I stepped out (really far out) of my comfort zone last week and signed up to be a guest speaker on Neil Howe's show Business Authority Radio to talk about building a positive company culture in the workplace. It was the first time I've ever had a recorded interview,...
In the past, work was a location. People drove to work, clocked in and out, and when they left the office, they didn’t return to their work until the following morning. Trying to maintain a healthy work/life balance in a tech overloaded world where everything is...
Co-working spaces are growing in popularity, especially with the increase in freelance and remote work. While working from home has its benefits, many times people find themselves needing to get out of the house to be in the company of other people. Some co-working...
Okay, not really. I can actually work in an office just fine. I've worked in places with amazing co-workers, felt good about the work I was doing there, and am grateful for all the opportunities that I've had. I've learned valuable lessons from every single one of...

We've all heard that quote that's mis-attributed to Benjamin Franklin about "beer being proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy," but I'm fairly certain the same can be said for tacos. In fact, I'd argue that tacos > beer. (Keep your pants on, beer...
"Always give a little more than you promise." I'm not sure where the original artwork or the quote itself came from, but it's been circling around Pinterest for some time. I think that in business, there are fewer GREAT ways to build a loyal customer base. It's such a...
I have not written nearly as much as I would have liked this year, but I wanted to make a point to at least write about some of the things that helped shape and bring together all of the good that has happened to me in 2012. Here are a few of those somethings. I'm...
