Age doesn’t matter with this
I recently read an article about Fred Luddy, the founder of ServiceNow (apparently "America's hottest IT-services company") Luddy is riding high at the moment, with his company worth $30 billion and it's the darling of its space ... But about 14 years ago, Luddy lost...
Fear Factor: Coaches Edition
Do you remember the reality show Fear Factor? It was hosted by Joe Rogan, and it had people doing all kinds of crazy things to win money, like: - public nudity - bobbing in rats - eating sheep eyes - munching down on spiders, and even buffalo testicles ... Thankfully...
The hardest clients to get
In the course of sports history, there have been some incredible first games by rookies: - Austen Matthews scored four goals in his first game for my Maples Leafs (I would have been happy with three!) - Trevor Story hit two home runs in his first two at bats for the...
If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there
Summer's road trip season has officially started. Families will be packing into their cars to go on crazy, National Lampoon-style road trips while "Are we there yet?", "He hit me!", and "Did not!" will ring through the air. I used to love family road trips when I was...

Walt Disney’s frozen head (and other debunked myths)

No More Mr. Nice Canadian
In honour of Canada Day, I have to say that we Canadians get unfairly tarnished with the "nice" brush too often. (and no, we don't all say "aboot" or "eh") I know what you're thinking - isn't it a good thing to be called "nice"? Not necessarily. I see a lot of "nice"...
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
I read something online the other day about a woman who had been dating a guy for a year and finally asked if she could meet his mother. Without missing a beat, the guy said: "You’re special, but you’re not THAT special." (Yes, he actually said that ...) I see...
