You’re Terrible at Achieving Goals (And Why That’s Okay)

  It’s a new year. 2018. You’re filled with new hope for new beginnings, ready to tackle a brand-new set of goals. Then suddenly, a brick wall. You dust off and review your 2017 goals: Lose 15 lbs. Unfortunately, you gained five. Read 12 books. But you only made it to two. Learn Spanish? Man, […]

It’s nearly 2018, and at this point you’ve no doubt heard of Tesla, the Elon Musk-led company that is disrupting the automotive industry.

The Common Busyness Business Denominator

Everyone deals with it, and everyone deals with it differently. What is it? Stress. If you’re like me, the thought of a stressful situation alone is enough to set your inner freak-out time-bomb ticking.

Moving On Up, Around, & Over

I’m moving on up—I mean… over. At the very least I’ll be around. And that’s okay. Up is a limiting direction—no, really, it is.

I’m a big fan of Steve Jobs. Not just Steve Jobs, the entrepreneur, but also Steve Jobs, the presenter. Jobs sure knew how to control a room.

Tones: Do You Hear Them or Fear Them?

It could have been the worst day. My day started out normal. Dogs out. Coffee. Start the Sunday cleaning. Kids up. Off to the gym. Same old, same old. A text comes in. I don’t see it. I’m living life. I’ve got not a care in the world unless it pertains to not falling on […]

Flux Capacitors and Flexing, Creatively

If I had to guess, I’d bet that I’m 1 of at least 1.21 million people who are a fan of Back to the Future (snaps for the uber fans who picked up on that numerical reference). I didn’t see it in theatres, but I popped in our VHS copy on almost every teenage sick […]

Time Flies When You Work With Good People

They say time flies when you’re having fun. And the infamous, anonymous they certainly are not wrong as a very important milestone has managed to sneak up on me: my one-year work anniversary. And this specific anniversary genuinely blows my mind. One year is a long while but also no time at all in the […]

Because I’m Worth It (And So Are You)

L’Oreal personal care products have been around since 1909, and say what you want about them as a company or their products, they have had one of the most successful marketing campaigns based on 4 simple words: “Because you’re worth it.” You couldn’t ask for a more perfect slogan for personal hygiene products. Interpreted, it […]
