A great man (View Comments)
Manhood is a diffiult thing to accomplish. In the past few weeks, I’ve had a number of female friends talk with me at length about their difficulty in ‘finding a good man.’ Indeed, this seems to be something that plagues most women I’ve met (other than the ones I’ve dated, of course.) On occasion I’ve [...]
Wine, cheese and entrepreneurship (View Comments)
Had a great dinner last night with some good friends at work, and the discussion turned to my love for entrepreneurship. Why do I think that it’s such a noble and worthwhile endeavor? Why do I believe in it so much? When you see all the ills that are brought upon the world by a [...]
Makes you want to be an Athiest (View Comments)
For all my character flaws, I feel as though I’m generally a pretty good natured guy. But these past few weeks I’ve been extremely angry. The majority of clients we work with are fantastic – good natured, easy going, and excited to be collectively striving to acheive a shared goal. But once in a while [...]
How to have a successful relationship (View Comments)
I have plenty of theories about what makes a relationship work and what doesn’t (in college, I wrote a book on the subject and sold it to guys for $50 on the Internet. Sold nine copies…I think my mom still keeps them in her basement.) But if I had to say there was one rule [...]
Bono’s a wise man… (View Comments)
One of the more interesting reads I’ve had in a while. Thanks Julie…
Burning your business into the ground – Part 1 (View Comments)
A little over a year ago, I burned a business into the ground. People tend to look at me funny when I talk about failing in business. They seem to still believe what we’re all taught in school – that failing in work or in a relationship or in a business means that the person [...]
Everything I know about original sin I learned in diapers (View Comments)
On those rare occasions when I find myself in a conversation about the inherent goodness of people, I like to talk about kids. I went back to Colorado again this past weekend to look for wedding sites. While we were back there we spent some time with my parents, and they ended up showing Michelle [...]
Crabs in a box (View Comments)
Conducted a student focus group at a client today, and was amazed at their responses. They were suprisingly, almost shockingly negative about their experience at the school. As they were talking, I was wondering to myself how much of it was the school and how much of it was the group. This particular group of [...]
Reflections on an un-conference (View Comments)
There’s a whole other world out there, and I caught a glimpse of it this past weekend. There are people who have started successful consulting firms and have worked for two major media companies…and just reached an age where they can legally buy alcohol. There are people who have had their lives shattered in the [...]
Missing Colorado (View Comments)
I’m struggling to remind myself why I left Colorado. As the plane was landing at Newark, my heart was heavy. I had just spent 8 days in a place where the air is clean, the views are breathtaking and the people are friendly. It’s true – not everyone is driven and focused on making themselves [...]
