Interviewing Tips & Techniques
Why You Need Good Foot Awareness
Last week, Katy and I were watching the Broncos game against The Jets. (The Broncos won!) In the middle of the game, we watched a wide receiver make a very difficult catch and drag his toes to make sure that he stayed inbounds. If he hadn’t dragged his toes, the catch...
Is Your Recruiting in the Toilet?
For the past few years, every time I went into my bathroom, I would think to myself, I need a new toilet seat. I never did anything about it, because who wants to buy a new toilet seat? I can think of SO many other things to spend my money and time on, so I just made...
So….How Are You?
I have a friend/colleague named Beth Boen, who is the owner of SHE Leads Group, a business networking group for women business owners. A few weeks ago, Beth called me out of the blue. She does this approximately once a year. She picks up the phone, dials my number and...
Mr. Right v. Mr. Right Now
I will never forget the first 70-degree day that I had at my former restaurant, La Iguana. I had owned the place for just a few months, and I had the largest patio in town. When the weather turned just right on a random February day, I drove to work just in time to...

Searching for “The One”

Surgeon #8
As you all know, my daughter Katy had a hip replacement 3 weeks ago. (Her recovery is going great!) The story I want to tell you is about how she found her surgeon. We discovered in October of last year that this surgery would most likely be required by Katy’s primary...
How You Hire a Fritzy
My daughter, Katy, and I used to foster dogs, and one dog was a part cattle dog named Fritzy. She LOVED to tree squirrels! She would make a beeline to any squirrel within a 3-mile radius. It was HORRIBLE to take her on walks because all she wanted to do was tree...
How You Recover from Crappy Circumstances
Today when this email hits your inbox, my 19-year old daughter, Katy, will be in surgery getting her hip replaced. Because of an infection 12 years ago, she has developed arthritis and has very little cartilage left to cushion the joint. This new titanium hip will...
