1. Great event I attended last weekend… This year’s NCAA Wrestling National Championships were held in Cleveland. I love watching college wrestling… and it doesn’t get any better than this. We were there and got to see some incredible matches. These guys are so good… so tough… and are absolute WARRIORS. If you are not…
What does it take for you to be happy? No, really… ask yourself that question seriously. Think about it. For some, it needs to be a sunny day. For others, they might have to have the day off from work. And others might need to be in the company of a particular person, or with…
1. Super scary stats I read this week… Mental health issues are becoming the biggest concern in healthcare.

1. Video clip I saw this week that is upsetting… I saw this clip of a cardiologist explaining one of the ways the American people are getting ripped off through the healthcare system.

1. Helpful video I watched this week… Our attention is being pulled in a million different directions. And our cell phones make it that much easier to constantly be distracted.
