Posted On Jul 12 2019 by

One billion viewers watched the World Cup.  One billion.  Can we still discount woman? Turns out we can. The article, So the President F*cking Hates My Girlfriend by Sue Bird, inspires me and warms my heart. After saying she would never write again… She starts her article with – I remember telling my editor here something like, “It would take the President of the United States going on a hate-filled Twitter spree trolling my girlfriend while she was putting American soccer, women’s sports, equal pay, gay pride and TRUE LOVE on her back, all at once, scoring two majestic goals …

Timothy Ferriss – YES

Posted On Jul 3 2013 by

I first encountered Timothy Ferriss when I read his excellent book – The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich.  I recommend this book highly if for no other reason than it will give you permission to re-invent your own work rhythms.  Ferriss offers strategies and permission that will free you from your email and phone tyranny.  But today, I want you to explore The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman.  The Four Hour Body I was skeptical about what Ferriss could possibly know about the body, but it …

When it’s done, he’s an expert. All of it comes …


Think of It As a Part Time Job

She read it.  Wow.  I recommend Younger Next Year for Women: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy – Until You’re 80 and Beyond to a beloved client.  She read it and then as sometime happens she showed me something I didn’t get out of my three readings of the book.  To be fit and healthy and to gain the benefits of the book, you have to treat your body like the animal it is, and exercise hard.  Every day.  Think of your fitness self-care as a part time job.  That works for her and works for me.   It antidotes the poison …
