We could also title this: The journey from America’s Mayor to spittle-dripping, frothy-mouthed, ignorant conspiracy-theory uttering village idiot. Or, perhaps just a planned liar. Giuliani’s Tweet Back on Nov 30th, Rudy Giuliani tweeted (an untruthful one at that) about the Mueller investigation and Trump leaving for the G-20 summit. Inadvertently, he did not include a […]
I’m Confident That’s what people tell me anyway. I’ve got them all fooled! 😉 The truth is, I am confident in certain, very noticeable, areas – performing live (at times), speaking in public, running meetings, meeting with clients, and writing & publishing content. I’m often far less confident in others. Because my confidence is in […]
This is like the frequent, semi-committed, YouTuber who starts every video with, “It’s been awhile since I posted, let me catch you up…” Although, truth is, I haven’t been on hiatus or gone… I’ve been right here. Well, sometimes I’ve been over there. But, rest-assured, I’ve been somewhere and plan to be somewhere for as […]
How a cowgirl and broken-hearted crush wrote a song She’s thinkin’, as he’s leavin’ “Ain’t it somethin’ this relief I’m feeling” There ain’t no broken heart in sight So she saddles up for a midnight ride Hoof-beats match her heart beat stride for stride Her life gets a little clearer tonight Back in 2007/2008 I […]
FAR-West Conference 2018 This weekend I will be attending the FAR-West conference in Woodland Hills, CA. A couple two or three hundred musicians, songwriters, venue owners, promoters, etc. While Folk music figures prominently, Folk is/has, like most musical genres, experienced a broadening over the past several years – including more blues, rock, country, and even […]
God! I hope the title is good enough click-bait. Disclaimer: I’m not running this by an editor. Spelling, grammar, and usage may all be subject. But, if that is your takeaway, well… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is NOT about Kavanaugh & Ford This isn’t about the Supreme Court nomination hearings. Politically-focused responses about that are going to […]
Later today I’m speaking to a business networking meeting – giving my presentation, The Entrepreneurial Careerist. It covers highly proactive attitudes and strategies for professional growth. Here is the event announcement on LinkedIn. They asked me to provide a handout with a bio. I didn’t like what I had. Because many of my speaking engagements […]
The alliteration above; sorry, that’s what I got! I normally try to hit the gym between 5:00am and 6:00am. But, due to the “stuff of life”, I couldn’t yesterday. There are “things” to attend to. And those things took longer than I had planned with less resolution than I desired. Note: I’m being intentionally vague […]
I always wanted to write. My mother would say it is because I could not shut up! Admittedly, I’ve always had a glut of words tumbling out of me. I’ve told this story before but many years ago I spoke at a business event. My mom had been invited and was sitting at the head […]
Last month I took my daughter’s friend to LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). I had a performance later that evening in Orange County, so, even though their flight was early evening, I took them at approximately 1:30pm. My goal was to avoid traffic, get down to Orange County early, and work at a coffee house […]
