Don’t Let Writers and Influencers Control Your Narrative
Jessica Grose’s recent New York Times review of Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation she describes a memoir that wants to be purely personal yet repeatedly drifts into the language of 12-step recovery and spiritual self-help.

Building from Brilliance
Some communities have developed recognizable economic signatures. Jewish merchants, shaped by centuries of restrictions on land ownership, mastered literacy and finance, creating networks of trade and professional services.

What Are You Willing to Risk?
Have you ever planned something – visualized exactly how it was going to unfold and then experience something totally beyond your control? That’s how it was for me when I met Arnold Best. We were meeting at half past one at Rituals in St. Ann’s. I got there about quarter after to settle myself and…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
