Original Air Date: October 18, 2021 Less is more. Truly. But as humans we always seem to want more. Is the desire for more causing us to lose what truly matters? In this episode, I share my thoughts on the practice of pursuing less. Some refer to this as ‘essentialism’ since the purpose is to maintain a deep focus on only the most important things in life. This discipline is just like any in that...

Original Air Date: February 22, 2021 The way to differentiate yourself in today’s economy is by investing time and resources in things that don’t scale.

Original Air Date: June 14, 2021 Failure. A complete sentence. Is it a teacher Or a jailer? Is it a beginning Or does it end there? Where do you place your next step When the ground beneath you begins to erupt? Maybe if there was something to grasp, If it wasn’t so abrupt. Perhaps if no one was watching, Not even me seeing me. Then this… Failure Would be easier to swallow. If self-criticism were a...
