As a daily practice, I take 15 minutes and just wader around my office, a store, my house, or pretty much anywhere else. My job in those 15 minutes is to look for new inventions to create, or how to modify already existing items to become even better. As an Entrepreneur, this exercise helps keep …
I’m currently attending the Seth Godin Podcasting Fellowship. It’s a group of a bunch of people all working to improve and refine their podcasting and speaking skills.
