The incredible expansion of experimentation that’s happening around the distribution of words as content is mind-blowing. I’m all in favor of it, and am a happy consumer of a few of these new experiments. But as a former radio DJ, and someone who enjoys making audio, it leaves me wondering when audio will have it’s [...]
The Not-A-Pocalypse
I feel cheated. The world did not end today as many thought it might. At the very least some were convinced of modern society’s collapse rather than total global annihilation. Admittedly, I’m both pleased and disappointed. I’m pleased there wasn’t complete destruction and fiery doom. But I’m disappointed there wasn’t a post-apocalyptic scenario to wake [...]
Serve The Unlearned Ones
One of the best places to find people is at the stage of Unlearning. What is Unlearning? Well, by my definition, it’s the realization that one has been giving into hype, wrong beliefs, or false expectations. This is usually the point where a person makes the decision to create their own systems for achievement. I [...]
Why Aren’t We Teaching How To Read?
How do you read online content? It’s interesting to learn how people consume information online. For some it’s a deliberate practice of order and for others it’s a scattered activity of trying to keep up. As a dyslexic, it’s very important for me to have no distractions while reading because it would take, and has [...]
The Most Painful Orifice And Other Lessons
Back in the Summer, my business partner and I ran a program called Make Your Mark. A group of incredible geniuses joined us to uncover the best route to working and living from a premium perspective.

A Truly Informed People
How can people truly make right and honest choices from conviction unless they are also properly informed? This cannot happen until the sources of information and trust step into the responsible role of leadership with the sole intent of informing the people for the sake of making decisions that better their lives and allow for [...]
The Number One Cause of Digital Failure
There’s a reason this quote exists on the front page of this site. “Let’s face it. Human error is the number one cause of digital failure these days. Well, according to my experience anyway.” The reason is simple – you and I are not a part of perfect technology. And our failures are never the [...]
It’s JUST Business
The idea of business and life being interconnected is both true and false. Too many people take the basic daily fundamental decisions of business way too personally. It’s a separate-but-equal arrangement, like all great ones are. Real business is an extension of your best self, but kept deliberately separate in it’s rightful place – just [...]
The Micro-Managed Existence
There are moments when micro-managing something is the key to success. For me, it’s the time I spend creating a new habit for the better. I keep close tabs on how I’m thinking, feeling, moving, and acting as I train my brain. Doing this, teaches me to recognize both the good patterns and the bad. [...]
Fleeing Conversation
Quotes from Sherry Turkle’s NYT Article The Flight From Conversation. “We have gotten used to the idea of being in a tribe of one, loyal to our own party.” “WE expect more from technology and less from one another and seem increasingly drawn to technologies that provide the illusion of companionship without the demands of [...]
