I'm not sure if the term really applies to this blog post, but I'm going to go with it anyway. One of the things I've really strived for later in life is figuring out ways to better use my time. Time is really our biggest luxury. Money's great and all, but time is what it's all about. Time with people you love, time to do the things you enjoy, just having extra time in general. 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.

Most people don't figure it out until later in life. The irony is that it actually takes a few failed ones to eventually figure out how to make it work. Because the fact is, it takes work to maintain a long lasting relationship. You can't just mail it in. You need to show up. Every day. Some are easier than others. I wanted to write a ...

Use Whatever Friggin Words You Want!
I've been meaning to write a blog post about this infuriating article from Mashable a few months ago basically condemning the use of certain "buzz words". The article is chock full of "experts" I'm sure Mashable selected from a survey about what words they felt were overused.

You want to use the word visionary or ...
