I was asked recently, “What was your best day ever in your job?” I gave an answer without hesitation. It was the day I hosted a live TV show at Cisco with 4 panelists, taking questions from an online audience along with a teleprompter and a director talking in my ear. I had conducted plenty…
(EDITOR’S NOTE: I’m not really comfortable with the label, but Jeff asked me to publish this as is.) At least once a week we see a news story featuring someone who has pulled a stranger from a wrecked car or helped a neighbor escape his smoldering house. In other stories we see first responders saving…
“1 – 2 – 3 – 4 breathe. And 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 breathe. My shoulders can’t take this! Remember to kick or my legs will sink. Chin down, don’t look up. Rotate to breathe. Why is my foot cramping and how will I rub it in the middle of a lake?”…
Knocked down, dragged out and left by the curb And they say “Take it like a man!” You’re mocked in commercials as an idiot But that’s OK, you’re a man. If you complain you’re a whiner, so just shut up You’re privileged because you’re a man. Your heart gets broken but don’t dare cry No…
You’re enjoying the social and sensory splendor of the holiday season. Your family and friends have experienced triumph and tragedy, and you’re wondering how you can help. You’ve lived through some high highs and low lows, and survived. You’re trying your best to do the right thing and not always succeeding. You treasure the people who have come into your life…
Make a decision. Make it public. Make it happen. This formula has worked well for me the last 6 years. I completed all but one goal for 2013, which was “write my second book.” No excuses… I just didn’t get it done. I did, however, take on 5 stand-up comedy performances and several motivational speeches…
I grew up reading Iron Man comic books. I always admired his invincibility, and his self-made suit of armor not only made him strong on the outside, it literally kept his heart beating on the inside. As a boy, I fantasized about having an iron exoskeleton like that to protect me and my heart from harm. Here…
I was running with my brothers through Brooklyn in the middle of the street. You can get away with this when you’re in a marathon. I like to make new friends during races, and NY did not disappoint. We came up behind this grey-haired guy, surely in his early 70’s, wearing slightly-too-short running shorts and…
There are chunks of gold, silver and bronze, precious metals, for the winners – those who demonstrate amazing speed by running 26.2 miles in 2 hours. Then there are the precious medals which go to those who slog it out side by side in 6 hours. Both types of athletes deserve some applause, but there is…
I admit it… I like the cape. I’ve been wearing it to draw attention to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. A red cape implies super strength, and that’s what my brother Jeff demonstrates as he continues to beat down cancer in his life. I skated up a mountain in this cape last Sunday to fulfill…
