On the Importance of Momentum

October 8, 2009

I want to share a lesson I’ve learned (often times the hard way) over my last 4 years of entrepreneurship. That lesson is: Momentum is the key to almost everything.
Now – there are a lot of things that allow you to build momentum, those things being the core tenents of motivation (passion, ambition, drive, etc…), [...]

Heeling and Recovery.

October 7, 2009

Notice the built in joke in the title? No – look again. Anyway – the heel is pulling itself back together some. I’m about to lose my mind not being able to go run, or really even walk the dog in shoes without ripping it open again.  I’m just hoping it heals up completely by [...]

Let’s make it legal.

September 17, 2009

So – I’m a guy that normally does his “homework” about things.  Yesterday, my fiancee and I were headed to the courthouse to get a marriage license for our impending nuptials (October 3 is rolling up quickly!). We were both working under the assumption that we needed our license in the state we both reside [...]

8 years later.

September 11, 2009

I’ve been reminded several times today of that awful day 8 years ago.  While difficult, it’s important to go back and relive those moments of fear, anger, and sadness over the loss of people that most of us didn’t even know.  Even more importantly – we have to remember the triumph of the human spirit [...]

10 Things I Think I Think

September 10, 2009

As always, this idea has been unceremoniusly lifted off of of SI.com’s Peter King (who, despite his detractors, writes a very entertaining column).

1)Thinking that Joe Wilson is just another in a long line of Conservatives who has managed to direct attention away from hard questions about Obama’s policies by being stupid and inflammatory. We Conservatives thank you for setting us back yet again. Resign, and take Rush with you. Then, maybe we can make some progress.

Human Capital and How to Fix the Economy

September 2, 2009

I’ve recently been reading “Naked Economics” by Charles Wheelan. I’m kind of an Econ nerd, so I’ve found it really interesting. He raises several good points, but the most important statement he makes is one that America and her politicians should heed wisely. That is – (to paraphrase) “It all starts with human capital.”

Walking your dog can help your business.

August 27, 2009

At least, it can help your attitude while you’re working.  I have a really nice little routine each day – Get up, check email, double check my tasks for the day, have a bit of coffee and read up on my favorite websites.  Then, it’s shower and time to walk the dog.
I like this routine [...]

Autumn Falls on Kansas

August 26, 2009

You can definitely feel it in the air – even though it’s still warm and a little humid. Fall is on its way. For selfish reasons, I’m happy things are starting to turn a little faster, because I’d prefer a cool, crisp outdoor wedding in October.
More importantly, I”m in love with the transition [...]

Thumbnail image for Life updates, etc…

How excited am I to be writing a post that has no bearing on my business at all?  Incredibly.
So – what’s been going on in my life lately?
Well, I’m getting married to the girl of my dreams on October 3 – we’re having a very small service here in Kansas City, and I couldn’t be [...]

It’s that time of year again.

May 16, 2009

Springtime – when kids all over the country sign up, dust off their gloves, and take to the diamond for a little baseball.
This rite of passage has been much for difficult for deaf children, and, at times, nearly impossible.
That’s why it’s so awesome that there are organizations out there like Sertoma – who provide kids [...]
