1000 Awesome Things
While in Toronto on Sunday, I had a nice dinner visit with some of the people I worked with at the Sundance Film Festival this past January. It was really nice to catch up with them and hear about the amazing things taking place in their lives. As the evening progressed, the conversation went down […]

HSBC
I’m sitting right now at the Toronto International Airport getting ready to fly home. It’s the third time I’ve flown out of this airport in the last six months. I’m a huge fan of the whole airport–it’s beautifully laid out with high ceilings and natural light lining the way, clean and accurate signs and directing […]

The chorus lyrics couldn’t be any clearer: I‘m Starting With The Man In The Mirror I’m Asking Him To Change His Ways And No Message Could Have Been […]

Life Raft Debate
I recently listened to the March 12, 2010 episode of This American Life. It was another captivating hour of listening this time focusing on a series of stories of one person singlehandedly taking control of a situation. My favorite was from the final ACT. Here is the description of that story directly from the This […]
