A wise person once told me that when something is free, it isn’t. Since about 2009, we’ve all grown accustomed to using social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to share our lives, read the news, and keep in touch with friends and relatives. And the most amazing part about this is that you can use these platforms for FREE. All you have to do is turn over an email address and you’re in. An email address is a direct…
The kids who survived the attack at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida have made national headlines since the murderous rampage that took the lives of seventeen of their fellow classmates. At first, these students were seen as courageous, articulate souls standing up to the beast of bribed government policy.

A few short years ago you were chasing make-believe boats along gutters in the rain, now you want to be grown up. At 25 you feel caught in between. Sure, you’ve got all the stuff you wanted when you were 15, but somehow it’s not as great as you once thought. And it feels like no one takes…
I used to love Super Bowl ads. But, as the partner of a marketing firm in 2018, I can barely tolerate them now. Sure, some are quite clever. Memorable, even. And yes, I’ll watch them on Sunday.
