San Francisco. Monday, June 20, 2011. Walking in San Francisco. Wow. When you come down off of a high like this, the world – the normal world, with people floating in and out and waking up, walking around – looks strange. Normal is strange. Regular looks weird. Nothing is how it should be, but I… Continue Reading
Arbitrary Barriers. Do you know what these are? Arbitrary barriers are traps we set up – for ourselves, by ourselves – that preclude us from doing great work. The dialogue is pretty simple. It’s usually an “if-then” statement, a wish to be fulfilled that can only happen after you do something else. This is what… Continue Reading
This one was inspired by Tyler of Advanced Riskology. Who are you? Who are you when no one is watching? Inspired by #Trust30′s Post-It prompt by Jenny Blake, I’ve put together a series of a dozen or so challenges and questions that I ask myself and post up in my office and my home workspace. To see the… Continue Reading
Who are you? How do you describe yourself to other people? Business cards are great – for when you meet in person. (I love the ones I have!) But you can’t send them out via email or snail mail.

I hope you enjoy some of these photos.… Continue Reading
It’s late Tuesday night, and I’m lying on the floor of my apartment, two new friends (from #WDS) crashing in my place – having just met them a few days ago. Yes, it’s like that. We traveled to Portland and then, less than 48 hours later, I’ve opened my doors in San Francisco to some… Continue Reading
I’m a big fan of country music. I’m sitting in a coffee bar, thinking and dreaming about this past weekend, and reminiscing and relishing in the beauty of it all. “I don’t have to be me until Monday” came on my headphones and I laughed, because at first glance, this is what the weekend was:… Continue Reading
When you tell people you’re going to a World Domination Summit, you get some pretty strange looks. I told my day job that I was going to a writing/blogging conference (although I guess the cat’s out of the bag now). I left Friday morning, early, to head to a 2-day conference in Portland with 500… Continue Reading
