Good Bye, Chase, I Wish I Would Miss You.
Mar 2nd
Dear Chase,
It is with great sadness that I am forced to write you this letter. I enjoyed our relationship together for the past year. But, you see, since you took the TARP money from the taxpayers of the United States to go on a bank-buying spree, you’ve become so abusive to me that I began [...]
Free Fuel Everywhere!
Jan 14th
Watch the video. In short, one man has discovered, quite by accident, the potential to have almost unlimited free fuel for the planet: Salt Water.
The earth is covered with it, and very few people have figured out how to use it in its natural state as a fuel source. Instead of focusing our efforts and [...]
I Resolve To Not Resolve
Dec 31st
Every year, we watch the ball drop in New York’s Time Square on New Year’s Eve. The next day we make a list of resolutions. And by February, we’ve almost forgotten what they were. And this year, New Year’s 2010 is no different.
Perhaps it’s time to resolve to not make any resolutions. Instead, let’s choose [...]
5 Ways To Save GM
Dec 23rd
Recently, one of my friends started his long-shot campaign to become GM’s next CEO. His approach got me mulling over the fate of General Motors and Ed Whitacre’s leadership of the “Great CEO Search”.

I visited the 2009 Los Angeles International Auto Show this past weekend.

Where Have All The Christmas Cards Gone?
Dec 12th
I’ve noticed an interesting trend these past few years. I used to receive tons of printed cards in the mail during the holidays. That has slowed to a trickle over the past year or two. I still receive at least as many holiday greetings–but the trend is definitely more on the side of e-greetings, facebook [...]
The Power Of A Coach
Oct 8th
OK, so you know that I normally don’t shamelessly promote my coaching business here on the blog, but I wanted to share a few success stories with you. Coaches really do make a difference in people’s lives.
One of my clients has really been struggling balancing work and play. Over the course of many months, she [...]
Why Don’t You Smile More Often?
Aug 13th
Smile. Go ahead. Right now. No one’s looking. You can do it. OK, I’ll look the other way.
Did you do it? Good. How did it feel? Are you still smiling? Keep doing it. Everyone will wonder what you’re up to, and that’s ok.
Here’s the point: how often do you smile in an average day? Smiling [...]
Good Job! Shout Out
