I just published the 25th issue of Sunday| Mag on Saturday. Yep, I’ve now been doing this thing for over two years. With the new issue, I launched a redesign. It wasn’t just a facelift. It was in preparation of a new asset joining me in making it happen. On Monday, I welcomed Scott McClellan…

My wife, sister-in-law, and longtime friend got together to watch a movie the other night. They made it a girls’ night out. Apparently, while they were together, the topic of my obsessive nature came up. My wife told me about the conversation later that night.

Cancer’s always been a bit of a mysterious evil to me. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea what it actually was. Fortunately, my wife is excessively smart and she learned about it during her pre-med undergraduate degree. So I asked her to explain it to me. Basically, cancer is when cells…

Did you know there’s an optimum sound level for creativity? It’s 70 decibels. It’s about the amount of volume you’d hear due to ambient noise at a coffee shop. I guess there’s a reason some people feel extra creative at coffee shops. There’s also an ideal temperature. Warm. I’m a firm believer in creating an atmosphere…

So many people dream of being self-employed. I’m living that dream. It’d be easy to look at my life and assume it’s heaven. I wake up when I want. I can take long lunch breaks. I hit up Starbucks whenever I like (I’m at one right now). But it’s because of those freedoms that self-employment…

Did you know Southwest Airlines was dreamed up on a paper napkin? The company’s founder drew out the initial idea on a cocktail napkin. It was a triangle representing the three cities the airline would fly between. It was a massively simple idea meant to make business travel in Texas easier. I love how some…

Mercury is in retrograde. Normally, the planet Mercury appears to travel from west to east across the night sky. But right now, Mercury will is traveling westward. If you could watch it happen all at once, Mercury appears to slow down its movement, stop, reverse direction, slow down, stop, then reverse direction again. How is…
