Since returning from my trip to India, I’ve reconnected with a number of friends, and I routinely get the “So,… what are you doing now?” question. After fielding it a number of times over this past weekend, I thought I should do a better job of getting the word out to my friends.
I’ve been […]

I have been on the road for over a month now, and I’ve finally found myself back in Mahableshwar, and on vacation until the second week of January. This break really couldn’t have come at a better time, as I am really feeling the effects of traveling and working for a month. So […]

The leaves are falling in Seattle, and for the third year in a row, I’ll be taking off in a couple weeks for warmer climates below the equator. The difference this year, is that I’m going primarily for work purposes, and I’ll be traveling around India instead of to Brazil, as I did the […]

Someone did a great job of marketing this book… which, after reading it, doesn’t surprise me at all. Keith probably knows all the right people that would put his book front and center at every major bookstore in the US. Even though I just read it, I’ve known about it since it […]

An hour ago, I landed in Brazil. It’s amazing how the life I left 9 months ago can come back in 9 seconds. The soft sounds of Portuguese, the building construction, the favelas I can see off in the distance out the airport window… I haven’t even set foot outside of […]

18 months ago my life was the Chutes and Ladders board game. I had a path laid out ahead of me, and while there were both great achievements and setbacks, it was just a matter of time until I reach the destination. The problem was that I didn’t to choose […]

Last night, I had a beer with Curt Rosengren, whom I met originally over a year ago, and who was one of the primary people who first encouraged me to start blogging. Curt calls himself a “Passion Catalyst” and has been self-employed as a career coach for quite some time now. When I […]
