Business Insider recently toured the new offices of Flatiron Health, a New York-based cancer technology company. The tour of the new 108,000 square-foot office space at One Soho Square featured a wide-open communal space made to fit company-wide meetings (the company currently employs 500, but the space can hold up to 700), a swanky Hydration Station, places for one-on-one […]
“On the 17th hole, which is all uphill, Brennan told me he was tired and may not be able to make it. And it was hot to say the least,” Brennan’s father Turner recalls. “I reminded him that he has faced a lot more challenging circumstances than walking two holes in the heat […]
Ever since the new version of Possibilites was published in November of 2016. I continue to be surprised by the occasional unexpected review, as well as sales performance data. With regard to the latter, I have to admit being gleefully surprised when I got my final report (and check) regarding recent retail sales at Walmart. […]
WHEN I THINK ABOUT ALL THE TIME I HAVE SPENT WRITING A BOOK, BY-MYSELF, FIGUREING OUT WAYS TO GET PEOPLE TO READ IT, THINKING ABOUT HOW, “IF JUST ONE INFLUENTIAL PERSON LIKE LARRY KING, OR PEYTON MANNING, OR PAUL YOUNG WERE TO TELL THEIR PEOPLE THAT POSSIBILITIES IS ACTUALLY GOOD AND THAT IT […]

I consider myself […]
Hampton Sides does it again. In my mind, the best journalistic style story teller in my lifetime, Hampton gives us yet another beautiful example of how his intensive research can tell an important story in a compelling and elegant way; and what a more elegant and compelling platform that Smithsonian Magazine. I hope you take a few minutes to read this article about […]
“WHEN DO YOU GIVE UP ON TREATING A CHILD WITH CANCER?” This powerful new Article in the New York Times underpins the intent behind my book, “Possibilities,” as I continue to learn of others who still fight the good fight; despite the odds, despite the implied restraints from others who tell you that, “enough is […]
During my many “book talks,” someone eventually asks the question, “so how is everyone doing now?” As much as a simple one-liner reply of, “awesome,” my initial response is usually more of a pause. Approaching the 40 mark, when it comes to how many “talks” I have done, you would think that I would be at a point where I had a canned response locked-and-loaded. To […]
Have to admit “opening” my email from the Kirkus review with hesitation, as I knew that I was getting the full-blown, unbiased treatment from someone who had no previous opinions about me, or our story from the blog writing days. It seems I can always count on kind words from friends and family. But […]
