Happy Holidays – Christmas 2014

Cinnamon scented pine cones roasting by an open fire. Cookie nipping at his presents. Yuletide carols being song by Spotify. And all of us escaping from Chicago to the somewhat warmer mountains of North Carolina.

This year was interesting in so many ways. A new company in a new industry that spun off from a parent, was funded by a strong consortium and is now set to close on a substantial acquisition. Good times with many new and long time friends. Getting back to the gym for a steady three months (and then stopping for the last month …) Being named to Crain’s Chicago Tech 50 list and meeting dozens of tech entrepreneurs. And of course spending quality time with my family and friends around the world.

Everybody knows a turkey, and some mistletoe, helps to make the season right, but it’s life connections and new experiences, such as those shared with you, that made 2014 bright. So, click here for my special greeting for you.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Adam

Celebrating You: A Season of Self-Love and Kindness

The holiday season can be a lot. For some, it’s full of joy and celebrations, while for others, it can feel overwhelming—whether it’s the pressure of year-end deadlines, missing loved ones, or just struggling to connect with the holiday spirit. In my latest blog, I’m focusing on ways to take care of *you*. From enjoying your favorite foods to stepping away from social media or taking yourself out for a quiet moment of peace, sometimes the best gift you can give is the gift of time and care for yourself. It’s also a chance to share kindness with others, even in small ways, which can make a bigger impact than you realize. Wherever this season finds you, I hope the blog offers a little inspiration to make the holidays feel more manageable—and meaningful—in your own way.

Finding Common Ground: Bridging Divides in a Polarized World

Our beliefs and perspectives evolve over time, shaped by our experiences and the changing world around us. This evolution is why open, constructive conversations—especially about divisive topics—are so critical. They allow us to explore our assumptions, challenge our thinking, and grow together, even when we disagree.

Today, I want to explore the concept of the slippery slope—a fear that often emerges in debates about rights and regulations. It’s a concern that touches on issues as varied as gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and abortion, though people often apply it inconsistently.
