Talk about genius! (My last blog entry) I came upon a podcast on itunes that is a real gem. This is produced by the University of Minnesota, practically in my backyard, and dates back to 2002 to the present. Some of the brightest people show up on these dialogues which seem to take place three [...]

I told my friend Jean Feraca, host of Here on Earth recently how much of a genius I feel in her presence. She always brings out the best in me. She told me that was one of the nicest compliments she ever received. Truthfully, I was not going for buttering her up - I was sincere [...]

Today I have been reaching out to people to ask for endorsements for my book. It’s quite a humbling experience. It kicks up my comparison gremlins as well as my I’m-not-as-far-along-as-I-should-be-by-this-point gremlins. I’ve had to put these characters inside my head in the corner and have given them cookies to shut them up! I’ve also [...]

More and more I find myself quoting what I’ve learned from my forthcoming book, Scrappy Startups to my clients. I had hoped that my book would inspire people to create their own businesses and I’m finding that is true - even before it’s published. It’s due out in December, but hopefully it can do a lot [...]

This morning’s Good Morning America show featured a supermarket in Pennsylvania, Giant Foods in Willow Grove, where many of the employees lost a ton of weight. How did they do it?

Many people who are faced with the task of starting a blog wonder what they are going to write about. And even though I’m a writer (as well as a coach), with a book coming out in December no less (Scrappy Startups), I have had the same difficulty. What will I write about? And my [...]

Ok - I left off some time ago. I was stymied by my commitment to write about podcasts I was listening to. And then I hit a fallow time - I was really taken by the election (who wasn’t) and so was consuming all my free time focused on everything I could find on it.
Now [...]

I was just telling my friend Martha about my love affair with podcasts - actually, I’ve been telling everyone about this - sending clients my favorites to inspire them and more!
I connected the dots also - how with my strength (see Now Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham) of input being all about being a [...]
