50 Shades of Entrepreneurial Gray
There’s no way to do it that makes every human smile. Only shades of gray. Or pink. Or blue. 50 or more, for sure… Your job, at every step along the path from hello to hell yes is to entice. To serve. To experiment, with respect and grace and, permission. The aim, the ultimate quest, […]
Words Matter, Even the Ones Nobody Sees
Shortly after launching my first fitness facility, I wrote an article on marketing for what was then the leading industry magazine.

The Killer App is You
The ad said something like: “This ride will very likely kill you or, at least, seriously injure you…and your ego.” The ride described was a weeklong guided mountain bike trek.

Naked and Silent
What if the only thing standing between you and what you want is you, but you have no idea it’s true? Sampson: I’ve built something incredible, we’re working with world-class people and world-class clients. We’re the best at what we do, nobody can touch us.

Align Then Build
2007. I’m devouring every fitness and therapeutic certification I can find. I stumble upon something called the Egoscue Method. It was created by a Pete Egoscue. Most pain, says Pete, is the result of “postural dysfunction.” There are 8 major load-bearing joints in the body. Your ankles, knees, hips and shoulders. When those don’t stack […]

I’m reading the fantastic December 19th Rolling Stone cover story, Anchor Management, about the improvisational movie-making odyssey that’s become Anchorman and it’s recently-released sequel, Anchorman 2.
