Tonight I did something I never thought I would do. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been snatching up domain names when a crazy business idea popped into my head. Sometimes, those ideas turned into a real business. I’ve started, grown, and sold two of those businesses. Others are things I’ve wanted to […]

Look at me doing two book reviews within a week: This Infinite Game by Simon Sinek, and now Herding Tigers: Be The Leader That Creative People Need, by Todd Henry. I don’t love every book I read. Honestly, I just recently gave a negative review on a book that missed the mark. However, this was […]
