Why Chris Brogan is Classy

Like many of you - I received an email from Chris Brogan today. Chris was writing to all his friends and business acquaintances to let them know that he was taking on a new job at CrossTechMedia. In truth it was a form email - but it didn’t feel like one - and here’s why. At the end of the first paragraph Chris said:

“I am sending this to multiple people, so forgive me if this seems impersonal. Feel free to email me back to check in, if we haven’t spoken lately.”

Then he ends the email by saying:

“Please drop a line if you’ve any other questions, or if you want to bring me up to speed on what you’re doing. I’ll close with my contact info.”

On two separate occasions - Chris invites me into his life - and offers to do something that few business people ever do - Listen. Very Classy Chris - and thanks for the email!

The Tao of Fatness

Fatness is not good for our health. Fatness isn’t good for our self-confidence. Fatness is not good for our overall well-being. So why is it so widespread? I think that for a lot of people - myself included - Eating and Gaining weight are a form of protection. Thus we have this kind of Tao of Fatness - where it becomes part of our nature to continuously eat, gain weight, and protect ourselves. I’m working on a solution to all of this - and that’s really why I started this whole 90-day journey to begin with.

And So It Is

There’s a song by Damian Rice called The Blower’s Daughter - and the lyrics go something like this:

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

And so for now - this is just how it is.
