We used to believe that using tools is what separates humans from the animals. And then we saw chimps using sticks to get a quick termite lunch. And a whole bunch of other animals using tools in creative ways. (Like ravens bending paperclips into hooks so they can solve complex puzzles & problems.) So it's […]
If I asked you to draw the Mona Lisa in 30 seconds & in 30 days, which version do you think you'd be more proud of? 30 days. When it comes to creative problem solving, having more time can lead to surprising results. That's why I'm so excited for the upcoming Mario game from Nintendo. […]
Give it a watch here: https://youtu.be/LchpyHR46Ek Can you tell I haven't had enough coffee yet? X^D
Here's another "on the road" / "behind the scenes" video I made while on the road recently. I had the chance to tour the capitol building in Cheyenne Wyoming and I saw some beautiful sculptures that I had to share. Thinking in 3-D is difficult. I took a couple sculpture classes in college & there […]
It's time for Frivolous Friday, so let's take a look at a video I watched this week. Warning: Once you see it, you'll never be able to un-see what you're about to learn. Content is a garbage word for a garbage world. I'm what you might call a "content creator." I write articles. Books. I […]
One of the most common questions / comments I get is how I get so much done. I write books, make videos, make podcasts (sometimes), travel, perform shows, consult with clients (corporate & personal), practice martial arts & Mandarin, have a family, etc etc. So I'm ready to spill the beans on something that I've […]
You've heard the self-congratulatory saying, "The early bird gets the worm" I'm sure. Now let me add on to it: "But the night owl gets the mouse." Ha! Left to my own devices I'd rather stay up until 4am, go to bed, and wake up around 11am. That's the perfect schedule for me. Unfortunately, the […]
This is me with very little sleep & a lot to do. Enjoy this quick behind-the-scenes video from a show I did a couple days ago on Friday. If you'd like more tour videos & "life on the road" stuff, let me know & I'll make more!
2 weeks ago I was gone for 7 days speaking at a conference & doing a college engagement. I flew home on a Sunday, and then Monday my wife headed out for 4 days for a conference that she was speaking at. She got home Thursday night at 10pm. 5 hours later I get up […]
I had a show Friday night, and I got an honest-to-goodness green room / dressing room (with amazing lighting; hence the selfie)! I love the tradition of signing the wall. If you have a production, then you gotta put your mark on there. This particular dressing room is about an hour outside Des Moines Iowa, […]
