Fun fact: I am the most unathletic person you will ever meet. If you don’t believe me, watch the video of me rollerblading—it’s on my Instagram (you have to scroll through 567 dog photos to find it). Ironically, or not ironically, I am ridiculously competitive, which directly challenges my athleticism, often with disastrous consequences. Case […]
The tattoo on my arm says, find comfort in the uncomfortable. It is my constant reminder that growth happens when you push yourself into the uncomfortable. You probably don’t need to run headfirst into it like I do, but you have to put yourself out there. Oh, and there is a REALLY good chance it’s […]
STOP. I wrote Stop Apologizing in 2017, and if I’m being honest, it pisses me off that I’ve been saying the same thing for a decade. I’m nothing if not consistent.

Maybe it’s my CRC upbringing, but I’ve always been fascinated by the story of this young kid kicking the ass of a 7 ft giant…which is not really how […]
People Do Business with People — Not Logos The leaders and brands standing out are not the most polished or predictable; what they are is authentic (and memorable). Let’s use me as an example. The other day on Zoom, 3 of my (9) dogs were humping each other in the background; some would be embarrassed, […]
Your “Disadvantages” Are Your Advantages The David and Goliath story we were all told in Sunday School…yeah, it wasn’t true. See, David knew exactly what he was doing and he knew how easy it would be to defeat Goliath. It was everyone else (isn’t that always the case) who shaped our childhood stories. We were […]
