Character Development

I've written in the past about the best type of intimate partner for an entrepreneur, and things that driven people need in their love lives, but what about when both of the people in the relationship are entrepreneurs and/or self-employed? I get this question quite regularly so I thought I would...

If you have a girlfriend/wife/female partner, once every 28 days or so her uterus stages a revolt against her inside of her body. I’ve had my girlfriend explain to me what period cramps feel like, and it sounds like hell. The best way that I could summarize her description of her period (for...

One of the biggest problems that many of my clients face in their intimate relationships is battling their inner innate sense of worthiness. That is to say, they don't feel worthy of love from someone outside of themselves unless certain conditions are being met first. Well, guess what... here's...

Over the past three years, I’ve discovered that I really enjoy writing. Like… a LOT, a lot. Along with this realization has come my personal practice of sharing a ton of super personal things on Facebook. Sometimes I was doing it to let off some steam… Sometimes I was doing...

I was on a weekend retreat in Colorado with thirty other people. Each of the people that were there was selected by the primary criteria of them all being young entrepreneurs who were game-changers in their field (according to the event organizers). There was one woman in particular who I really felt...

Looking to find and date a high quality partner? You're in luck!

There are times when I’ll be in the middle of a big, exciting work push and I’ll forget to have any proper fun, downtime, or self-care for weeks on end. And then it catches up to me.
