loud cheering, dancing, and jumping for joy jacks for you, Dennis!!!! Congratulations!!! Well-deserved recognition!! And I am Honored to be part of your orchestra! Incredibly grateful, in fact.
So appreciative of your enthusiastic support, Laura. Thank you for continuing to compose such sweet music day in and day out, my friend!
Dennis, CONGRATULATIONS!
I’m so delighted to hear this and feel such joy for all.
Not only is this deserved but it is an excellent recognition for the hard work, many hours, a life dream, a mission to share and do good. It is truly validation and affirmation that when you have a belief and a vision all you need to do is is conduct it. You are the maestro here my friend and the magic is spreading. The music started and the crescendo intensifies. The orchestra has been ignited and the audience is awarded with every response to the baton. You have captivated, motivated, inspired and added to the visions of others. Allowing hearts to move as yours did too.
I am delighted and honoured to be a part of the orchestra. Celebrating with you all. Thank you for the concert to remember always Dennis!
The music that stirs you is etched in the soul, it changes you forever.
Grateful for your very kind words here, Paula – and for your support and encouragement every day. Your positive, uplifting presence is always felt, my friend… “Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.” – Robert Fripp … So pleased that you are front and center in our orchestra, as you possess that magical wine that fills that cup of silence…
Oh wow! Dennis…I am just happy and eternally grateful to be in the orchestra. Not only do you conduct…you gather as well. You find the musician within us and tap that baton…( I always think of the 3 taps of the baton before any piece). As it starts…and only gets better. God handed you a piece of heaven, and you gather others to find it too. Just “thank you” so much my friend🙏
Hi Dennis,
Not to jump on the band wagon but…
Congratulations and a well deserved recognition of what you and your team have been doing for these many years. And thank you for allowing me to be part of this wonderful organization. I know you’ll keep up the great work! Cheers!
Thank you for jumping not only on this thoughtful bandwagon, Steve – but on our publishing bandwagon many years ago. You’ve witnessed all of our blessings my friend while adding so many along the way…
Congratulations Dennis! I hope you and your team are celebrating and ”dancing to the music.” I love the orchestra metaphor. I use it regularly in one of my visualization techniques and also when I am doing hypnosis. It is just lovely!💖
Indeed, Darlene – we’ve been doing the “happy dance” here in Tampa Bay – all celebrating the success of our amazing orchestra with whom we’ve been blessed for many years. Thank you!
Congratulations Dennis! I know your website is top quality and I’m so proud and honored to be part of it. I appreciate your work and dedication to our dearest Freedom to speak and share our thoughts and lives with one another. Here’s to continued success.
Grateful for your support, Laurie – and we look forward to showcasing your novel when the ink is dry. Thank you!
Congratulations to you, Dennis, a maestro in every sense of the word. The accolades keep rolling in because of the clarity and inspiration of your vision, the restless creative spirit you bring to the entire project, and your resolute drive to keep growing. Privileged to be part of the orchestra.
Your kind words matter my friend, as you’ve been part of our journey of rediscovery practically from day one. Thank you, Andre!
Dennis, you are a visionary and excellent conductor of magical conversations. I am grateful for what you do for each of us and for the world at large. Nothing but good can come from this platform you created. Thanks, Kate
So grateful for kind words here, Kate. And thank you for joining our everlasting journey “for good” …
What a well-deserved honor! I’m grateful to be a part of such a wonderful orchestra.
And you play such sweet music, my friend – thank you!
What a “blessing” my dear bro! The late Lawrence Welk (a band leader) who was known for his “champagne music” (with a bubble machine for special effects) would definitely respond to you: “Simply vunderful, vunderful!”
A blessing indeed, brother. Thank you for all that you contribute to our never-ending symphony!
Congratulations, Dennis and team. As always, Dennis, you share the accolades with all. Thank you for being who you are. Ken
How AWESOME is this?! Not surprised at all, friend. You and your team have worked tirelessly to bring this to fruition. I’m grateful to get a front row seat! Hugs to you (and go celebrate this weekend!)
Thank you, Kimberly – Please keep that front seat warm, as there is so much more to come, my friend!
Hi, Dennis.
One of my favorite people is Ben Zander. He was the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic, retired, and was called back to conduct the fledgling Boston Children’s Philharmonic. In his leadership travels, he shares some wonderful stuff; here are a couple of his tidbits for thought:
“The conductor of an orchestra doesn’t make a sound. He’s the only musician who doesn’t make a sound. He depends for his power, and his power is very great, on his ability to make other people powerful.”
He calls attention to what he calls ‘shining eyes.’ One of the cool things about shining eyes is that they reveal themselves on Zoom just as well as ftf. The first thing (and the last) I always do in a Zoom session is look for shining eyes, and the big bonus of Zoom is I can check mine out as well. So he looks at the eyes of his orchestra, and if he doesn’t see shining eyes, he gets to ask himself a question: “Who am I being that the eyes of my orchestra are not lit up?”
Thanks for everything you bring and receive.
Mac
P.S. The latest back2different guest, Ric Gonzalez, is one of the gentlest and most intelligent people I’ve ever met: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1171136
What a thoughtful story here, Mac. We do our best to “not make a sound” to allow our amazing orchestra (including you) to make such wonderful music together… Thank you, my friend!
THank you for the opportunity to be part of this amazing venue you have created.
Thank you Carol – you’ve practically been on this roller-coaster from day one, witnessing our off the rails crashes and our mind-bending ups and downs. We appreciate your support at every twist and turn, my friend.
What an amazing accomplishment Dennis! You never cease to amaze me in the continuous expansion of your vision and bringing together people from all over the world to create such a magnificent platform and community. I am honored to be a part of the BIZ360 family and look forward to seeing what’s next! Cheers! Eileen
You’ve been along for the ride for quite some time now, Eileen – and have delivered time and again some of the finest music out there in the form of your magical prose. We appreciate you as a writer and as a friend… Thank you!
Bravo, Maestro, bravo!
Simply grateful, Jeff – thank you!
