The art of conversation is a dying one. People's attention spans have been hacked to pieces by billboards, smart phones, and endless digital pings… and deep conversation has been the primary casualty of our waning patience.  Which means (good news!) it's never been easier to stand out from others...

Humility is a much overlooked concept in modern society. A quick search of humility from Google brings up synonyms like "meekness, lowliness, submission".  Generally speaking, humility is seen as having a low estimate of one's own importance or accomplishments. This is an outdated definition of...

There is a tricky transition from being a boy to becoming a man.  And through this process a lot of men don't make the full journey. Boy psychology is unaware of it's place in society, primarily self-interested, avoidant, and indecisive.  Boys are reactive and thrive in the role of the victim. Man...

An unfortunate side effect of this is...

Cultivating courage is an essential process in the journey towards living your full life.  It takes courage to discover (and live) who you are. I define courage as having a strong enough of a mind to act in times of challenge, pain, or anxiety despite fear.  Not in the absence of fear… but...
