A Daily Moment of Clarity for Your Business & Your Busyness
Hi there. Beginning a week from today: Monday, May 7, I’ll be running a 10-day series of interviews with leaders - asking each the same short series of questions - on The Daily Blur. You’ll see answers and insights to one question per day. Then … the fun stuff starts … I’m going to turn all [...]
In less than five days, more than 1000 people have watched the talk I gave at TEDxMU about our son. That’s more than live in my hometown. That kinda freaks me out. I’ve gotten emails from complete strangers, emails from old friends and made new friends as a result of this great gift known as [...]
Today’s a big day - full of lessons and dreams for you and me. Because today - a couple of my friends are retiring from a successful company. They’re in their 50s. They’re in great health.

I'm kinda tall. I talk with my hands a lot. I make up words sometimes.
I'm a husband, dad, and I'm the head custodian for The Imagination Advisory Group. All three are pretty good gigs.
