I'm back on the hiring wagon yet again. It's amazing how much time and effort goes into the process of finding the right person for a job. What's even more amazing that even in this day and age with some much information at our fingertips, the consistent lack of quality candidates I get. Easily only 10% of those that apply are worthy of consideration. So naturally I was motivated to write another hiring post. Hopefully to be found be future candidates to help bump that number up. This time I ...
My Apple Watch Review: 5 Reasons It Works
It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Apple products. I'm usually an early adopter no matter what the product is. However with the Apple Watch, I actually held back longer than usual for a few reasons.

One of the biggest satisfactions I have right now is when I drive to work. For the first 18 years or so of my ...
8 Life Lessons I Learned After 40
For the first few years of my blog I wrote exclusively about digital marketing, social media and technology. As I got older, and my career shifted into more of a managerial/operational mode, I didn't feel as motivated to write about those things anymore and started to want to write more about whatever inspired me.
