As I waited for Jeff to pick me up outside baggage claim at the Denver airport, I imagined my reaction to seeing his lifted, cardinal Toyota 4Runner was similar to what my dog feels when I grab the leash: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy we’re going on an adventure! With one big difference: Jeff’sContinue reading “On Zirkel’s Redemption, Give or Take”

On Gratitude, A Guy Named Jerry and a Dog Named Sandy
Earlier this week I let a slight jab in the gut become a huge kick in the b*lls. What definitely should have hurt a little, disabled me for a day. Maybe more.

Get Off Your Ass: The Overexposure of Inspiration
I read a blog post last night from Seth Godin, the acclaimed author, marketer and professor of change. In this blog he spoke about how the power of fear keeps us from reaching our goals. (Something I’ve written about, as well, just without the 13 best sellers to my name!) I read another story thisContinue reading “Get Off Your Ass: The Overexposure of Inspiration”
