The Backside of a Mountain

We were born to mountain climb. I’m not talking about the kind that requires gripped boots and ropes. Metaphorically, we are built to push our limits and accomplish huge things. We have the ability to take one step at a time and do incredible things physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s in our nature. Don’t believe …

MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE: Why You’re Struggling to Find Talent

Let me take you back to last weekend when I spent an entire road trip listening to my 5 and 2 year old repeatedly serenade me with the chorus of their new favorite song. That song was none other than Maren Morris and Zedd’s musical collaboration, Meet Me In The Middle. Not only is it …
