I had the honor of both attending and speaking at the annual Wisdom 2.0 conference in San Francisco recently. The event was great, and one of the highlights for me was listening to an inspiring talk given by Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post. In her talk she asked us a powerful question, “Are you living … Read more
My 40th birthday was amazing! I received such beautiful blessings from so many people in my life – it was exciting, wonderful, humbling, and a bit overwhelming. As touched and honored as I was (and still am) by all of the appreciation I got, I also noticed there were moments when it was challenging for … Read more
Because of my 40th birthday, I’ve been thinking a lot about this milestone and also reflecting on age in general. 40 seems like a pretty big and important number, although it doesn’t feel how I thought it would feel. When I was younger, 40 seemed pretty old to me. Now that I’m here, my perspective … Read more

Last week I had a powerful and illuminating experience when my wife Michelle was away for the whole week. I got to spend time with my girls and solo parent which was fun, challenging, beautiful, interesting, and a great exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes – which allowed me to have an even deeper … Read more
In the spirit of “doing what works for me” I decided to record my very first video blog post (aka vlog) and instead of writing an actual article, I spoke this week’s message to the camera. I hope you like it and enjoy hearing from me this way, which may be something I do more … Read more
I hope you’re doing well and getting excited about the holiday season! With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us here in the U.S., I’m focused this week on the many blessings in my life. One of the specific things I’m grateful for is being able to connect with you. Thank you for your interest in and support … Read more
With Thanksgiving upon us here in the United States, I’ve been thinking about the mixed feelings I often have about this great holiday. Of course, it can be a wonderful celebration of gratitude, appreciation, and family connection. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving also tends to be about feeling obligated to spend time with the people we’re “supposed” to, … Read more
