Reading through Dr. Mark Goulston’s blog posts, I noticed a piece about independence. He explains that the successful people he coaches have the follow three attributes in common: self-reliance, resourcefulness and coachability. Many of us will take on additional responsibility and we’ll look for ways to leverage resources but we miss out on these high [...]

The Battle Between Laziness & Gratitude
No man is an island…Well, maybe Roy Bragg. Other than Roy, the rest of us depend on others. Sometimes with large needs and sometimes with the trivial. Wrapped with our needs is busyness. We have our friends and family with us, the phone ringing, the email inbox filling up and the social network messages piling [...]
Learning from Everyone
Last Saturday, National Council of La Raza’s (NCLR) Annual Conference came to San Antonio. I had the pleasure of volunteering with some of my BMPR pals. We volunteered to be citizen journalists as well as teach social media to anyone during the conference. In my first interview I met a well-kept man in his mid [...]
Sometimes It’s You
Sometimes it’s you… that was wrong. that saved the day. that has to take the first step. that needs a break. that can do it, because no one else can. that has to say “I’m sorry.” that lends a helping hand. that doesn’t deserve it. that believes in others. that pushes it over the edge. [...]
New York City – It’s YouTube in Real Life
Joe Gallo (@jgallo02) kindly allowed me to guest blog my ramblings on his awesome site, Tales of a New Yorker. A big thank you to Michael Bettiol (@bettiol) for making the connection. Below is NYC through my eyes. “I posted a video on YouTube and I’m getting the weirdest responses…some people have said some really [...]
Sometimes You Have a Bad Day
My family and I attended one of the most amazing weddings in New Jersey this June. My parents flew in on American Airlines, I flew in on my old friend, Southwest Airlines and my sister tried a new airline – JetBlue. I’ve not yet had that the pleasure of travelling on JetBlue, but my pal [...]
Privacy Concerns Don’t Matter
There’s so much chatter surrounding your privacy online. People are often amazed when I tell them that I not only know where they live but how much their house cost because of the local tax appraisal district website. *gasp* If I take five minutes I can likely find your email address, figure out where you [...]
My View on the Burns, Bacsik, Bowen Issue
During a recent Spurs game, Mike Bacsik (@mikebacsik) wrote despicable tweets that would make most people cringe. Today, Peter Burns (@peterburnsradio) and Bruce Bowen (@bowen12) hosted Mike to talk about the situation. Unfortunately, the discussion between Bruce and Peter turned sour. Each was passionate about their position. Mike was wrong, undoubtedly, and some suggest that [...]
You’re the Worst, I Have Proof
Have you ever been told “that person can do no wrong in your eyes” or “give the guy another chance, he’s a really nice person”? This past week I found out that those preconceived notions have a name: Hypothesis Bias or Confirmation Bias. In the case of someone you may not like, you’ll look for [...]
Jesus and the iPad
The past few weekends have been brilliant in proving that audiences vary all over the world. Two different events with which I had a personal experience painted a vivid picture. First, the iPad launch. I’ve read a number of tweets, blogs and even a clip on Modern Family asking why someone needs an iPad. It’s [...]
