We can all agree that America has a big problem: obesity. No matter how simple we make the message of “diet and exercise” to the fat people in this country, even early death isn’t incentive enough to keep people from eating processed and fast foods.

Jeff Mills and Alex Williams are the dynamic duo at eROI. I just spent two days with Alex Williams and Jeff Mills at InnoTech Austin, doing deals and talking eMarketing. I can’t think of two people that I’d rather hang out with in Austin than Jeff Mills and Alex Williams, two of eMarketing’s top [...]

I’m currently at Innotech Austin to participate in the eMarketing Summit. I’ve also been connecting with a few of my EO co-horts. I’ve never been to Austin before, but have enjoyed meeting locals and taking in the culture. I’m moderating a Hot Seat event this afternoon, which is exciting, considering it will be [...]

I’m constantly reminded why Portland is the best city in the world to live. In just 1.5 hours, you can be at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood or head the other direction and visit the Oregon Coast. I recently took my family for a little weekend getaway to the Oregon Coast. We [...]

As an entrepreneur, I’m always looking for ways to grow professionally and personally.  Joining EO this year was the most productive decision I’ve made in my career to help achieve this goal.  This month’s Portland EO educational event was a field trip to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center to watch a live open heart surgery [...]

There are a few jobs I’ve always wanted to try, but never had the time.  Being a bartender is one of those dream jobs (seriously).  Rather than go through my good friends at Vocation Vacations to test out my dream bartender job (think Tom Cruise in Cocktail), I reached out to my other good friends [...]

I recently visited Clearwater Florida with my family, and was very impressed by the beauty and cleanliness of the relatively small coastal town. We stayed at the Hilton Clearwater Florida, enjoying the central location with beach access. While we were only visiting for a weekend, we were able to enjoy many of [...]
