A couple of weeks ago in my post Southwest Airlines, I wrote about how amazing they are compared to other airlines. This past week I had the opportunity to fly American Airlines and let them prove me wrong. Guess where I’m sitting…in the airport having just missed my flight. Now, the important thing to know
My mom used to get on to us as kids whenever she said something, and we responded with a “huh?” She would be like, “huh is not a response. And besides, I know you heard me!” The truth is, we probably did. (Since she reads these, I’m sure you’ll hear an audible WOO HOO outside

Tomorrow is a brand spankin’ new year! And with each new year, comes resolutions. In our business, we have two New Year’s: one at the beginning of each year, and one when the kids go back to school. Both times of year people decide that they are going to get their finances in order. It’s

There are two types of racing that I love: alpine skiing and formula car, both of which I continue to participated in. Growing up in Tahoe we tore teams apart on a regular basis. We were a bunch of misfits, kinda like the Bad News Bears. Some of the kids were from broken homes and
Well, maybe not this minute, but someday. Okay, I actually can’t see myself ever really retiring. If you can do something you love, and you’re called to, why would you stop doing it? According to Rabbi Daniel Lapin there isn’t a word in the Hebrew for retire. It’s an understanding to the Jewish people that
