    Never have we ever had so many generations in the workforce blending together.

  • Roasting Rude Travelers

    Like or didn’t like what you heard? Share your sip with me!

    So many people forget the art of leading themselves when they're on vacation. Some of the saddest examples of this is when people traveling to different countries disrespect other cultures, laws, and heritage sites. The worst offenders believe they're entitled to do whatever they want just because they paid money to board a plane, train, or ship to a far off destination. 

    Warning: This episode has rants for the worst, but ends with raves for the best ways to be a good global leader when we travel, so we can all be welcomed back

  • How to Slow Drip Time

    Like or didn’t like what you heard? Share your sip with me!

    Time isn't really on our side, despite what the song famously says. It's the only thing we can't create more of and that marches on "Time After Time" whether we want it to or not. Are we using our time or allowing our time to use us? Join me for a few sips of how to "Turn Back Time" if only in our mindsets and habits. A coffee shop isn't a coffee shop without a great playlist, neither is life without the right tunes when "Time Flies."
