I saw a stat the other day that many of the unemployed are made up of younger generations and those around retirement age. Then I saw this HBR blog post on the entitlement of Millenials and unemployment and wanted to get the Brazen crowds thoughts: http://tinyurl.com/3rek99h. What do you think? Unfair characterization? Spot on? Or somewhere in between?

Madison, WI is still frozen from our weekend blizzard. Lots of businesses are keeping their offices closed so employees don't have to drive on icy roads. The coffee shop I work at is packed with unfamiliar faces. How does your company deal with bad weather? Do they have a snow policy?

I felt the need for a impulse buy today so I bought a new snowboard for this winter. I've lived in Wisconsin for more than 3 years now, but I have never gone to any of the mountains. Which is your favorite? I hear that the best in close proximity to Madison is Devil's Head. I'd like to try out Tyrol Basin as well because it is closer to my side of town.

Just chowed down on some Ian's Mac and Cheese pizza. It's my guilty pleasure when it comes to the amazingly unhealthy, yet delicious, food that Madison has to offer us. Gotta love it! What's your guilty pleasure in Madison? Another one of mine is The Weary Traveler's Bad Breath Burger. Share yours with me ...

It is always a really fun event and starts Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday so you could hit the Food for Thought Festival and then swing by the Willy Street Fair. We'll have a booth in front of Plan B.

I'm an outcast during football season because of course I'm a Penn State guy, but a food blogger friend of mine asked me where he should go tailgate tomorrow for the Badger game. He's doing a cross-country tailgate tour and will be in town tomorrow. Thoughts on where he should spend his time?

I was really excited to be featured in the most-recent edition of the Isthmus (http://bit.ly/bNaaWk) talking about job hunt strategies that UW grads are utilizing. I talk a little bit about Brazen, but mostly about the future of the job search. Despite the down economy I'm optimistic. I see recent grads taking bigger risks and putting themselves out there in ways they wouldn't have done 5 years ago. They're being more proactive than ever. What do you see recent grads doing differently?

Career choices are extremely important whether you are 20 or 55. Our country was built on industry (farming, coal, steel, manufacturing). It does not resolve the other half or 3/4 of the economy where we are employed (teachers/health/social services/marketing). We are not all suited to start a business, we have to find that 'nitch' that suits our well being, experiences, and education.

whats great about our social media platforms is how it allows us to collaborate on our own time when we cant make the shoulder to shoulder live meetings. you probably have much more to share and educate the rest of us than you know, im looking forward to hearing some of your insights too.
