As we all spend more time in front of our computers, it is probably a good idea to review a few resources on how to best host and participate in a video conference. I prefer Zoom, and CNBC put together a nice tutorial on the various ways to use it effectively. Entrepreneur Magazine also had a great piece on how to look good in video meetings. And BTW – As you might have expected…in the midst of a stock market meltdown, the stock price for Zoom Video Communications is up almost 50%. There are always winners. Happy Video Conferencing!
This episode was sparked by the wave of political statements made by artists and celebrities this year—and the strong reactions that followed. I explore whether celebrities should feel obligated to speak out, whether their voices actually make a difference, and how history helps us think more clearly about this debate. From civil rights to anti-war movements to today’s cultural flashpoints, this is a conversation about influence, responsibility, and the power of public pressure—not perfection. My goal isn’t to tell you what to think, but to invite a more nuanced discussion about when speech matters and how change actually happens.
Right now it feels like negativity is everywhere — in politics, media, and even within our own community. In this episode, I share why this moment calls for emotional discipline, unity, and strategic thinking. Staying positive doesn’t mean ignoring reality. It means choosing collaboration over division, focusing on wealth-building and long-term strength, and showing up for each other when it matters most. My hope is that this conversation helps you reflect on how we move forward together during challenging times.
In this episode, I share my perspective on the tragic killing of Renée Nicole Good and why moments like this demand clarity, restraint, and leadership rather than instant conclusions. We’re living in a time when emotion travels faster than facts, and division often fills the space where understanding should live. My goal here isn’t to inflame, but to add context, acknowledge pain, and encourage thoughtful reflection while the facts are still coming into focus. I hope you’ll watch with an open mind and consider what responsible leadership looks like in moments that test all of us.
