Transcend (and include) The Financial Crisis

Well, it took me a while.  I came off my game for almost two weeks.
But on a drive home from an inspiring meeting with Kevin (Johansen, my Business Catapult business partner and long time co-consipirator), I fully and completely transcended (and included, as the integral school teaches) the financial crisis.  That is to say, the […]

You need to watch a video that captures, in just over five minutes, a strong analogy of the American mindset.

Irrational Economics

I’ve had a 20-year love-hate relationship with McKinsey.  When I was in my late teens, before I knew much about business, I thought I really wanted to do this kind of high-level consulting.  Then I developed a heavy aversion to strategic corporate thinking, especially corporate consultants.  But there are still really smart people there, and […]
