I just read a post on facebook from a friend who had lost a friend over the weekend. He posted that he had been busy over the past few years, as we all are, and now he wished he had reached out more to his friend. We’ve all been there. Loss is so hard, and […]

I got the call from my 25 year-old daughter last Thursday. “Dad, do you have some time?” I immediately closed the client presentation I was working on and replied, “Of course kiddo, what do you need?” “Mom wants me to give the eulogy at grandma’s (her maternal grandmother and my ex-mother-in-law) funeral on Saturday.

Because we are so close to Father’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to do a little Daddy and Daughter story.

It’s living to your potential, living the life of your calling or purpose and living a life of passion. The bonus is that living your “inspired” life is likely to inspire others who […]
A good friend of mine recently asked me a curious question that caught me a little off guard. “You are out and about all of the time. Your business seems to be doing well. You have to be working your butt off raising a 7-month old. Yet, after years of marriage, you and your wife […]
