Death to the billionaires?
Attacking the wealthy is a popular thing nowadays. I saw a clip of Hasan Minhaj (from "Patriot Act") where he declared that billionaires shouldn't be allowed to run for president. He did a routine that said that only people who buy their own milk, and who know...
One is the loneliest number for coaches
If you want to reach a goal, it helps to have an accountability partner. Even if you're the most-disciplined, motivated person in the world, if you choose the "go it alone" route it's going to be a tough haul. Take New Year's resolutions, for example … 92% of such...
How The Umbrella Academy Finally Got Me
I just started watching "The Umbrella Academy" on Netflix. Although it's about a group of superheroes, and I'm usually into that type of stuff, the trailer didn't grab me at first. So I held off and watched something else. But over the last few weeks Netflix has been...
Being able to take a break during March Break

My “Hulkbuster” coaching program

When you have a big pimple on your business face
When you don't know what to offer, you won't be eager to get out there and talk about your business. I've used this example before: It’s like waking up to find a huge pimple on your face. The thing is so big that it should have its own zip code, and you know that...
