Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Warren Buffet. Mark Zuckerberg. Sergey Brin. Jack Dorsey. The old and the new. What do all of these fellows have in common besides the fact that they are all gazillionaires? They all started their respective businesses before they hit the ripe old age of 30. We're living in a time unlike...
Successful people are successful for a reason. They tend to have traits that the every day man does not, or rather (the way I like to see it), traits that the every day man CHOOSES not to "have." Lucky for us though, they are always willing to share their daily rituals and learnings that helped...
Several months ago I ran into an old high school friend, Evan Cassidy, at, you guessed it, the local bar. We got a chance to catch up and much to my surprise he mentioned that he is a full-time stand-up comedian. He currently hosts his own act called Straight Fudgin' Comedy at the Brea Improv...
One of my best friends is graduating college this month and I couldn't be any happier for him. He spent most of his "college years" serving his nation in the Army so it's great to finally see him accomplish this feat.

We always hear about these "live your life" cliche talks, presentations, and articles from every single corner of the world, but they never do seem to really stick unless some worthy context is thrown into the mix.

The below video has caught like wild fire ever since it launched a few days ago. Dove has been on this up and down marketing cycle for quite some time, but this latest effort truly is fantastic. This video puts a positive spin on an image-centric society and changes the way we perceive not only...
First there was SOPA, now there is CISPA, Cyber Intelligence and Sharing Protection Act. Long story short, Congress (along with their evil heavyweight lobbyists and media backers) is at it again to obliterate any resemblance of online privacy that we have left. In an "effort" to enhance America's defenses against future cyber attacks, CISPA aims...
Came across this interesting clip of Whole Foods CEO, John Mackey, explaining his thought process behind taking the company public. He sets out to debunk the myth that a public company's stakeholders are not as notoriously difficult as they are known to be, and rather it is the customers that are the difficult ones to...
Has our world's water problem just been solved?! Ahh, wishful thinking. Probably not, but at least a few more people now have access to fresh, clean water. In this particular case, villages in Lima, Peru get virtually no rain yet have an incredibly high humidity rate. UTEC developed this brilliant idea to capture the air's...
