BFFs and Smartphones: A Comparison

May 16, 2016 by Eli Shostak

Like our most beloved BFF (Best Friend Forever), smartphones are welcome everywhere from the bedroom to the office. In fact, in a survey of 274 participants, “sixty-three percent of entrepreneurs reported that it would be tougher to go for a day without their smart devices than a week without their significant other". While BFFs and significant others are slightly different kettles of fish, the sentiment is similar; some people need their smartphones more than they need each other. As much as … [Read more...]

Show Me Your Best Foot

June 13, 2014 by Eli Shostak

  Complete this sentence: The last time I was at my best, was when I _____________. Now, imagine that this was how we introduced ourselves. We know that being a good storyteller is a way to engage listeners and take them on a journey that involves more than just their sense of hearing. However, with everyone being so busy, we strip our interactions to the barest essentials [YOLO :-0]. The result is that we cruise around on autopilot and rarely get to know much about each other. We know how this … [Read more...]

Rear View Mirrors: Essential to Forward Progress

May 19, 2014 by Eli Shostak

  We all know someone who must own a wheel boutique because she/he spends so much time reinventing different models. Whenever another wheel comes off the line we end up smacking our heads and asking ourselves, "Really? Again? Didn't you already figure that out?" And often times, for whatever reason, this person has not. What's the necessary ingredient to turn yesterday's slip ups into today's dance steps? We have two answers: Reflection: First of all, experience becomes educational … [Read more...]

Big Ideas, Small Steps

May 12, 2014 by Eli Shostak

Creative ideas are always available to us, we just rarely have the time to pursue them. With distractions on the rise and demands on our time increasing, most of us rely on an auto pilot to help us get through the day. However, auto pilots blindly follow lists of instructions and perform conditioned reactions; hardly the hallmarks of creativity. Instead of just cruising the boulevard of routines, try this: Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness increases our ability to see things as they are and, … [Read more...]

October 15, 2013 by Eli Shostak

After assessing how much time I have and inspiration I need, my morning routine involves sourcing some giddy-up in a variety of ways. Running, meditation or yoga mixed with a perusal of my favorite writers ideally, though let’s face it, 12-24 ounces of coffee (you know what I mean), loud music and a somewhat reckless bike ride to work (honestly, cattle drives constitute traffic where I live) are more common.
