My name is Jason Yormark and I'm an introvert. There...I said it. I'm not ashamed. Why should I be? If there's one thing I've learned over the years, is that being successful in life and business as an introvert isn't any more or less challenging than if I were the opposite. But the perceptions I and those I've worked with don't go unnoticed so I feel compelled to set the record straight. Let it begin! We don't like to be around other people. Hey, I dig my me time. Cozying up on the couch to ...

Do People Really Suck This Bad?
I've never cared about politics. It's all bullshit really. Nobody is going to save us. Nobody is going to swoop in and make your life better. That's up to you. I've always concentrated my effort on the things I can control. Taking care of the things in my world. My friends, family, co-workers, etc. It's a far better and more productive use of my time. But this past election cycle has been unavoidable. It seeps and oozes into your life no matter where you are or what you're doing. It's been the ...
Decision Fatigue. Yep, it’s a thing.
Wifey: "What do you want for dinner?" Me: "I don't know, whatever you want." or Me: "What do you want to watch?" Wifey: "Whatever. You decide." The above are fairly common occurrences in our household, and I would imagine in many others. There's been plenty of instances where we'd frustrate each other because neither of us could make a decision for such seemingly simple decisions. So why is it that I can't just make a decision around what I want to eat or watch at any given ...
Top 5 Things You Can’t Do If You Want To Be Friends
I'm starting a new tradition of highlighting 5 things that drive me nuts every year. 5 things that if done, disqualify you & I from being pals. You own or are considering a selfie stick. Can you even imagine what people in previous decades would think if you tried to describe this? If you feel that you have to carry a stick to attach your phone to around, so that you can take pictures of yourself...that's a problem. You copy/paste Facebook posts saying you will win millions of ...
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. It was the only way I could find the motivation to continue writing. As I close in on the first year of my 40s, I've thought a lot about what I've learned in my life. For whatever ...
7 Things You’re Doing In Your Relationship You Don’t Realize Are Destroying It
Relationships are not easy. More of them fail than succeed. We've all had our fair share of failed relationships, and I certainly fall into that category as well. 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 ...
