  • There Are Jobs to Be Had

    There Are Jobs to Be Had

    For six months, I’ve been talking about the challenge of this job market, especially for people just entering the professional workforce. Let me be clear: It’s tough… but not 2009 tough. Or 2001 tough. Or even 1991 tough.* Unemployment remains relatively low. Companies are hiring. Just not in droves. You might need to take something adjacent to what…

    What If Artificial Intelligence Is Just a 2-Star Uber-Ride to Enshittification?

    Not long ago, you could get an Uber across midtown Manhattan for $5. Much easier and cheaper than hailing a $10 taxi. Why not download the app and set up an account?

Hatch, a dad-joking Mormon from Utah saw the liberal Kennedy as the embodiment of all that was wrong with Washington. Hatch didn’t drink or swear, and played wholesome songs on the piano. Kennedy, an establishment powerhouse, was larger than life…

    Honored to Join the TEDx Stage in Jacksonville

    In 2005, I sat in an audience, totally captivated while a keynote speaker delivered the best speech I’d ever heard. He was witty, charming, and deeply resonant on the topic of creativity. I left the conference determined to share his message, but I could never do his words justice. A few years later, a friend…
