Ive been working the “business world” for over 10 years now. So I feel its only fitting that I vent a bit and compile my Official list of the Most Annoying Business Terms. These are the phrases and sayings that I hear so often that it makes me cringe and question my life choices. If […]
Sure!…at first. But after a couple months it stops feeling that way, and I’m not sure it ever really comes back. When I first started traveling for work I felt like a “baller”. I was so surprised that a company would actually pay for my flights and my hotel and all of my food. Surely […]
So you love to travel more than anything. So much so, that you want…no need, to find a way to make it a permanent fixture in your life. How do you make that dream a reality? One way is to write a book. Yes, easier said than done. But if you’ve done that and you’re […]

I fly a lot. So much that in a typical week I get onto a plane twice!…once at the beginning of the week and again at the end of it. And yes, it gets old. With all this flying it’s inevitable that I learn a thing or two about how the system works. These days […]
