At the beginning of 2020, I doubt any of us imagined our routines would become completely uprooted in a matter of days. Due to the global pandemic, “office life” is now seen as a fond memory, and our daily commute is a total of one minute ? or as long as it takes to walk from your bed to your desk. I was so excited to be able to work from home ? to only have to look professional from my waist-up, to not have to worry about prepping lunches for work, to get those extra minutes of sleep I’d usuall
Alright, no B.S. here – I’m going to get straight the point and tell you that you CAN NOT make a full time living while working from your couch, filling out surveys in your underwear that pay you $30-$50 for 15 minutes of work! Believe me – I’ve TRIED to find them, but most of […].

Nearly ten years ago I made a new friend. It started out with an error. I wrote a blog post about the link between childlessness and planned giving. But I screwed up my math. Dr. James reached out to ‘help’ me catch the error and we struck up a dialogue via my blog. At that time I was just beginning to pivot my business. We were a marketing agency helping private sector CEOs generate, qualify and prioritize leads for relational sales.
Most stores, restaurants, factories, salons, and bars in America will begin to open (likely) in the next 30-45 days. The world will be different. 30-40M people may still be out of work. Most people will be leery of sitting or standing as close as they once did. The way we touch merchandise, and each other, will change.
