So I’m in the middle of my spring speaking season, and I love it. The students are awesome and each conference or campus brings something different to the table. I really privileged in my line of work that most people share with me what they appreciated about my day at work. Students often share what […]
Remember two weeks ago? You were at school, or in your office, or checking your phone, and someone texted you or posted on your wall about this horrible YouTube video that you just had to see? The lyrics were awful, there was a strange rap sequence, and no one could figure out why it even […]
I spent some time today reading some articles on Mashable and stumbled upon a great video montage of the 25 years of Pixar. You can watch the full video here. I’m a huge fan of the company and watching the video only heightened my admiration of them. Their films consistently reinforce positive ideals and tap […]
My cousin is a huge LA Lakers fan. Last night a great deal of teasing took place in our Cousins Facebook group (yes, my family is that rad) over the fact that his sister sat in great seats for the Lakers vs. Suns game last night (and he didn’t go). Today, we joked about it […]
I spent part of this past weekend in Lexington, Kentucky for the Kentucky-Tennessee Key Club District Convention. It’s the second time I’ve keynoted the event, and I’ve always enjoyed the time with the great student leaders in the organization. I had some time on Friday before my keynote, so I ended up walking around the […]
There is a grocery store near my house called fresh & easy. It’s a new chain, based primarily in Southern California. The store seems to be modeled a bit more after grocery stores in the UK. The store isn’t terribly large. The selection is somewhat limited. The packaging for freshly prepared foods is pretty universal. […]
I spent this past weekend up in Payson, Arizona the current students of the ASU Leadership Scholarship Program. It was a great experience (I should even have another video entry up soon that I shot while I was up in N. AZ). As an alum of the program, I’m always excited to see the current […]
Today was going to be my day to sleep. Not forever, just until late into the morning. I’ve enjoyed the past few weeks, but I’ve honestly been working or doing major activities ever since August 22nd. My days at home have been packed with morning meetings or events, and my weekends have been filled with […]
I spent Labor Day weekend at Disneyland. It was a last second trip (I decided I’d go a week ago) to surprise some of my cousins as they ran the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon. My brother joined me for the weekend, making it a hilariously fun weekend with family. We spent a great deal of time […]
So it’s last Thursday. I just finished a fun Link Crew freshmen orientation at Oxnard High School, and I have a little bit of time before my flight back to Phoenix. After a crazy week of travel that has already included a trip within a trip, I decide to spoil myself and head for a […]
