For some reason I’ve really been thinking about that Tough Mudder I did back around 2016…and just comparing it to how we succeed…or fail today. They build this course so the only way you can truly make it through is with teamwork. One obstacle requires 3-4 people to lay on a ramp at a steep…

I thought about this question today and compared it to a simple carpentry project. Goal is to build/create something and that is going to require some sort of fastener…probably nails or screws. Some tool will be used to insert the fastener…might be a hammer, impact wrench, nail gun…heck I’ve seen a variety of items used…

I can remember the days when we would write letters, pass them to each other and then have to wait for another letter to get a response.

How many “good ideas” or improvements have never happened because you or someone else kept it to themselves? This can happen for many reasons…but like the title says: “the answer to every unasked question is “no””. Maybe you “thought” you knew the idea would get shot down. Perhaps the person you have to ask has…

Many times when we hear the word “invest” we think money. Investing effort in making you better can be just as valuable…maybe even better. The best thing…companies are willing to help invest in you because a better you is good for them. This might seem like a pat on the back, but this is just…

If my memory serves me correctly, every year in school I took some sort of English class. Along my journey through school I was also given the opportunity to take a year of Spanish and 3 years of French (I remember very little). One language they never really teach you about is body language. This…
