Cancer Sucks!
I posted this on Twitter a few hours ago:
I posted that after hanging up from a heart wrenching call with my co-manager Steve Terrones. Steve’s brother Will is in the middle of a cancer fight. Will is fighting hard, but to be honest, he isn’t winning. It sucks and my heart is broken for Steve [...]
I’ve Got a Feeling
Most men fail when it comes to sharing their feelings. Even women who we astutely stereotype to be the “feelers” of society may struggle with sharing their feelings.

AHA! – Free Conference
A few weeks ago I opened up a discussion about conferences and seminars that cost money but are being broadcast online for free.

Resolution
