  • 5 Lessons A True Leader Can Take Away From The VW Super Bowl Ad

    I am excited to introduce the following article contributed exclusively to readers of this blog by Jason Monaghan from the University of Notre Dame Executive Online Education program. For a look at the ad in question, click here.  Every year when I watch the Super Bowl, it amazes me how creative organizations can be in…

  • It Was Dangerous When I Was a Kid . . . .

    One of the constants in life, nay, one thing that never seems to change is the fact that things are always changing. Take safety, for instance. As far back as I can remember people have been at least moderately interested in safety. But the concept itself has evolved tremendously, to the point where many (and…

  • Rising Above the Stage Show

    'Get out and vote,' we are told; 'Be informed and get active,' and so we who value our freedom and love our country run like a pack of lemmings to a stage show draped in red, white, and blue. 'Hooray for our side,' they yell, 'All of our problems can be neatly packaged in a…

  • The Camel’s Nose Under the Tent Flap

    People don't like to be told what to do. Even children are not very receptive to instruction. So when governments set out to take over peoples' freedoms (which means, quite simply, government telling people what to do instead of people making their own choices) they have to get crafty. Some serious skill is required. That's…

  • Poison in the Pantry

    I receive many emails covering a broad range of topics almost every day. Many deserve no more than a few second glance or a quick chuckle. Every now and then, however, I'll come across something that stops me in my tracks. This happened recently. Someone had sent me a video clip to watch and I…

  • Politics: A Bounce House

    Politics are like a children's bounce house. Everyone inside appears to be having fun, but upon further inspection we realize that this is precisely because they are children. Pandemonium is somehow the source of the entertainment.  Without it, the inhabitants would lose interest and exit.  Anyone with any sense would not seek to enter it…

  • Green Police

      Cheap Trick was my favorite band when I was a kid. It all started with the "I Want You to Want Me" song that I first heard blaring at a gas station in South Carolina while on vacation. Maybe it had to do with all the pretty girls around. Maybe it was Robin Zander's…

  • Twitter Highlights

    In our increasingly fast-paced digital world, it seems more and more thought is compressed into short little sound-bites. Lengthy, well-developed tracts are hardly read by a busy public. It is becoming more and more true that, if you want someone to read something, keep it short. In that spirit, I guess, Twitter has taken off…

  • A Bloody Mess!

    Conventional wisdom has a way of looking barbaric once proven wrong.  Take, for example, the bleeding of patients a little over a century ago. Here's how it went. Someone would be sick with either the common cold or colon cancer or anything in between, and the prescription would almost always involve removing quantities of the…

  • A Terror-able Set of New Regulations

     Anyone following my Tweets on twitter as of late will know I had a little bit of an attitude problem with the ridiculous new carry-on restrictions for anyone flying into the United States. Being a frequent traveler, these things affect me on an ongoing basis. With that being said, I understand the necessity of taking…
