September 11, 2017

This is a semi serious open letter to Jeff Bezos. I am going to outline what I think the future will look like, and how it can be a better safer place for my daughter who just turned two this year. This weekend I was working on homework for my Logistics Certification course and we… Read More ›

Department outsourced. Ten Steps to Handle new challenges.

Handling bad news and looking for work in the post Trump job market.

CPIM, Star Wars and Princess Leia

I haven’t made a public post on this blog for over a year. Busy studying, taking care of my newborn daughter and setting up a Mastermind Supply Chain Group.

Dog Donates $500 to charity. Kids Help Phone.

In the age of Search Engine Optimization, users are bombarded by links with misleading titles.

The Success Principles: Sleepless
