1. Video I made this week… I write a blog each week (and have done so for almost 20 years!). I get a lot of feedback on those, so I know people are reading them. I also know some people prefer video content over written content. I’ve toyed with the idea of putting the blog…
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. It is becoming clearer and clearer how broken and profit-driven our healthcare system really is. I did not fact check what he…
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. Being more present is a worthy goal these days. Author Daniel Pink shares five steps that will improve your attention span. I’ve read a few…
1. Another impressive Olympic experience… Some Olympic events impress me more than others. The aerial freestyle skiers and mogul skiers are among the most impressive to me. You really can’t appreciate the magnitude of danger these men and women subject themselves to until you stand at the top of the in-run the skier takes to…
1. Great post I saw this week… I love the Olympics. I think it’s VERY cool to see the best of the best competing, breaking records, and achieving lifelong dreams. Obviously, they all can’t be winners, so there is something about seeing some come up short, make mistakes, or experience the agony of defeat. The…
1. Phenomenal resource I recommend… I’ve been following author and entrepreneur Brian Johnson for almost two decades. He created Philosopher’s Notes, where he has taken more than 700 of the top self-improvement books and created quick summaries. He does a phenomenal job… and gives you the options to read the summary, listen to an audio…
1. Incredible feat we watched this week… Netflix aired its live coverage of Skyscraper Live, which documented the climbing of the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan, a 1,667-foot building, by free solo climber Alex Honnold. A few things that made this event extraordinary… Honnold did not use any ropes or safety harnesses, no one has…
1. Cartoon I saw this week… I saw a cartoon this week that caught my attention. Like a lot of good cartoons, at first, they make you chuckle… then, they make you think. This cartoon is simple, well done, and unfortunately, pretty spot on. I know most people feel that the medical system is too…
1. Great sign we saw this week… When we have bloodwork done, it is usually through Quest Labs. They have locations everywhere, but we use the labs in Twinsburg (on Edison Blvd.) or in Aurora (at UH in front of Heinen’s). When it comes to any healthcare encounter, the healthcare provider plays a huge role…
1. New fun gadget we’ve been using… For Christmas, the kids got us the Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker. It has been awesome. It can make ice cream, milkshakes, sorbet, and more. The one they got us (called the CREAMi Swirl) has a soft serve option. Lana has made several types of ice cream so…
