Not “need” as in: food, water, and shelter. Need, as in: what do you really need in your life? One of the easiest ways to answer this is to move. As you’re bubble wrapping your shot glasses from Charleston, cleaning out the back of your fridge and packing boxes full of miscellaneous little knickknacks, you’ll […]
Philadelphia Non-Profit Seeking Marketing Coordinator
Last year, I joined the board of Council For Relationships, a Philadelphia-based non-profit that provides mental health services to anyone regardless of their ability to pay.

Me.com Is The Privacy-Focused Social Network That Only Apple Can Build
The problem isn’t that it’s impossible to create a profitable, privacy-focused social network that supports free speech while also protecting people from harassment. It’s that the current platforms don’t seem to have any incentive to do that. Part of the issue is that mining and monetizing people’s data has been so damn profitable. Therefore, the […]

Remember that time I was right about…
When I look back on all of my predictions, I’m stunned by my prescience. It’s as if I’ve been right about FAR MORE than I’ve been wrong. You need to know that this skill can be cultivated…and you’ll be AMAZED by how easy it is. Do you want to learn how to do this? I […]
Crappy work!
A man walks into a French Bistro… He sits down for lunch. After looking over the menu, he decides to try something new…Duck Confit. Oh, and he asks for it “well-done.” Relative to the preparation of a sandwich, Duck confit is a labor of love. Cooking the duck takes several hours, on top of the […]
