What I Learned From Avengers: Age of Ultron
Like most people on the planet I spent my $15 to go see Avengers: Age of Ultron recently. Lisa and I had to hold off on seeing it right away because I was traveling last week, and there was NO way she was going to allow me to see it without her. Even if I… Read more
Fitness Professionals: Find Your Why
While I wouldn’t place myself in the echelon of “voracious reader,” I do read a lot. Fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies, Entertainment Weekly, it’s all fair game. Like many of my colleagues, I make a special point to read books on personal development and business. For some of my favs check out my list HERE. One book… Read more
Talent Matters
I was chatting with one of our high-school athletes yesterday when I asked how his (baseball) season had been going so far.

At some point in everyone’s life they’ve (probably) heard the phrase absent of whether or not they know the origin: Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities. Yeah, I haven’t… Read more
