Join me on memory lane for certain reasons. It is my birthday and it is a big one. I relay certain events in my life and use that for a foundation to get into the next book "The Fourth Turning". Hopefully it will also be anecdotal and somewhat amusing as well. Learn more at https://altf4.co

It's that time of year again that everyone is looking forward. Only 9% of people are still working on New Year's resolutions by the end of the year. Why is that? I talk a lot about that today and what you can do about it. This topic applies throughout the entire year, not just at the beginning but we all have to start somewhere.

I am coming back again with another year of Christmas ideas. For reference, I try to not talk about items that I talked about in previous years for a better catalog of ideas. I imagined this to be a quick run down of things that I would like but it morphed into a much longer rabbit trail. I share the whys and thoughts of some of the things that I would put on a Christmas list Learn more https://al...

I probably should spend less time speaking on politics. This is based on the number of times that I say it doesn't matter. It almost could be perceived as hypocritical. What I try to do is justify why we shouldn't and today is no different. Tune in to hear more evidence on the harmful effects of choosing sides. Learn more at https://altf4.co

What can I say, we all need inspiration. It is especially true when the environment changes and you didn't welcome it. Today I talk about two different streams of changes and how that has impacted the way business was done. It is sometimes overwhelming to change when that is not what you want to do.

You probably have gone on vacation and fallen in love with the place you were at. I know that I have. But, vacationing and living are two different things.

As we get ready for one of the biggest holidays of the year that focuses on being thankful, I talk about my feelings on the subject this year. Hopefully, you don't think it is just me spouting my particular brand of subjects but that I offer a perspective of what thankfulness means in a more existential sense.

Trump has wasted no time getting ready to start. I believe that this is something that comes from his non-governmental background. Successful projects are always planning to have the best and fastest possible results. I am still on the fence about him or any other politician for that matter but from what I have heard so far, this has the possibility to actually Make America Great Again. I will res...

Today I talk about a mentor that passed away. I took a trip down memory lane a little bit. From that, I draw some conclusions about the value of mentors and why we men should be looking to pay it forward. As it is from the heart, it should be a good one. Learn more at https://altf4.co

If we just vote harder, if our candidate wins, have you seen it work? I wonder why? Why is it that a unified legislative and and executive body still does not fulfill campaign promises?

Sometimes things happen by chance. I don't know why we meet the people we do and even more than that, hit it off. You should know by now, this episode is not necessarily about that but a couple of movie reviews that I ran into by chance. One is about who we were in the past and one is about who we are about to be in the future. Learn more at https://altf4.co.

I sure had a lot to say for not know what to talk about. I had forgot that I had a Trick or Treat 2023 until I was checking to see if I had used that title already. So, I thought I would do it again after I check in on how those little treats played out from last year. I go of in a new direction this year primarily relating Halloween symbols to current events. That is all I am going to say, tune i...

I admit that I spend a lot of my time forward looking. That sometimes leads my wife to accusing me of not living in the moment. Today you get a little of both.

I hit on a lot of different subjects today. This is probably a topic that could have gone on for several more hours. I kept thinking of additional things and different applicable examples that fit in with what I was trying to say. I found that I got results that I didn't expect both negatively and positively. But, I wouldn't have known if I didn't try different things. Learn more at https://altf4....

Today is a look at political polarization, some of the reasons and if there is anything that can be done about it. Before we get caught in the trap that polarization is somebody else's problem to solve, we need to think about our role and what we can do about it. Learn more at https://altf4.co

Perspective is always valuable. It is really hard to get perspective alone unless you have a mirror or a camera to see what you are doing. In order for me to get it, I need to get some air, maybe even get out of the pool and watch my video using a swimming analogy. I am not going to spoil the podcast, but I do a little self analysis today. You may be surprised at what I am thinking. Learn more at...

Sometimes the gloom and doom gets too much. As much as the news is ripe with topics to spawn plenty of opinion talk, I choose to leave it alone as it doesn't age well. Today I relive memories about why I look forward to summer. You don't have to identify with my experiences but allow yourself to go into those good times of the past. This has been far from my favorite summer but based on the track...
