  New digs, new book, new lifeOctober 14, 2021
  A brief-ish check-in here, at least by my standards. I left Philadelphia in May and headed west, looking for an intentional community. My first stop was Dancing Rabbit eco-villege in Missouri, which was very good (read my in-depth review here), but I kept on moving. I am now in an […]

  On the road, in search of utopiaMay 9, 2021
  Dear friends, If you have been tracking me here, you will recall I finally retired from the web business last October (in retrospect, I don’t think I am very good at business) and hit the road with Bubble the Truck. That trip took me to Philadelphia and then Boston, where […]

  How to talk to the voices inside your headDecember 31, 2020

  The year 2020 in review (oy vey…)December 28, 2020
  I have been silent on this list for so long, I don’t even know where to start. I left Asheville in October and hit the road in my new outfitted truck, named “Bubble”. How that came about is its own story; but two factors weighed in heavily: first, after Covid […]

  What is Relational Leadership? (some embarrassing reveals)December 21, 2020
  This is a very personal article, especially in part 2 where I speak of my own failings (you can skip to the juicy parts directly in Relational Leadership, Part 2: How I learned to be less of an asshole). I hope to illustrate my belief, that most of us learn […]
