Further
Health - Wealth - Wisdom
If you’ve been following Further for a while, or my podcast Unemployable, you know I think “should” is a dirty word. For some reason, the things you should do never seem to be the things you want to do. I’m not talking about having a brownie instead of working out, or parking your kids in …
Hey there, and welcome to this week’s Further. We kicked off the beginning of last year touching on design thinking as applied to all aspects of your life. I read Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life over the holidays, so the beginning of 2017 seems like a perfect time to look …

Welcome to the first Further of 2017 — thanks for being here! To kick off the new year, let me tell you about the new category I’m adding to Further.

You’re not exactly in the frame of mind to become your best self. That quote has been attributed to many …
Just when I thought my life was back to normal … I’m spending this week serving on a jury in a criminal case. Attorneys generally don’t like for other attorneys (even former ones) to be on their jury, but in this case, neither side booted me. So, it’s been an interesting turn of unplanned events. …
