Last week was quite a week for me. I spent more time studying and thinking about the years ahead than writing. Marketing, business and finance were the topics of the week as they so often are these days. Although I’ve been away, you’ll be happy to know that I’m back with even more to share […]

It’s funny. Having traveled all over the world and having spent years in an International School, there is one truth about people and I believe Depeche Mode sang it best when they said, “People are people.” It’s not the color of our skin, where we were raised or what schools we attended – we each

It’s official – I’m sick. And rather than push myself, I called it a night early yesterday. It’s been a tough few days over in the Shepherd household. First off, my wife gets sick but, being the warrior she is, she went to work. Then my son caught what mommy had and he was out
