Radical Candor
We've all been there. And I'm not talking about indulging in those potato chips in bed after you promised yourself this was the day you were going to try that new diet. I'm talking about the hard and tedious day you had that led you to become this junk monster. Hey, I get it. I … Continue reading Radical Candor
Five Fields of Expertise
Everybody's good at something. And I'm not just talking about being really good at long division or knowing exactly what the significance of the color green is in that one F. Scott Fitzgerald book. A lot of people have these small secret skills that don't often get recognized because in what world is knowing how … Continue reading Five Fields of Expertise
