The Problem with “Toughen Up!” | #MyFridayStory №288

Vulnerability is sometimes seen as being weak, timid and a push-over. In a world where status and power are pursued in place of character and values, winning is everything. In that world, the competition is fierce with few “winners” and many wannabes. Here lives are built on facades and posturing…

Why Should Anyone Care? | #MyFridayStory №292

Bad Parenting | #MyFridayStory №287

How is it that we don’t get training or need some qualification to be a parent? I wanted to be the best father on this planet. I remember rushing out to the bookstore the next day after hearing I’m going to be someone’s father. As excited as I was about…

Laughter. Life’s Best Medicine | #MyFridayStory №286

Humour gets a bad rap. Walk around with a smile on your face, and everyone thinks you’re up to no good. Wear a frown and everyone thinks you’re being thoughtful and contemplative. I grew up in a house filled with laughter. My Dad was a mischievous prankster that loved to…

I recently had the pleasure of addressing a group of young hospitality students. I wasn’t sure of my topic when a good friend suggested I talk about something close to my heart. My older Brother was influential in who I became. He devoted his life to making mine better. …

What Happened from the Time Between Being Created and One-Second Before Eve Picked the Apple? | #MyFridayStory №283

(Spoiler Alert: I typed the question of today’s #MyFridayStory into Open AI’s Chat GPT with instructions to write this story. I’ve made some minor adjustments and added some bits of my own. I’m fascinated by where AI and the future of innovations like Chat GPT4 and others will take us…
