McDonald’s is introducing the future of fast-food: kiosks and all-you-can-eat fries. Goodbye, no-skill workers (pushing buttons and asking if I want fries with that is not a skill) demanding higher pay. Hello, technology… and 80% obesity rate? Now that the...

I’ve written about this 3 times before. But all those posts are gone forever. So I get to start over. However, my old picks for expansion: Nashville, TN (I’m a little biased) and Vancouver, BC are looking like top potential targets for MLB expansion now....

I almost titled this, “Why Do We Bullshit Each Other?” Have you seen Interstellar? It’s fantastic. What if we were more like the robots: 90% honesty with a 10% discretion setting. I’m not saying we should be robots or even robotic. I...

I was unhappy and didn’t feel comfortable. It took driving across the country alone to get a clean slate (3 years ago today I arrived in LA). And a new me. A fully embraced new version of me. It’s the most beautiful thing we can have: a clean second...

Do you hate public speaking? The thought of getting in front of a lot of people and talking make you shake and sweat a bit? It’s cool. You’re not alone. I’m not in that group, but I understand the fear. Sort of. I used to be afraid of lots of things....
