On this past Wednesday, I finished my last video for my Udemy course teaching Salesforce Administration. Before starting this project I had no knowledge or experience with Salesforce, so I needed to spend some time learning it so that I could teach it to others. I chose to do this project because I am […]

  We can learn a lot from the study of Greek mythology and classical works. One good example of this is Ariadne’s thread, a logical algorithm derived from the tale of Ariadne. Ariadne’s thread is the solving of a problem with many possible answers through a rigorous application of logic to each possible option. However, […]

  I much prefer deep conversation over small talk. Often I will spend hours talking to friends, family, even strangers. There is a lot to learn from different perspectives and experiences, especially those that don’t agree with me. I have studied a lot of literature, and many of my friends are into philosophy, so when […]

  Whenever someone asks me what my favorite book, movie, song, etc. is I am always hesitant to answer. My favorite things change all the time, if I say what my favorite is right now, that might not be a great answer, because it could change tomorrow. So, I decided a while ago to choose […]

  Ray Bradbury had the conviction to write at least 1000 words every day since the age of 12 years old. In the midst of a 30-day writing challenge, I thought it might be appropriate to think deeper about some of his advice on the topic. In “Zen in the Art of Writing” Bradbury collects […]

  For as long as I can remember, I have been afraid of heights. I used to freak out on balconies and freeze up at the top of tall buildings. Over the course of many summers as a kid, I learned how to conquer that fear with the help of a dear friend and mentor. […]

  I love to cook. More than that, I love the high pressure, fast-paced, and perfectionist world of high-end restaurants. In order to bring order into an otherwise chaotic world, chefs often employ a mindset known as “Mise en Place”. This French phrase means “set in place“ and refers to how a chef continuously organizes […]
