What does your body of work look like? Does it measure up to the likes of Walt Disney, J.R.R. Tolkien or Steve Jobs? Not necessarily in terms of fame and notoriety, but instead in terms of you've really given it your all. The common thread of the three men I've listed is a 100 percent commitment of … [Read more...]
Small business resource that will save you time and money
A while back my Third Tribe Marketing friend Matt Mansfield interviewed me for his "The Elephant in the Could - How Safe is Your Data?" blog post. I enjoyed the "interview" because it turned into a conversation and Matt and I got a chance to know each other better. Matt is a man of integrity so it … [Read more...]
Swearing, vocabulary and the pregnant pause
When I wrote "Replace “ums” with Pregnant Pauses when Speaking," I never expected to circle back to the post as a way to swear less on social media - and in real life, for that matter. It is, however, that simple. When you feel like letting an f-bomb (or some equally offensive language) fly - stop! … [Read more...]

Working through illness is more than showing up
Most days, I wake up ready to work. I want to work. I love my work. That's the easy part of this equation. How about when for two weeks straight you wake up feeling like poo? It happens. For some of us, it's just a matter of fighting a cold or flu bug for a couple weeks. For some of my friends, it's … [Read more...]
