?? The sting of failure. The silence of being benched. The moment you realize—you weren’t ready. In a candid story from his early career, David M. Schneer, Ph.D./CEO/Author/Speaker recounts a moment that every researcher (and leader) dreads: losing control of the room, the narrative, and the client’s confidence. It was a turning point—not just in how he prepared, but in how he approached complexity. The lesson? Preparation isn’t optional. It’s foundational. This story isn’t just for researchers—it’s for anyone who’s faced a setback and vowed: Never again.

Electronics and Wine? An Unlikely Pairing. The Merrill Research Story. Technology and wine might seem an incongruous pair at first glance, we’ll admit, and If you didn’t know us better, it would be easy to think of us as an anomaly. But these two industries have more in common than you might think, starting with the concentration of each as an industry in Northern California. From our headquarters in San Mateo, we’re literally well-positioned to share the deep expertise we’ve developed over the last three-plus decades in both domains, so to speak—Napa Valley to Silicon Valley. All that said, we’ve learned as market researchers that the electronics and the alcohol industry also share some big similarities as do the techniques we use to help solve their problems. Merrill Research was founded in 1986 to serve the needs of high technology, healthcare, consumer and services companies. We provide a unique blend of research, marketing and industry-specific know-how. Today, Merrill Research is one of the most experienced independent custom marketing research companies in Northern California. Merrill offers a wide array of global, multi-methodological research services, both qualitative and quantitative.

This is my story. After a brutal Christmas Eve attack in my own home in 2015, I have endured 5 major spinal surgeries and am now facing more. But for me, there was never any giving up—just getting up. Read how I pushed on to take qualitative research, as Regis McKenna himself said, to the next dimension. Thank you ??
?? What does resilience really look like? Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s raw. And sometimes—it begins on Christmas Eve with a life-changing injury. In this powerful reflection, David M. Schneer, Ph.D./CEO/Author/Speaker shares how a moment of violence became the catalyst for a journey through trauma, recovery, and ultimately—clarity. Not just about himself, but about human behavior, emotion, and the silent drivers behind every story we uncover in research. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to rise—not just return—after adversity, this piece is worth your time.
