Managing the Gray

After giving the opening keynote at #FuelTheFuture I was inspired to share how much they helped the idea behind YSN to click for me.

Keeping An Open Mind and Moving Beyond Grumpies and Selfies

Fresh back from my time in Fargo for MisfitCon 2014, I'm filled with a new sense of the importance of living a purposeful life and that it IS possible. 

Living a Purposeful Life

A quick update of all that is going on in my world and the world around me. 

Updates and Thoughts - Managing the Gray 136

Back from a three week vacation with my family and loved every moment of it, but I never had any FOMO (fear of missing out) happen to me. You shouldn't either! Live life away from the screen and be in the moment rather than distracted by a device. 

No Mo FOMO

Thoughts on why we need to stop putting on social media make up every time we share something and be more honest with the world around us. 

We Need More Vulnerability and Honesty

I'm still thinking more and more about the question of "What do you do?" and why it is so important. 

Ello Initial Thoughts

Today is a gift. Tomorrow is not promised.

Announcing my new company and discussing two big recent events in my life including completing my first GORUCK Light event and attending the ONE Campaign's AYA Summit. 

Never Enough Days, GORUCK and ONE AYA Summit

Thoughts on how the world needs to remember the golden rule more than ever and realize that just because our beliefs might be different, it doesn't mean we have to hate each other.

Is It Ever TOO Late For a Great Opportunity?

Top of mind thoughts on how much I wish people would judge others based on their actions rather than their beliefs. 

Actions Vs. Beliefs

Pondering if the ability to capture and share every single moment is getting in the way of our humanity or not. 

Is Technology Getting in the Way of Humanity?

Prince's passing gave me a hugely needed nudge and I wanted to pass that nudge along to you. Stop trying to hustle and instead get to work! 

Tomorrow Is NOT Promised

On the morning after the first debate, I think people need to be reminded that screaming to social media is going to change very little. As with most things, if you want something to happen you have to get away from the screen and get to work to make it happen.

Stop Shouting. Start Doing!
