The Rise of Web 3.0
Have you ever been excited for a new movie to come out? Maybe it's the sequel to a beloved series? Maybe it's based on a great book you love and you can't wait to see it on screen? Either way you feel that adrenaline rush of energy when you see the trailer. So you...
The Danger of Authors Pretending To Be Publishers
Authors, welcome to the game. It's hard, and brutal. If you're not careful it will swallow you whole. I've learned this the hard way. Being a "self-published author" looked kind of glamorous, especially if you read stories about the likes of Amanda Hocking, JA...
How to Win An Election… Every time.
So, you've decided to run for office and you're wondering how to win an election. You assemble your team, you define a campaign strategy (for incumbents, stay the course; for challengers, we need change!), and then you need volunteers. Before you go any farther...

Your Story Is The Mojo
Every major company has a great story that you probably know, and you definitely know if you are a fan. Steve Jobs starting Apple computer in the garage, Bill Gates leaving Harvard to launch Microsoft with Paul Allen, Thomas Edison and General Electric, Colonel...
Failure is Great
As you try to live a more exciting and helpful Lifestory, you will inevitably make some decisions that simply don't work. Some of those decisions might have consequences that seem too big to overcome. They're not. Heroes are quite dumb. They have to be. In order to...
Is Truth Better Than Fiction?
I read a tweet saying there's not enough stories about people connecting, coming together, and fighting a common enemy. The context was community stories and wanting more stories about coming together as a group. That got me thinking, did the writer mean that there...
