I am often asked for specific business advice and consulting.  Things like “can we hire you to assess our business” which I don’t do because I simply don’t have the time to do that type of consulting.  I am far more often though asked about business ideas.  Like what do you think of this product or this service as a business.  I almost always say, “sorry but I don’t do this type of thing”. The reason is simple, what I think about your idea is meaningless to your success with it. The truth is I really believe that the most … Continue reading →

Join me at 13:00 CST as we continue our multi part series on redefining education.  I thought about calling this series “redefining childhood education” and while we will come at it a lot from what we should teach our kids, I am betting most adults may have to learn over half of the things we will talk about in this series as well. The truth is education is failing out children in so many ways.  Kids are subjected to learning thousands of functionally useless facts, regurgitating them on tests and then 90% or more is fully forgotten in time.  And … Continue reading →

Chemistry and Biology are both wonderful sciences that have done many great things for mankind.  Though like anything that is essentially a tool, some tools are right for somethings but not for others.  When it come to taking care of soils, growing food, grazing animals, cycling nutrients and restoring ecosystems, biology is the right active tool. I say active tool because it isn’t that chemistry isn’t useful at all in these scenarios, rather it is how it can be useful.  Biology is full of chemical prodcesses.  Hence chemistry can be extremely useful in understanding organic systems.  However when we use … Continue reading →
