I love reading.

Ever since I was a kid, my nose was buried in a book.

Enter, Kira Jean. Kira is leading Dreamwork Collective as a Dubai started publishing house for print and digital books.

A Pokemon card was just sold for $150,000 dollars. 

Comic books are increasing in value daily. 

We spend hours remembering the old cartoons from the 90's and the games we used to play. 

Why is that? 

Is it the power of nostalgia?

Have you ever been bullied?   

Ever been put down?   

Do you carry that chip on your shoulder or do you let it go?   

Throughout my life I have kept those grudges and utilized them to grow and advance in my life as well as in my career.   

It was only after I let them go did I learn that the journey itself is the motivation I need to keep going.   

If you think about it, which way is the right way?   

Join me while I discuss and journey down this thought process.  

Would love for you to  share your thoughts as well!

Ever been the underdog?  

Ever been under estimated?   

I have.   

I know how it feels.   

This episode I explore how it is to be an underdog and discuss Malcom Gladwell's book "David vs Goliath".   

The book addresses history's most famous under dogs and how they used that under estimation in their favor to overcome all odds.   

I also journey into role models and how important role models are in our lives.   

This podcast was straight from the heart, hope you enjoy it.

Book, Goals, Leaders. 

3 Topics that have been racking my brain all week. 

I used to talk about achieving goals, but never actually followed through. 

So I have dedicated my time to writing down my goals and planning them in detail which has helped me to actually follow through. 

Building a smoker, learning a new language, trying pottery; these are all activities I have always wanted to try. Now with tangible plans I will begin to tackle each of them. 

Reading has and is an ongoing goal for me. 

Lets Take This Online is one avenue of exploring knowledge growth and books play a major role in that and one of my goals is to finish 4 books a month and share what 

I learned with all of you. Lastly, but most importantly is the concept of a "good leader". 

I have been thinking of what makes a good leader a lot lately. I think it starts with getting to know and understand what motivates your team as we are all different. 

Understanding how each of us work can help create an atmosphere that drives performance instead of stifling it.

Hard work, long hours...

You want to get good at anything, you can't skip those 2.

Menon started rapping when he was 15 and kept at it, nonstop every day. He would work a full-time job, then spend the rest of his time at the studio; to the point that he started falling asleep at the wheel. So what did he do? He slept at the studio!

That kind of dedication has pushed Menon to be one of the known rappers within the Middle East and now the Philippines, as he decided to take his music there to get closer to his heritage.

It was amazing to hear his journey and the lessons he learned on the way.

You can find Menon here.

We have all had at least one job we did not enjoy in our lives. 

Have you ever asked yourself, why did I hate it so much? was it me? was it the company?   

I found that knowing how you work and communicating that to your management will help keep a positive work environment.   

We are all unique and we all work in our own unique ways.   

I also share some funny stories and situations I have dealt with at the work place.
