As my business continues to expand, I made this video last week, to share a crucial life lesson I learned years ago from a friend of mine who happened to be a call girl. As you’ll watch in the video, it’s not pejorative regarding sex workers– in 2016 America, life’s hard, you have to take your…

True, he never got me a pony.(Alas!) However, when I consider the countless other things he did, and does, as a father, whether it was introducing me to Anton Chekhov when I was 13–I spent the entire weekend reading his book of plays, not really understanding what I was reading, but knowing, in my gut,…

I was already on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ for my business, and I wasn’t particularly interested in taking on any further responsibility.
