It’s inevitable that over time, how we define certain things evolve. With so many people in this world, different viewpoints, and a growing number of channels with which to share them, it’s expected. But dammit…when did becoming a hero become so easy? I got pulled into the recent TNT show hosted by The Rock of course called The Hero. It was your standard reality show fare, less “reality” and more artificially created drama. But still somewhat entertaining for what it was. But I couldn’t help ...

Too Much Talk, Not Enough Action!
I've been often amazed at throughout my jobs how much more importance is put on talking about doing things, versus actually doing them. At one of my previous employer's, it was incredibly common for many folks to be praised and rewarded not so much for the results they actually delivered, but the way they presented their work. Many a promotions were awarded simply because someone could put together a snazzy powerpoint about how incredible they or their team was. ...
Do You Make The Most Of Your Opportunities?
It can be amazing where and when inspiration can strike. Most times you never see it coming. For me this past weekend, I was fortunate to experience it with my own son at his last basketball game. Basketball is my son's secondary sport if you will, so he's more of a middle of the pack kid when it comes to his skill level and experience. The season had its fair share of challenges between an agressive, loud coach, a team full of the smallest and most inexperienced kids, and frustrating ...
League Of Awesomeness, Volume 1
For awhile I've been wanting to leverage the blog I've built up to recognize folks I come across that for whatever are reason, are awesome in who they are or what they do.

Good people are hard to come by, and I feel compelled to share the ones I come across here and there if for no other reason to promote them as they certainly deserve it. Consider this volume 1 of an ...
Fight Or Flight: Which Path Do You Typically Take?
One of the things I love about having a blog is how everyday life experiences often motivate me to write certain blog articles. This is yet another one of those examples. This year I decided to step up and manage my older son's little league team. It's a big commitment, but I've always intended on stepping up to do so as I love the game, my son, and cherish the opportunity to coach my son and manage a little league team. It was a bit last minute, so I scrambled to prepare myself, handling ...
February Facebook Page Music Package Giveaway
For quite awhile I've been wanting to do another giveaway on my blog. With my recent addition to the Forbes Social Media Power Influencers list, I figured now was as good of a time as any to do so. That and I had a few cool things to giveaway that were simply sitting around my office. At my agency Strategies 360, we've had quite a bit of success in running contests using social media channels. In most instances we've seen tremendous growth in reach and engagement, and in just about all those ...
