I’m spending the week in southern California, speaking at several middle schools in the area. This week is made even better by the location of the schools, just a short drive from my cousin’s house. It’s nice to finish a day of work and be able to pop over and visit with some of my […]
Okay, I know a bunch of you are furious. How couldn’t I like the Britney Spears episode? It’s GLEE. It’s Britney Spears? What else could I want? Simple. I wanted substance. Don’t get me wrong. The musical numbers were entertaining. Heather Morris proved herself to be an incredibly talented member of the cast. I still […]
I spent this past weekend up in Payson, Arizona the current students of the ASU Leadership Scholarship Program. It was a great experience (I should even have another video entry up soon that I shot while I was up in N. AZ). As an alum of the program, I’m always excited to see the current […]
Today, I finally got around to watching Seth Godin’s 2006 talk at the TED Gel Conference. It’s a really great presentation highlighting seven reasons why things are “broken.” Check it out: Seth Godin at Gel 2006 from Gel Conference on Vimeo. The website mentioned in the talk has been changed to the Good Experience Blog. […]
If you want to quickly become one of my good friends, invite me to go out for brunch. Seriously, I think it is one of the most overlooked meals, and yet it’s my favorite meal to share with friends. I’m not talking breakfast (don’t get me wrong—I like that meal as well), but it’s all […]
I spent Labor Day weekend at Disneyland. It was a last second trip (I decided I’d go a week ago) to surprise some of my cousins as they ran the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon. My brother joined me for the weekend, making it a hilariously fun weekend with family. We spent a great deal of time […]
Yesterday I had a great opportunity to do a leadership day at my alma mater, Leigh High School. As I led the students through various activities and discussions, I couldn’t help but also flashback to my days on campus and what “I had done” while I was in their shoes. During one discussion, a thought […]
I’m sitting in Sky Harbor right now, awaiting my flight to San Jose. Like any airport, it’s noisy. The guy next to me is watching a Star Trek DVD in between sending emails and making business calls on his Blackberry. Behind me a lady is chatting away about far too many personal details than she […]
So I stink at golf. I stink at miniature golf. I’m not even that good at Wii-Golf. The sport never really appealed to me. It always seemed like some boring event where everyone had to be quiet. When I finally played my first game of golf (first of three to date) six years ago, I […]
Yesterday, I saw Nike’s new advertisement for the 2010 World Cup. You can watch it here: I really like the ad, especially the Wayne Rooney section where he pictures his life defined by a bad play and makes the decision to change it. I’ve been thinking a lot about our life stories or our personal […]
