How Your Character’s Menu Informs Your Performance Choices
Hey there!
In a recent video, I talked about the concept of every single human being making decisions on actions based on their individual personal menu, and how they always, without fail, go with the number one choice they have.

Why You Should Take The Same Classes Twice
Hey there!
Taking classes once is an effort for some people. (You wouldn’t believe the percentage of people who sign up for my courses, pay good money, and then never take a class.)

The Most Commonly Consumed Media Is…!
Hey there!
The charting site Statista recently asked nearly 2100 people of all ages this question: “Which of the following media services have you used in the past 12 months?”
Well, the numbers are out, and the most commonly used media in the world is no longer broadcast TV.
The times, they are a-changing.
But what’s even more interesting are the new entries at the bottom of the list. Entries that you and I have a hand in making popular.
