I became my own boss and fired myself

Why I quit my two longest relationships — The notion one must be self employed to be their own boss is utter untruth. From a literal perspective, sure. But not from a figurative stance.

Women, stop caring what men think

We’re gonna die alone anyway — It’s hard to believe once upon a time, dating was easy. Before algorithms and screens men and women met and conversed in public. An exchange in information most likely led to a relationship. At least that’s how it was in my circle of friends and family. Even as teenagers, hitting…

Social Media is the New Pain Killer

And almost everyone is taking it — Social media can be a gift and a curse. Promoting a brand or business, great. Finding a sense of support, great.

There’s a million ways a man gets finessed

Here’s one — Men on podcasts encouraging women to shoot their shot may be setting their fellow brethren up for failure. Why? Because I’ve seen instances where women have done just that and have left the men in ruin. Here’s an example A former male associate of mine began dating a co worker at her initiation…
