It is a well documented phenomena, however flawed or impractical it may be, that humans tend to refuse to change their position on a topic even in the face of overwhelming evidence. An obvious example perhaps could be to look at outlandish conspiracy theorists, who submit claims such as the wor...

The advent of coronavirus—also called by its more scientific designation, COVID-19—has dramatically and perhaps even permanently altered the worldwide landscape for business, economics, and consumerism. It is predicted that a recession might hit the world because of the global lockdown and resulting...

When businesses consider what their goals should be, “innovation” tends to be a key word that managers, owners, and team leads throw around often. But what does innovation mean, and how can it foster the development and growth of a business?

Innovation, the hottest buzzword of the time, is typically...

Play Devil's Advocate with me for a moment, and accept my outrageous premise. Despite what mainstream media, Hollywood productions, conventional wisdom, anecdotal evidence and history might tell us, the notion that no one, upon lying on their deathbed, wishes they spent more time at the office, is f...

I was sitting, a few weeks ago, with friends, and we were talking and unwinding after a long week's work. An astrophysicist, an engineer, a lawyer, and a business executive, a table adorned with a beer, a glass of wine, whiskey on the rocks, and an iced tea, relaxing and enjoying the reprise th...

Your favorite chair, cane, plate, coffee cup, what did they do to earn your favoritism? It is funny to think that an inanimate object can hold such esteem, when it has, in fact, done nothing to bring benefit, or harm. The loss of this item might bring some manner of grief, akin to the loss of a love...
