Alan loves helping people move better, get out of pain, and live a healthy, happy life. He’s absolutely crushing his personal training business after 16 or so years in the game. A chef before that. He’s big (BIG!) on service, presence, good energy, and excellent client experience. We recently had a conversation, and he talked...
This morning I went along with a friend to a business networking event. About 25 people in the room, in groups of 5, around small round tables. It kicked off with some pretty dry formalities. Scheduling, timetables. Then over coffee and a hot breakfast, each person had a 60 second slot to stand up and...
There are a lot of pseudo-spiritual quantum physics statements thrown around that sound good on paper but aren’t too useful… The second law of thermodynamics isn’t one of those. It’s a fixed law. It holds up daily. The second law tells us that in an isolated system, entropy increases with time. Or, as a system...
A short note today. I started this daily blog on December 12, 2017. I’ve written over 1,000 posts straight. In airports, on small islands, rain or shine.

A “reflection window” something we can create at the end of a project. It’s a period of time. Maybe a few hours, a day, or a few days. It allows us to get clear on what worked, what didn’t work, and what we would change if we were to re-do the whole thing, knowing what...
Usually only come along when you do certain things. If you are spearfishing, and carrying fish on a fish string behind you, for example. When it happens, they often don’t come after the fish just once, in some areas, they learn to do it repeatedly. Really, the sharks are responding to the situation you create....
There’s an inside joke you’ve probably heard around all the Zoom calls that are happening… The joke is that people are “dressed up for business” on top, then because of the desk blocking the camera, don’t need to wear any pants. Or maybe they wear pyjamas on the bottom. The thing is, your transmission isn’t...
