Boardwalk or Park Place?
I shared a video with my Leadership Masterclass yesterday. It was Marie Forleo interviewing Seth Godin about failure. He shared a story about playing the game Monopoly with his children to convey this brilliant metaphor. We all know Monopoly can be fun, and I say,...
Either Way Will Do
The other day, Doug and I were headed down the NJ Turnpike to visit his mom. Shortly after entering the Turnpike, we were given a choice: Car Lane or Car & Truck Lane. Intuitively, I always want to take the Car Lane, thinking it will be less chaotic, but there's...

Motivational Monday!
