Hello again, my friends. I'm delighted you are here. This is one of my favorite teachings on what helps people be more successful. In this article, we are going to talk about the pros and cons of intelligence. The intelligence measurement that most of us are familiar with is IQ (Intelligence Quotient). That's how effectively you use our brain. Of course, it is an important factor in your success. You need to be able to function intellectually in society. You have to be able to think clearly and logically. But actually, your IQ has less to do with your success personally and … [Read more...]
Don’t Drink the Haterade
Hello, my friends. I recorded this video blog early on the Monday morning following the 2018 Super Bowl. I had watched the team I love and have rooted for since I was a child lose a very tough game. But here I am in the video – the very next day – smiling. As I take a sip of my morning coffee, I say there is something that I don't want you to drink, and that's “Haterade.” Don't Drink the Haterade. Forgive me if this comes across as preachy; I don't mean it that way. But in the heat of all the hype of a big game, there's a lot of emotion tied up in sporting events.

Be My Valentine
Hello, my friends. This blog comes to you on February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Many think that Valentine’s Day is all about candy and flowers, romantic dinners, and diamonds. (And it is to some extent.) But my message today will give you a little bit of a different perspective on Valentine’s Day. It is actually the feast day of St. Valentine of Rome. I remember as a kid going to the St. Valentine feasts in the north end of Boston. St. Valentine was a third century Roman saint, the patron saint of young people, engaged couples, happy marriages, and interestingly, of people who suffered … [Read more...]
Does Your Walk Talk?
Hello, my friends. I feel a little bit like a Sesame Street episode, where each show is "brought to you by" a certain letter of the alphabet. I feel that way because this subject is actually brought to you, through me, but from two men that I love and who are very close to me – close to my head, my heart, and my life. Those men are John Maxwell and Brian DeCosta. John Maxwell is my friend, mentor, and business partner. You know him because he is the number one leadership guru in the world, and on top of that, he is a world-renowned speaker. It has been an honor to be around John f … [Read more...]
Avoid Destination Disease
Hello, my friends. Today I want to talk about Destination Disease. As an adjunct professor in the college of business, I get to teach MBA students and seniors in the undergraduate program. I speak to people of all ages. It is not uncommon in these arenas to observe the onset of Destination Disease. This is the malady whereby you put off the most important things in life in order to reach a certain, yet elusive, “destination.” “Someday when I have enough _____, I will _____.” The problem is, you never have enough to actually do those things that are most important to you. One of t … [Read more...]
