I’ve thought about buying a home a lot lately. When it really came down to it I just can’t afford a house. My parents (and just about everyone else who owns a house) have told me how important it is to buy instead of rent. That renting is throwing away […]
Tonight I attended a presentation on starting a young adult ministry for my church. See my church realizes that a huge percentage of our parish is in their 20’s and 30’s (46% which equals about 560,000 people.) Anyways, there seems to be a disconnect […]
I wrote last week about finding value in Social Media. One way to find value in it is to meet customers where they are, where they are talking about your company. A lot of times if your service or product pisses off a customer, they won’t call your customer service center, they’ll just […]
Everyone’s business is different. Everyone’s interests are different. It’s like a giant Venn diagram - some places you and I will be polar opposites and some places we might overlap. Polarization is ok. (This is something I learned from Guy Kawasaki.) You have to look at the product and decide what has […]

Not being at the top ladder rung, it’s really frustrating to have to navigate through corporate policy when there’s all this red tape and 1,000 steps to make one simple thing get done. I like to act quick. When I know something will work or have an ide…
It seems recently there have been a number of advice blog posts for parents or young people with parents who hover. You’ve probably heard the term helicopter parents. It’s used to describe parents who hover over their children to the point of doing everything for them. There are a number of reasons that […]
For IBM, it’s asking it’s applicants to complete an IBM Applicant Survey. I applied for a position at IBM awhile ago. I had gotten an email from a recruiter somewhere in IBM asking me to apply for a position that she thought I matched. I was curious after reading the description (it was […]
I’m 25. It was really weird when I first said it to someone a couple weeks after my birthday. Kinda freaked me out. My friends and I have commented before that you don’t normally think of what your life will be like after college. Some of my friends have taken note […]
