Understand this: No one gives a shit. That thing you’re working on, that big idea you have, the funny story you want to tell? No one really cares. No one is interested. I know what you’re thinking. That’s not true. My wife cares. My friends care. My business partners are interested. Yes, yes, and yes.... Continue Reading →
“You can be whatever you want.” We have all heard it a million times. It’s a cliche that epitomizes the American Dream. Yet, it’s not entirely accurate. Yes, if you set your mind to it, you can chase dreams and obtain goals. However, there is a point where being whatever you want may lie outside... Continue Reading →
The secret to exercise programs is that it’s not about the program. It’s about deciding to get off your ass. Over the years, I’ve had countless friends tell me about their new workout. Some jumped headfirst into Crossfit. Some tried P90X. Others did hot yoga. Some lasted longer than others. Few made permanent changes in... Continue Reading →

John was an old friend from college. He wasn’t a bad guy. Not at all. I actually liked him. But still,... Continue Reading →

We each looked at our menus and scanned the lunch items. The four of us had the dining area to ourselves, save for an elderly couple who was paying their check. Everything on the menu looked decent, but paled in comparison to the crab sandwich lunch special the waiter had just described. One by one... Continue Reading →
As the conversation ping ponged around the conference table, I was fixated on an issue that seemed obvious to me. The longer they talked, the more I thought about the gaping hole I saw in the deal. But what did I know? Everyone in the room had been doing this much longer than me and... Continue Reading →
“Get this…Michelle’s assistant quit yesterday.” “Oh really? Why did she quit? Was there any drama?” I asked. “I don’t think so. I think she went back to her old job.” “Well, that sucks, but I guess it happens,” I said. “Yeah, but the timing is bad because it’s just before the holidays. And, a day... Continue Reading →
