KMA March 30, 2020 – money, mindset, and music in the time of COVID-19
It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… Last week I had a couple minor meltdowns where I was pretty much useless for entire days at a time. That’s bad news because my income depends on me being able to show up and do the work, whether I feel like it or not. I imagine you might…

I’ve always been good at what I call “zoom in, zoom out”. What I mean by that is… I can see both the 50,000-ft view and the detailed, up-close view, and zoom in and out to see how the pieces connect. And as a result of that ability, early in my career I became the…

It’s time to kick Monday’s ass… Day 3429856 (I mean 10) of self quarantine and the natives are getting restless.

Read MoreI painted a thing…
I’ve always wanted to learn how to paint. I’d see these amazing works of art… online, in museums, even in restaurants and friends’ homes… and I’d just wonder. How ON EARTH do they do that? I tried to recreate that art on my own but I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong, and…
