Chinese Restaurants (MM #1751)

I’ve loved Chinese food for as long as I can remember. But after living in Nashville for nearly a decade I still can’t find any great Chinese restaurants. Many say that Nashville has become a food town, but in my opinion not when it comes to Chinese food…

40 Degrees (MM #1750)

I’m going to tell you up front that today’s podcast may sound crazy to you, but work with me here. I think that 40 degrees is the worst temperature. See, I told you that this sounds crazy. But think about this…

Lucky And Smart (MM #1749)

I’ve never considered myself a lucky person, but at least I’m smart. But it’s a rare combination to be both lucky and smart. I’ve known a few people like that, but not many. It’s a rare combination. I just wonder if you can learn to be lucky…

Wrapping Things Up (MM #1743)

The end of the year is almost here, and we should be wrapping things up. That’s what all of us try to do. I keep waiting for the slow time around the holidays, but it never seems to happen for me. I guess that means a few projects I hoped to get done by the…

Tired Of Politics (MM #1742)

If you’re like me, you’re already tired of politics and all the rhetoric being spewed by both sides. The process of getting elected starts earlier and earlier every year. And the added use of social media by politicians seems to make the election cycle sooooo much longer than in years past…
