Yesterday, I had the privilege of addressing an audience of hundreds of people to tell them about my startup DailyPath, and how we’re using the power of the Internet to help thousands of users learn and accomplish new things so they can build a better life. I’m very excited about DailyPath and the opportunity we [...]
This is kind of a weird post, but I’ve been really impressed by this guy recently, so I thought I’d share. I listen to a bunch of different podcasts, including a few from NPR. Ken Rudin is a political editor who appears on “It’s All Politics” and on a weekly political segment on “Talk of [...]
I was listening to NPR today and they talked to a writer from Newsweek (whose name I didn’t catch, unfortunately) about this year’s $1.5 trillion Federal budget deficit. Everyone says we should fix it, but we can’t come to any sort of agreement on how. Since the vast majority of the population receives some benefit [...]
I’m not a big fan of Sarah Palin, but this post is about her new reality show, not her politics.. It’s no great secret that Palin and politics are probably not done with each other. She’s relatively young, has a very dedicated following, and is probably the best hope the Republican party currently has for [...]
There’s a reason that most countries seem to become more liberal over time: the message sounds better. Democrats have a huge homefield advantage: who doesn’t want free healthcare and streets free of guns? Who wants to say that they’re not for helping the poor, minorities, and the environment? The liberal agenda has the built-in advantage [...]
I’m no economist, so bear with me here. I’d always assumed that because of the US government’s propensity to incur unfunded liabilities, tax rates in the future would have to go up (making Roth IRAs and Roth 401k’s a better bet) to keep the economy from collapsing. However, a story I saw today about Google’s [...]
My dad and I had an interesting conversation last night about how an individual can have a positive effect in a system where systemic corruption is present, without succumbing to the pressure to compromise. We got on this topic because we were talking about Congress, which seems from the outside to be an incredibly brutal [...]
I’m not always as up to date on the news as I should be, and something caught my eye today that has probably been in the national news for months, but had previously escaped my attention. The issue in question? The Ground Zero Mosque. At first I wasn’t sure what the controversy was, and I [...]
Over the last couple months, I’ve engaged in dozens of conversations about religion, politics, and other sensitive topics. The conversations have been online and offline and with people with whom I agree and disagree, in some cases vehemently. After some reflection, I wanted to point out a few things that I’ve learned can be helpful [...]
