When you grew up, what did you foresee doing as a career? I doubt you popped out of your mother’s womb and declared interest in photography. At least, I did not. In fact, I have tried my hand in a number of trades and continue to explore new ones. I find it not only fun, but imp

In 2009, I was at Skip’s Summer School helping a friend, Candice Cunningham, setup a booth. When everything was completed, I decided to sit in on the lectures. To my surprise, a photographer I revered was an arm’s length away. Naturally, I tapped him on the shoulder. ̶

Howdy, On Saturday, I was at Nordstrom and saw this wickedly cool watch that revealed the cogs inside. I’ve been wanting something like that for a while. In the video tutorial below, I mentioned that I didn’t want to reveal the brand because I didn’t want others to h

Youth is supposed to be ethereal, yet I felt anchored. I desperately needed a change in the wind. Rather, my sails were down…and I just needed wind. LIFE IS TOO SHORT …to be doing the same thing over and over – 40 hours a week for 40 years. In 2009, I decided to leav

In October 2009, I was in New York for PPE. I got a text message from Mike Colon asking, “Hey! Do you want to meet Grace Ormonde?” Duh. The magazine company is only the benchmark for luxury weddings. At first, I thought he was pulling my leg. I miraculously arrived at Mand

Unlike Tim Ferriss, some of us do not work 4 hours a week. For small business owners, it’s not even 40 hours a week. It’s roughly…400 hours a week. Sometimes, we’re so inundated with our work that our businesses might look like this. Does yours? If we were to l
