I don’t know what to write. But I know I need to. It is time to make some changes. Have you ever felt directionless? I’m guessing you have, especially now.

What I’m reading right now – March 2019
Reading has always played a really important role in my life. When I was younger, it was a tool to learn, a tool to imagine and a tool to get lost in worlds that people more brilliant than me constructed.

How I got into modelling
In the grocery business it is referred to as ‘facing up’. The process is simple. You work aisle to aisle moving a couple of rows of product from the back of the shelf to the front, labels forward.

What would you like me to talk about?

A couple of weeks ago I had the good fortune of being asked to join Robyn Edgar, who is the host of the Innovation Spotlight radio show on 93.3 CFMU to come on and talk about social media, along with some other noted guests.

Open Roll Podcast with Jurgen Rudolph
Recently I had the opportunity to be a guest on the Open Roll Podcast hosted and created by my friend Jurgen Rudolph. I met Jurgen in an old shack in the hills of Costa Rica where he was on the annual extended vacation he takes, presumably, to reset his system. Perhaps being in paradise affected my assessment of the man, but … Read More
