5 Minute Mission

As health sciences continue to progress, it becomes increasingly clearer that we do not put sleep on the pedestal it deserves. While feeling tired and groggy all day may be why you hate not getting enough sleep, that only scratches the surface of all the associated negative side effects. Increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, […]

In between work/school, friends and family time, and all of the other activities which make up our days, it can be difficult to stay clear “upstairs.” It certainly doesn’t help that the most distracting and addictive device the modern world has ever seen, our cell phones, are always easily accessible. In a society predicated on scientific […]

Whether you are the CMO of your company, work for a marketing/advertising agency, self-employed, or a student, you’ve probably seen some examples of “great” marketing. Some immediate examples come to mind, like Nike’s “Find Your Greatness” in 2012, or Apple’s “Perspective”. While TV commercials are still the biggest mainstream way to market your product or service, social media is […]

When I was in school many moons ago (last year), there were few things I hated more than finding out that we had a “group project” to do in a particular class. Just didn’t like them. It’s not that I’m against working in groups, but I DESPISED group work in most of my college classes. While […]

Do you struggle with confidence in yourself? Many of us do, and that’s not inherently a terrible thing. The side effects, however, can be quite tarnishing. Have you ever been around someone who is constantly pessimistic, always blames others for their actions, or is always cutting people down through vitriolic speech? These are all signs of […]

Many of us marvel at the accomplishments of the modern day, mega-rich business tycoons who have amassed a fortune beyond comprehension. Many of them have 1 thing in common: They started a business while in college. However, while we could spend hours discussing the success stories of entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, there are […]

Wanting to get in shape? You’re not alone. ReportLinker, a French technology company, conducted a survey which showed that while ¾ of Americans consider it “very important” to look good and be in shape, less than 1/3 of those people exercise regularly. Obviously, as a culture, our work ethic/habits are not meeting our ambitions/goals/ideas. Truth be told, many […]

As a young entrepreneur, I learned very early on that there are some unique business challenges associated with my “youth.” While it would be a BLAST to go through and debunk many of the incorrect assumptions regarding professionalism and productivity of young businesspeople, we’ll save that for another time. Today, I want to focus on […]

We crave human affection.   As the 3rd tier in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, we are psychologically wired to desire a sense of love and belongingness through friends and intimate relationships. While we don’t need 100+ friends to be happy, it certainly doesn’t hurt to become “likable” to a wider range of people.   While […]

We have easier access to each other and the world’s information right now than ever before, and yet many of us still sometimes find ourselves “bored out of our mind.” Boredom is that weird feeling you get when you have the energy to complete a task but have no tasks. Well, at least that’s what […]
