Buying a Car? Watch Out For This.

A new twist on a classic underhanded move — I was treated to a slightly new (to me) twist on the classic bait-and-switch by a car dealership yesterday. I’ve been through the “Dude, you’re not going to believe this, but that car you called about just sold 15 minutes ago. Can I show you something else more expensive?” …

Three Mistakes That Keep Tanking Your Relationships

Get out of that wash-rinse-repeat cycle — Breaking up sucks. I’ve honestly never been through one that felt good — even the ones I was eager to initiate. You spend time, money, and both mental and emotional energy on someone, only to eventually get to a place where you know it just isn’t going to work. Which…

Blogging Is the Karaoke of Writing

Hey! I like karaoke! — I walked into a resort club one hot, steamy Saturday evening in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. I had my family with me, including my then-one-year-old son. I could tell from up the sidewalk that we were not in for a quiet, relaxing evening. The sounds emanating from that club were both…

So You’re Already in Your 40s. It’s Still Not Too Late!

Even if you’re not there yet, listen up — Your 40s can be a mind bender. I remember being a teenager who didn’t even know what to care about. Then I was in my 20s and caring about the wrong things. Then my 30s came along and suddenly I was faced with something I’d never felt before: regret. …

You’re Wasting Your Time on Bad Coping Skills

Do these two things instead — You fancy yourself a writer, but you can’t find the words. You want to be financially secure but your bills are piling up while your bank account isn’t.

I Rekindled My Content Generator (My Brain) By Upgrading My Space

I was told this would work, but it didn’t make sense until I did it — So much of writing gets stopped up right between your ears. You can sit around and come up with idea after idea, but when you go to put it down in written form, it just leaves. Or maybe it doesn’t, but your confidence wavers, and you quit. It sounds stupid…

Go Ahead and Compromise In Your Relationship

It’s not selling out, it’s buying in — How to instantly screw up a good thing A friend accused me once of selling out my manhood for deciding to forgo a sports event in favor of spending time with my wife. “Bro. Be a MAN!” he implored. “Don’t let your wife take away who you are!” I made a huge mistake in responding to this shot…

Be More Selfish

And by that, I mean practice more self-care — He was burned out. Completely down to the nub of usefulness to others. “Frank, I’m just so run down lately,” a work buddy told me recently. “I can’t get my head back into the game of life.” A trained combat medic, he is now relegated to the position of managing…
