I’m taking a bit of a break from recording new episodes of the podcast because, well, I deserve a break. The 95th episode dropped about two weeks ago so there are a lot of episodes to listen to or relisten to. Below are ten suggested older episodes for you to check out. To give you READ MORE

Aspiration, Ambition, and Action
A few months ago I shared an episode of Todd Henry’s podcast in which he was speaking with best-selling author and coach Dr. Marshall Goldsmith about his new book The Earned Life: Lose Regret, Choose Fulfillment. It was a very interesting conversation and definitely made me want to read the book, and I’m currently doing just that. But READ MORE
Inclusion Is Still a Problem
I was watching the live stream of a discussion recently and someone brought up the problems with the word “inclusive.” This is a word I hear a lot these days in education and out in the community. I think that most people intend for it to mean that everyone should be included without anyone being READ MORE
Between Two Kingdoms
I recently finished reading the book Between Two Kingdoms, which is a memoir by Suleika Jaouad. It is one of the best books that I’ve read. The story is beautiful (and painful) as is the way she tells her story. It left me with so much to think about and unpack before I can write READ MORE
Some of What I’ve Been Consuming
I have several personal and work-related projects going on right now, but publishing these blog posts twice per week is a commitment that I’ve made to you the readers. Yes, I take some time off here and there, but I try to plan for that and this isn’t one of those times. So instead of READ MORE
From Day-to-Day to Your Purpose
I recently wrote a post about doing a “Weekly Review”, an idea that comes from David Allen’s book Getting Things Done (GTD). Another important aspect of the GTD method that I think often gets overlooked is the “Horizons of Focus”. According to Allen, there are six horizons of focus that he explains using a “flying READ MORE
Planning Ahead Isn’t About Next Week, Month, or Year
The oldest known company in North America, is La Casa de Moneda de Mexico, the national mint of Mexico, which was established in 1535. The oldest in the U.S. is the Shirley Plantation (yes, a plantation), established in 1638, and the oldest in Canada is the Hudson Bay Company (1670). How many companies do you READ MORE
What Are You Working For?
Last night my daughter had her first lacrosse game (they won 16-3) so I didn’t have time to write a blog post in the evening. I’m taking just a few minutes to write this morning before leaving for work. While making my smoothie and getting my stuff together for the day, I listened to Todd READ MORE
Truer Not Newer
I was listening to a recent podcast from Luvvie Ajayi Jones in which she was talking about not being a “new you” in the new year. There’s a lot of ads for fitness equipment, diet programs, etc. that talk about how their product will help you be “a new you”, but Ajayi said something that READ MORE
Asking Myself Four Questions
I was listening to an episode of Todd Henry’s podcast early last week and it struck a nerve with me. In it, he recommends asking yourself four specific questions to start 2022. He does this every year, but the questions change. The questions this year are: What is my defining question right now? What do READ MORE
