Well it’s not much, but it’s something. In the days of $7 pillows, blankets and Budweiser’s pretty much anything the airlines do that is positive comes as a surprise. When everyone in your industry sucks, even a little gesture can make a difference. On October 16th, our flight was an hour delayed since our plane had not yet [...]

Last week in my “Da Vinci and the 40 Answers” class we stressed the importance of play. Being a stuffed shirt 24/7 helps no one, especially you. It is unhealthy. You need to give your self time to play. Why? Well for one reason it has been shown that historically that’s when the best ideas [...]
