Paradox

I have started to walk a lot more lately. I feel like I have more energy and enthusiasm. It has been a while since I felt weak or tired. If anything, my family wonders if I am over caffeinated. But I don't do coffee.

Gap In the Market

I have started to work on retirement and health insurance related paperwork for my parents. I usually need a strong cup of coffee and determination to get to the information I need.

Body language

Lately, I have started to notice anxiety in people I talk to. I am not sure if I wasn't aware of it in the past or if people's level of anxiety is higher than usual. I also wasn't keeping in touch with a lot of people due to my own...

One of the products I am thinking of launching is around health.

Due to the vast experience I have accumulated with restrictive diets, I feel like I have a few tricks that could be useful to people who are in similar situations. 

I am thinking of creating a recipe book with...

Who Not How

I started reading a new book yesterday. Title - Who not How.

I don't remember but it looks like I had started the book already. The main thesis of the book is that you can go further with people than on your own. The book starts with an example of how...
