The widely known and greatly respected 1939 film The Wizard of Oz has certainly gone down in the history books as one of the most best-loved films of all time.  In fact, it spawned my absolutely favorite Broadway musical: Wicked.  On the surface, both the film and the musical can be perceived as simply great … Continue reading Dorothy & Her Friends Already Had It & You Do Too! →

Though I live in the creative world, I wear a strong corporate hat as well.  I'm one of those equally blessed right and left brained people (yes, I do consider it a blessing).  I love to create a great product, but I also love (and desire) to see it presented in a grand and excellent … Continue reading Frontline People = Brand Success/Failure →

For those who don't know, I'm an avid reader.  I used to pour through countless traditionally printed books (which, I do miss), but the past several months I've moved over to eBooks using the new NookCOLOR.  I love it!  As an avid reader on leadership, creativity, project management, and post-modernism, I thought I'd share a … Continue reading To read or not to read… →

Most people still carried actual dollar bills and change (the little round things with president's heads on them). Many times, you had the "change" needed on you for a particular transaction. Change … Continue reading Loose Change: Is It Worth It? →

Earth produced green seed-bearing plants, all varieties, And fruit-bearing trees of all sorts. God saw that it was good. God spoke: "Swarm, Ocean, with fish and all sea life! Birds, fly through the sky over … Continue reading Look. Listen. Live. →

How do you rate success? Of course, the actual act of reaching "success" is purely one of relevancy and personal opinion. Does making an annual $50,000, $75,000 or even $250,000 denote success? Does having a roof over your head, clothes on your back and a decent vehicle to drive denote success? Does being a member … Continue reading How do you rate success?? →

So, here's a sad, yet true story... We have a family membership to our county's local recreation center (sort of like a nice YMCA). And, depending on my schedule, I either get up early to head to the gym or go during lunch. When I go in the mornings, I get up quite early. With … Continue reading Are your pants on backward? →

In the Greater Nashville area, probably due to the country music scene, the growing contemporary Christian music scene, and several other major industries, there's an unfortunate high level of cynicism towards and in the church throughout many a session player, singer, studio head, engineer, etc. Like me, several have also been been jaded by things/people … Continue reading Are you over-defending the castle? →
