Hey, you know what’s not boring? Trying new things. So today we’re trying something new. Since this blog is pretty good-sized, I get a fair amount of questions emailed to me from readers. At the start of January, I also asked everyone on my newsletter if there were any questions I could help them answer […]
I’m going to manufacture a big, scary-ass dude for you to ponder right now. I need you to help me out by imagining him along with me. His name is Lennie, and he’s a solid 6’5″, 270lb. of bricks, nails, and other things you’re not supposed to eat for breakfast. Lennie is a one-man goon […]
Want to know a simple tactic that will make your resume pop and put you at the top of the short lists of hiring managers? Eliminate the competition. Got the guts for that?

Study for that test in History of Inebriated Paleontology. Finally find Spider-Man’s cameo in (here, let me help you)Lot’s to do. Let’s get […]
I have a friend who really, likes going to our apartment pool during the summers. He likes it so much that, during this past summer, whenever he’d walk in our door we’d all immediately say, “Pool?” Flashback to a weekday during this past July. In typical fashion, my friend has proved persuasive and we’re all headed to […]

Everyone should be required to take it.” I’ve always scoffed at statements like this; for most of my high school and college career, the idea […]
Sometimes I look back on my “busy” times in college and wonder if they were really all that busy after all. Vincent Nguyen has held three internships at the same time, while still taking classes full-time. He’s reached out to some of the most popular and successful people in the online entrepreneurship world, and has […]
They say Leonardo da Vinci was a lot of things – a painter, sculptor, mathematician, inventor, cartographer, and writer, to name a few. Without a doubt, he was a great man – but I’m certain even had unproductive days. We’re all human, which means we all suck at getting things done at times – especially when […]
