Recently, I realized how many of us (“us” includes me) use the phrase, “I have to __X__”, whether it’s referring to:
“I have to go to work” “I have to pick up my kid” “I have to get better about what I eat”
Sometimes the language is, “I should“.
Another close cousin is “I’m going [...]
I reconnected over lunch with a colleague recently. Before I could blink, the meeting was over—and the server delivered the check (cleverly):
But before The Damage, my colleague and I discussed business, success, strategy, projects, life, loss, family and the future—a long list for one (two) to cover in 50 minutes. But we [...]
The surface area of the Earth is ~5,502,532,127,000,000 (five quadrillion, five hundred two trillion, five hundred thirty-two billion, one hundred twenty-seven million) square feet.
In this latest “blip” of history (i.e., the era of hyper-connectivity) we witness the amazing access we can have to each and every person ‘cross those five quadrillion square feet—when [...]

I call this photo “SnowMass”. I took it through the windshield of a car, via iPhone, at 65 miles an hour (I wasn’t driving). It was early in the morning. Everything appeared grey-scale as there was nothing but road, an early haze, and 3″ of puffy snow everywhere.
The photo [...]

If the amount of time the Earth has existed is the equivalent of a day—an entire human lifespan is like a hundredth of a second (0.0012 seconds to be precise).
Whether you live to be 52, 62, 72 or 82—the math pretty much remains the same.
Yet, in the blink-of-an-eye we call life, we get somewhere in [...]

What will things look like when we ring-in 2014?
We never quite know what the future will bring, but we can count on one thing—each next-year picture will be increasingly different from the prior.
Ever think about the pencil? The other night I was reading a book the old fashioned way—The book was a [...]
We’re at that time again when most of us look back, reflect and anticipate a new year. For us here at SBUC, it’s no different. We’re anticipating a busy year of stirring-up a ruckus (in a good way) helping energize and motivate new thinking… and providing tools and experiences that help people adapt to the [...]
Here at SBUC our programming revolves around Seven Relationships of living—i.e., our relationships with technology, things, time, money, place/space, others (people) and self.
The relationship with “self” is the crescendo relationship in that it is the relationship that involves one’s consciousness, clarity and choice making.
Recently, Sue and I had a conversation with an expert in the area [...]

We don't have a physical university campus (just yet!). But we do have a foundation. We call it "camp-us". See, early in the formation of SBUC, a certain "camp" of people supported SBUC via either the crowd-funding campaign—in other ways—or both.
Thank you...
