I can't help looking back at things I've done and finding ways I could have made them better. I'm a creative person, I need to be for my job, so perhaps I suffer from this more than other but I doubt it. I'm sure many of you experience this as well. It's like I said a few weeks ago, strive for excellence, not perfection. But I can't help looking back sometimes and seeing all the imperfections that...

It’s hard to believe that a month has now passed since Podcast Movement. Shortly after I got back from PM15 I penned an episode called “Enjoying the Benefits of Breaks” where, among other things, I talked about how much work had gone into getting ready for that event. As I sit here now with the perspective of a month of days between me and the event, I thought I’d take a few minutes and share what...

Impostor Syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist even in face of information that indicates that the opposite is true. It is experienced internally as chronic self-doubt, and feelings of intellectual fraudulence. In layman's terms, it's the belief that you're an imposter even though you're not. Read More...

Today’s episode isn’t about my life in the corporate world per se, but it does touch on my experience in leaving that world. Today’s episode topic is important. It’s so important to me, that it was one of the first topics I discussed back in episode 14, “You Do Not Have Because You Do Not Ask.” Mark also touched on this topic in episode 248, “Ask and You Shall Receive.” What is today’s topic? Aski...

That was my mistake. I got the crazy idea in my head that I wanted everything to be perfect before I launched my Resourceful Designer podcast. But I don't need it to be perfect. I only need it to be excellent, which at my current level of podcasting is easily achievable. And once it's launched, I can then keep striving for excellence by making each episode better than the last as my skills keep im...

Today I want to tell you a story about misfit. Our misfit was born and raised in the north where it is very cold. The town where he grew up was dependent on a single employer and a single industry. So just like everyone else he knew, he was destined to work at the same factory as they were. While this may seem like a boring, even monotonous way of life, no one seemed to mind. Everyone got along, t...

An amazing thing happens at conferences like these when you start talking to random strangers. You become familiar with each other. Throughout the weekend I found myself reconnecting with these people over and over. Forming bonds. Getting updates on what they've seen and learned. Read More...

Every kid loves spending time in the swimming pool, or at a water park, and my kids are no exception. During the summer they go to my in-laws house at least once a week and enjoy swimming in their pool. In our local town there are a few places to enjoy a good swim including a water park named Pelican Bay and the YMCA just down the street from our house. Read More...

Over the last 3 months I have worked harder and longer than I ever have in my life. You could say that I’ve worked like a dog. I am usually a detailed oriented person. For example, if you look at www.propodcastsolutions.com, there are a lot of details at play that you might have missed or never notice. One of those details is that in every video, I’m wearing a shirt that has complimentary colors t...

as I'm composing this, I actually have no idea if anyone will ever hear it. But that's ok, I'm just killing time until my daughter gets home from school. And if someday I do end up using this episode I'm sure I'll be happy I had it in the bank. Read More...

Peaks and valleys are great because of the clarity they bring. With clear vision we can better see the things that truly matter. But here’s the thing. The majority of our lives are not lived in peaks or valleys. No, the majority of our lives are lived in the middle of the peaks and valleys. We call these places “average” or “normal.” Now it’s time to appreciate the average. Read More... The post 3...

How many bar fights do you think have started because two people were wearing different colour jerseys? The sad thing is, if those same two people were to sit down and talk they would probably discover they have a lot more in common than naught. Such as a common love for whatever sport they're wearing for one thing, regardless of who they root for. Read More... The post 312- Difference Of Opinion...

If you’re a long time listener to this podcast then you’ll most likely remember that I grew up with two brothers. My step-brother was one year ahead of me and my real brother was two years ahead of me. While I was not at all considered cool or popular, my step-brother was. He was smart, charming, athletic, outgoing, and good looking. He was one of the most popular kids in the whole school, let alo...

Lying is a form of self preservation. From a young age we're told that it's wrong to lie. Our parents told us such and our teachers did likewise. But that didn't stop us from testing the boundaries at some point in our childhood, either out of fear of punishment or possibly out of curiosity to see if we can get away with it. Perhaps we did something wrong like set toilet paper on fire and refused...

My 12 year old daughter thinks she needs a cell phone. Her mom and I disagree. Several of her friends have one and she swears she is the only person at her school that does not have one. Still, her mom and I won’t budge. Well it turns out she doesn’t actually want a phone. What she really wants is the appearance of a phone. We found this out recently when my iPhone 4s stopped making and receiving...
