Nut Personalities | Which Nut Are You?
I had a bowl of pistachio nuts tonight for dinner.

You Want Something? Go Get It. Period.
“You Want Something? Go Get it. Period.” I’ll never forget that line from Will Smith in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness. I didn’t think the movie itself was that great, but wow, that quote really stuck with me.
The end of the year is always such an introspective time for us all. I know it ...

Even after being completely self-employed for over a decade, I still get inspired by the story of the bumble bee. Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly.
