Exercising your inner ‘Rocky’

Here you go, another way to get to your wellness. Go for it, and start exercising your inner Rocky! “If someone says you can lose 20 pounds in the course of a year by punching a bag, then I’m signing up,” says Stephen Stoute, the 39-year-old chief executive of Carol’s Daughter beauty and skin-care line. “There’s [...]

The Nike Experiment

I love hearing various stories about what works for people’s “wellness” initiative, or what they do to get–and stay–motivated to improve themselves physically. And I’d love to hear or read some other comments from readers, so post your comments away!   Fundamentally, I do think Nike has it right as, with many things in life, it [...]

Yet Another Way to Live Longer

When you do a Google search for images related to the word “purpose” I don’t understand why the results pull up esoteric whispy trees in the middle of green fields, or that of a person paddling a canoe in the reflective moonlight in the middle of a widespread ocean with nary a sign of life [...]

Goal Accomplishment

Going into the Univera Cruise a few weeks ago I was still working towards my physical goal for the year (and, technically, my target date is still end of June) but I’d moved into the mode of “well, I’ll try my best.” It was accompanied with a bit of a plan, like working out a [...]

Rachel, Did You Work Out?

  This afternoon I was talking with Rachel Wisby, who heads up our Creative Services team. We were discussing working out, getting in shape, losing weight, all that stuff. And she said to me, “how do you get over ‘Mpmphfhhph’?” “You know”, she continued in her British accent, “Mpmphfhfhph! That thing, it’s like, that moment when you’re sitting [...]

And to Paul Potts, too

So with all the fanfare with Susan Boyle and her amazing performance on “Britain’s Got Talent”, and my many many views of her performance in the last few days (to the point that my wife is teasing me), I’ve become captured with a few other great stories ofnormal people doing exceptional things that have been [...]

Dogged Pursuit

  Can we agree on a few simple premises?  1. There’s a huge need for secondary or replacement primary income right now? More than ever in the past three decades, perhaps longer? Everybody is faced with the prospect of layoffs, 401k matches missing, salary reductions, and on. Not to say that everyone is going through it–but everybody [...]

Austenver

This entry started as what would be a combination of two events, Austin and Denver. Thus the name, Austenver. Then, I started looking at all the great pictures and people from Austin, and I just couldn’t bring myself to pull the two events together.  As I type we’re en route to Denver, placing bets of whether [...]

Chi-Town

Chi-town rocked tonight. It was a good sized group, about 150, but there were a lot of guests there. At least half. Probably more.  And, Stephen? On fire. On message. Nailed the products. Was dead on time, exactly 20 minutes. Hilarious. With not one diversion.  Yep, today we (re) introduced Stephen DVD. And while not quite as good [...]
