Speaking of reading….I’m a busy person, and while I love to read books, I don’t always have the time. On a recommendation, I purchased an app called Blinklist, and it’s the best app I’ve stumbled on this year. In a nutshell, Blinklist is CliffsNotes in an app. You can read or listen to a 15-minute abbreviated version of thousands of non-fiction books. For me, the short or “Blinklist” version of most books is all I need, however in some cases if the book is really good, I will purchase the full version. All books are available in print or audio. If you read a lot of non-fiction books, but are short on time like I am, Blinklist is a perfect addition to your app collection.
Some call it selfish; I call it the American way. In this episode, I break down why voting for policies that improve your life isn’t just your right—it’s how the system was designed to work. When we vote our own interests, we build a country that works for everyone.
Michael Jordan wasn’t picked first in the NBA draft—he wasn’t even picked second. Why? The Portland Trail Blazers hired for position, not for talent, and passed on the greatest basketball player of all time. In this episode, I explain why employers make the same mistake, and why the smartest leaders hire the best people they can find—regardless of position.
Politicians on both sides have overreached—ICE raids and the war on DEI have gone too far, and history tells us there will be a rebound. In this episode, I explain why attacks on Latinos may end up uniting us more than ever before, and why the backlash could be a turning point for our community.
