Being open and authentic in a world that is still afraid of being real. — For the past two years, I have been quiet. Emotionally constipated. Verbally shut off and shut out. Ever since I left my corporate job that was falsely “safe” and slightly “cushiony”, I have been living as a cashflow negative (I will never use the word broke because of the meaning…

“When somebody says something bad about you, it is not only just the lens that they are looking through, and it is not only the person what you’ve allowed them to see, but it is literally just .00001% of the actual population of what one person thinks about a distorted…

Delightfully examining the journey of the backbone, soul and spirit of “beatmaking”. — I haven’t written here in a while, and that’s mainly because I have been in such a reflective period during a very big and emotional transition of my life.

I usually tend to stay away from or talking about…

People and their comments. — This was a comment I saw on one of my videos on a talk I gave at the Rails conference in Kansas City, MO. I promised myself that I would never read comments but I read that one and instead of my normal rage and focusing on just how negative…

Those that leave you feeling worse when they’re around or even in your text messages. — You know who they are, the people that seem to take energy from you with their uncompromising requests.
