For me writing is as close to being an engineer as possible.

Luck favors the people who are willing to grind it out.

I do have a peripatetic and active intellectual curiosity.

Accept diversity and don't take any crap.

'Branding' has taken on too much of a role as a specialized craft performed by voodoo artists.

What I lack in talent, I compensate with my willingness to grind it out.

Most of my life is over. I am going to enjoy my family and friends before any of us depart this earth. I'll never start another company. I'll never work long hours again. At this point in my life, I only answer to God, my wife, and my kids. Everything else is secondary - especially the expectations of strangers.
