So I had a mini-breakthrough yesterday after chatting with a friend of mine in the morning… I am constantly seeking external validation. The context of the conversation was actually in regards to my recent dating experiences, but I realized it extended well beyond that. Simply – I am always yearning for recognition by the individuals […]
I took a gamble, and it didn’t pay off. At the end of this past summer, I left my comfortable gig as Director of Marketing for a men’s fashion brand and took the leap to become VP of Marketing at a plant-based meal delivery company. I was extremely excited at the time as I felt […]
So, it’s the time of year again when most people are setting up resolutions that they will quickly give up a few weeks later. We’ve all done it. The new year comes around, we have this burst of energy and inspiration to do better, and then gone… There’s a variety of reasons why people give […]
2015 – The year I had hoped would be radically different from 2014. In some ways it was, in some ways it wasn’t. As I approach my 26th spin around the sun (as my good friend Nate used to say), I wanted to take a look back and discuss a few things that I haven’t […]
I was trying to think of an appropriate title for this post, but it seems only fitting that the name of Tupac Shakur should imply enough importance as it is. 19 years ago today, the world lost a soul who was wise beyond his years. Tupac was not only at the top of the rap game in […]
So the title may be pretty vague… what am I referring to exactly? What should you be broadening? In short – anything and everything that you have the chance to. I have to admit that I have lived a pretty sheltered life, and as a result that has made me somewhat narrow sighted. At one […]
I did have a third category of discussing things that I’ve learned from being in an advertising career for the last three years, but as I am currently an active job seeker – I will refrain from any comments that could be misconstrued at the moment. I will definitely touch on this topic eventually! In […]
What a year it has been for friendships… let’s start with the harsh fact that I realized this year: life happens. Well that’s quite a generic statement, what do you mean Tyrell? What I mean is a few things. This year I had two of my closest friends move to other countries where a “short” flight […]
Where to start? I guess we could go chronologically but the fact is (and in life), nothing happens in order… there is always a mix of things happening at once. I guess one of the biggest impacts this year was going from living and seeing my ex-girlfriend on a daily basis to nothing at all. […]
Saturday will mark my 25th year of entering and contributing (I’d like to think so, but this is sometimes questionable) to this planet we call Earth. While a lot has happened in 25 years, it was 2014 that was probably the biggest eye opener for me for a few reasons. What I am about to […]
