Lauren Davis returns to the show to ask me three questions.  If you were making so much money you couldn't spend it all, what causes would you give your money to?

Most parks are underfunded, understaffed and falling behind. If I had the...

After resisting getting involved with Instagram, I finally began posting photos.  Instagram became my favorite social media platform, but I was reluctant to use Instagram stories.

More than anything else I have ever done on social media, I...

Whether you know it or not, and whether you like it or not, other people are telling a story about you.  Here is an example, when my wife and I went out for dinner, we ran into a friend. Just the night before, we saw our friend's boss at an event.  When I mentioned seeing her boss, my friend said. "He's not a fan of people." Whether he knows it or not, this is the story his employees tell about th...

Tesla recently introduced the Cybertruck . On the first day, you could do so, I pre-ordered a Cybertruck.  For the past 10 years, I have driven a Montero I paid cash for. Car payments are not something I have any interest in.  So why would I pre-order a Cybertruck? First, I can say I pre-ordered a Tesla. If nothing else, it is worth $100 just to be able to say that. Even better, from now until the...
