I admire those that work their asses off. Surprisingly it's a rare trait. I've come across far more individuals that do not give it everything they've got then do. For the past year and a half I've watched my wife transform her body through diet, taking creatine a supplement for boosting exercise performance, working out, running all kinds of races and Tae Kwon Do. She's an absolute warrior when it comes to fitness, and it was a decision she made to work incredibly hard to achieve her ...

New Year, New Digs
Well, my holiday social media hiatus is over. Every year I feel the need to shut down and get away from the computer as much as I can to re-boot. I still start to feel a bit of anxiety about how my social footprint suffers when doing so. Such is life. So here's my new outfit. I'm using what I think is the most fantastically simple, clean and amazing theme I've come across yet. The Standard theme is wonderfully minimilist, yet loaded with options and the ability to customize. I spend ...
How To Speak At A Conference & Raise Your Social Profile
One of my favorite parts of my job over the past year or so is having had the opportunity to participate in speaking engagements at conferences and local business chapters.

The Lost Art Of Getting Shit Done
On my flight back home last week I was sitting next to a woman who had her laptop out most of the flight. She was a Microsoftie no doubt, and I knew this as she was working on her yearly commitments. Commitment setting at Microsoft is a ridiculously long and tedious process that involves multiple pages of countless sections and sub-sections of big words talking about what you are going to do in the upcoming year. I never really found it very useful to my job in any capacity, ...
The Lost Art Of Transparency Or How Netflix Dropped The Ball
I love Netflix. I think their service is fantastic, prices fair, and their integration across a variety of hardware choices is top notch. It’s one of those monthly fees I have no problem paying even when I don’t consume very much in a given month. I’ve followed their ascent to greatness burying Blockbuster in the process, and also paid close attention to the realities they have begun to face with increasing operating costs. It was just a matter of time before the major studios demanded a ...
