“Be the first to see what you see as you see it.”--Robert Bresson The other day I shared a humorous meme that said GenX-The only generation that became 30 at the age of 10 and still is 30 at the age of 50.  Admittedly this made me chuckle and being a proud GenXer I had to share this out with the rest of my community on social media.  As an old friend used to tell me, the key to humor and storytell...

“I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.”― Clint Eastwood It’s an obvious statement for me to say to you that I’ve seen a lot of changes in the world since I was a kid in the 1980’s.  Sure you’ve heard this type of statement from your elders over the years and people usually snicker and brush off such a sta...

“What one does is what counts.

“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”― Desiderius Erasmus Years ago I had the privilege of coaching the Tucker High School basketball team in their preseason strength and conditioning training to get the team ready for their competitive season.  The reason this opportunity had fallen into my lap was because I had previously worked with a few of their players on an individual level...

Politics is downstream from culture-Andrew Breitbart That quote by the late great Andrew Breitbart is one of the biggest reasons this podcast and blog exists.  On this show I’ve often spoken about the significance of culture and how cultural manipulation is something that is constantly at play within the makeup of our society.  I’ve clearly pointed this out by coining the phrase The Crime Syndicat...

Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?--Robin Williams I thought that quote by Robin Williams here was the perfect lead off for today’s article/podcast.  Although the humor in Robin’s quote is admittedly very clever it is so because it’s true.  The direction I want to take today’s discussion is going to be one that examines the possibilities and reasons as to why people can have such va...
