Healthier Living

So as I’m progressing through my 20s I’ve realized that I’m no where near where I need to be in regards to my health. It’s always a shock as to how I’ve been able to get these last 4 to 5 years without realizing what I need to do sooner. I’m writing this post as a reminder to myself and to also have others help me stay accountable for my workouts....

Bird Photos

While visiting my parents over the weekend I decided to set the camera up outside and catch some birds eating on the feeders....

Sports and Education

Now, to start things off I’m a little upset and frustrated at this quote from Cam Newton after the Auburn Tigers beat the Oregon Ducks in the BCS Title game. So if this seems a little off topic, I want to apologize. “I don’t want nobody to feel sorry for me, because throughout this year didn’t nobody feel sorry for Auburn,” Newton said, setting a BCS record for double negatives in a single sentence....

Bringing a Team Together

I’m sitting on the bus on our way to Lawrence Central (and due to recent events the coaching staff needs to stagger their seating). I’m in the back of the bus with all the “close” swimmers you can really see the camaraderie between the team. At the same time you can also feel the sense of disconnect between swimmers of different backgrounds. Both of our team captains are sitting in the back minding themselves while the younger and less experienced swimmers sit quietly on their own....

Improving Your Team Through Cuts

I’m starting to find myself in some tough spots. Last week we had a few guys that were having a rough time even making it through pushing off of a wall without stopping immediately. This combined with the fact that we have a 6-lane pool with over 30 swimmers meant that we unfortunately had to make some cuts. Now for a business example. We (at @UniqueHomeSol) recently setup a marketing group to head up our online, TV and print campaigns....

Are You Happy?

Author: Randy Clark Recently, over lunch, Greg asked if I would guest post about separating work and Life. As I considered what I would like to share, I realized how many different approaches were available on this subject. Do I talk of social media and how difficult it is to separate work from social media 24/7? How about strategies to balance your life? How to make work fun or eliminate stress?...

Preparing for Work Life

While you are in school, no one really tells you how to prepare for work life. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I could make it in the real world. However, I’m currently working a full time job, paid off 2 student loans (2 to go), picked up my cell phone bill and bought a car! The best part is that I’m only 23 years old. No one can prepare you for the real world better than yourself!...

Finding your First Job

I know that when I started looking for jobs in college I looked for just about any place that was offering a job. The worst part about it was looking for something within my Degree (BSBA in Business Management). Obviously trying to find a “management” job was out of the question unless it would be lower-level. Target your Ideal Job The best advice that I can even begin to give to Juniors and Seniors looking for a permanent job is to target the type of job that you want not just what you pre-qualify yourself for....

Chasing Your Dream Job

This weekend I decided to head down to visit my girlfriend, who is attending IU Medical School, and while we know that living an hour apart is going to be tough we never realized how hard it was until today around 2:00. She and I have been together for the last five years and honestly we’ve both been rather selfish with doing what we want instead of really thinking about one another....
