The other day, I discussed Amazon’s return-to-work mandate, which will take effect in January. Their decision could help other CEOs do the same. A new study says that nearly 80% of major corporation CEO’s think that all companies will do away with the hybrid work model. Many claim that people working from home has hurt…

We all have weaknesses. One of mine is carbohydrates. They don’t like me, but I sure do like them. One of the perks of working at my office is that we usually get bagels for the whole office at our big Tuesday staff meeting each week. And while I try to limit my weekly intake,…

I often wonder if the world around me changes so much that I usually don’t notice or if I’ve changed. No matter the situation, there always seem to be last-minute changes. Is this new, or is this me? I don’t think I’m the only one who deals with this regularly. I think it’s now simply…

I was out late last night. I got home at 8 p.m. No, that’s not a typo. I’ve finally hit that point where a late night is getting home at a time when most young people are just heading out. Like many, I used to burn the candle at both ends. Back in my radio…
