So What if My Role Model is a Pot Dealer: Entrepreneurial Lessons from “Weeds”

I’ve made no secret of my certain affection for a fictitious middle-aged widow who supports her extended family weekly on Showtime at 10 PM.
There’s something about the way Mary-Louise Parker saunters as she effectively multi-tasks – Running her underground business while trying to meet the needs of her brood, inevitably falling from grace episode after [...]

D-List Actor Gary Busey = Entrepreneur?

That’s right folks. Actor Gary Busey, whose last decent film happened sometime way back in the early 80s, and whose most recent credits include drunken rampages on the set of Inside Edition, has his very own series of video shorts (courtesy of GotVMail , a company which provides virtual phone service, and must subscribe to [...]

Pluggin’ A New Site That Brings Adults & Kids Together

Think Goofus and Gallant are enough to teach today’s kids the stuff that they need to make it in the real world? You’re wrong. These days it’s all about differentiation and having the proper toolkit in place to build your brain from the ground up.

I think Fast Company is a prime example [...]

Working from home isn’t always as ideal as people would like to think. At the end of the day, you have a job to do just like your friends who work in an office, only you have the added obstacle of every possible distraction to keep you from getting anything done.
It’s self-defeating really. You try [...]

Productivity is Over-Rated

My husband and I spent the afternoon of July 4th at the mall. It’s a funny thought because neither my husband and I are much of mall people. And to boot, how patriotic is it to spend Independence Day inside of a mall, even if most would argue that America is a progressive mall culture? [...]

I Kissed A Girl & I Liked It

Women in the workplace has been a hot topic for me this week. Researching innovative and outspoken female thinkers and “geeks” from around the internet, I came across Annalee Newitz, blogger for Techsploitation (slightly defunct for the time being) and author of many brilliantly opinionated and enlightening pieces on the intersection of technology, politics [...]
