The Killer $5 Magazine Sale

The Killer $5 Magazine Sale

It's Saturday, and I'm typing as a small baby sleeps.   Last week I confessed to be an even greater content consumer than I've already known myself to be when I told you that aside from reading 200 books a year I also subscribe to 13 magazines. Shortly after...

How to Write Your Way to the Top

Why You Need a Slidedoc to Give a Great Presentation

  I've long admired the phenom that is Nancy Duarte. As the CEO of Duarte Design, the largest design firm in Silicon Valley and the fifth largest female employer in the area, she's a role model for many women in business, and I'm one of them. She's done a lot in her...

Pre-Order My New Book and Get $150 in Freebies!

My new book, Hope Runs, is almost here! The book, as I've said, is not the book many folks expected me to write. It's not a business, productivity, or technology book. At all. Instead, it's a joint memoir with my Kenyan foster son, all about the strange journey we've...
