Thinking Thursday Living All Out Do you know what you always have inside you? More to give. Last week, I talked about the need to “Refresh & Renew.” Those aspects are critical to a quality life and sustained, long-term performance. But, you also have to do the work to achieve your goals. This is where living […]

Thinking Thursday Refresh & Renew I was twenty-six years old. We were trying to raise $5MM in Venture Capital. It wasn’t unusual for me to sleep on the couch outside my office. In fact, I wore my same, wrinkled clothes like a badge of honor the following day. For weeks on end, I proudly ground […]

Thinking Thursday What is great teammate? I opened the refrigerator yesterday after my wife had left for a business meeting. It was ungodly early. But, there it was in plain sight. All my bottles were setup to feed my son for the day. A small, but brilliant gesture reflecting her understanding of my challenge for […]

Thinking Thursday Health As many of you know, I traveled home to Philly recently to hold my Mom’s hand before she underwent heart valve replacement. Everything went well for my Mom. The “Ox” ploughs on… But, as I looked around with my Dad and sisters sitting in the same exact waiting room we did a […]

Thinking Thursday: We tap into a minuscule fraction of our potential. Therefore, don’t let your attitude get in the way of your talent. Be deliberate, positive and optimistic in your daily practice to cultivate the life you want. Success doesn’t happen by accident. #thinkingthursday #dothework #success

Thinking Thursday: Two weeks ago, I ran the Donna half marathon. As I walked to the start line, I was inspired to see the challenge athletes lined up and ready to roll. They are proof positive that you may not be able to choose your circumstances, but you can always choose your attitude, approach and […]

Thinking Thursday: Today is Brooklyn’s 5th birthday. Over the last five years, she has opened my eyes to a new world of possibilities, questioned my perspective and deepened my capacity and want to love others. I cherish and celebrate (and admire) her youthful enthusiasm to explore, experiment – and fail forward. She reminds me daily […]

Thinking Thursday: Gandhi encouraged us, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” I am so proud of my wife for following her caring heart and passion to help children in need. Today, she leaves to visit HaitiChildren, an orphanage in Haiti we support. Her model of compassionate love moves mountains and inspires. […]
