When Good Girls Get Detention they Get PHDs

We’re all good with detention’s bad rap. It’s school after school, worse than school itself. Study hall for those who didn’t study in the first place, which is either the aptest or the least apt punishment, depending on your sense of irony. I’m starting up a book club with my super nerd friends, Daniel Andrew …

Friends Don’t Let Friends Get Out of Detention.

Let’s face it:   The worst thing about book clubs is the books themselves. I mean, having to read? On top of everything else?  Even as an avid reader, I have historically considered my engagement with book clubs more a matter of allegiance to the friends who roped me into them than to any desire (or …

The First Book I Fell in Love With Will Probably Never Make It to Any Book Club

Photo by: Anna Shvets I have a little confession: the first book I fell head over heels for was a self-help book. Yep, you heard that right. And honestly, I doubt it’ll ever grace the reading list of any book club out there. (Though, with Detention, you never know!) The book is Attached by Amir …

Detention: Book Club, Where the Cool Kids go to Read.

At my high school, we didn’t have detention, we had trash pick-up. You walked around at lunch with a plastic bucket and a claw grabber. The goal was to have us sheepishly collect litter in the bushes, banished from our peers, but the custom was to go up to groups of kids and hold out …

I Want You to Create Art as Quality as Nestor Gomez’s, Your Driver has Arrived.

McKenzie and I don’t see enough shows together. I’m a blue haired storyteller who writes and produces more than he creates and McKenzie is a cute bespectacled director of finance type. She volunteers-to-get-free-tickets because she LOVES theater. So, when our couple’s counselor assured us, “You’ve been together for over a decade. You need to do …

The Official Slacker’s MasterMind

Hugs for Free Hugs for 1 dollar

You see, I’ve spent the last 2 years testing out various Mastermind Groups as well as running my own.

Through the end of this year I’ll be testing out an all new framework for a paid mastermind that’s focused on people who have accomplished a lot in their lives, but still feel like they’re behind the 8-ball compared to their peers. I’ve found what those people are missing: a good group of objective work friends and accountability triggers.

Why It’s Important to Polarize Your Audience.

Imagine, Merlin’s Magical Ice Cream Shop!

In this ice cream shop there are an infinite number of flavors available to choose from. How many flavors would you try before giving up? Of course you could just get vanilla, but everyone likes vanilla. That’s safe, right? But I wonder, if it’s so simple that everyone likes it, is it even worth trying?
