From what I have read on your blog you seem like a fairly intelligent man. Why don't you expand your "brand" in other venues like podcasts or public speaking events?
I actually had a conversation about doing such a thing last weekend, and I posed the question to a few friends a couple of months ago.
A little unknown history about me: I did some small work for a local radio station back in college. I have been told on more than one occasion that my voice would be perfect for radio, but being the capitalist that I was, I decided not to go into that particularly segment of the entertainment industry, considering people in radio make little to no money for all the work they actually do.
In the age of podcasts, however, it would be possible to monetize such an endeavor. And since I am no longer worried about doing things just to make money, I am pretty sure I’d do it for free and still have a blast doing it.
We will see. Right now it is more a time management issue than anything else. Between the holidays, a few conventions and round table meetings I am attending, and figuring out what to do with the two books I wrote, the next six months may be challenging.
where is your profile picture from
The Red Rocks in Vegas. Amazing climb, highly recommended.
is it better to have loved and lost, or to have never loved at all?
It is always better to have experienced the feeling and learn or grow from it, than to never experience that feeling so unique.
Did you see the racistvideo with the lady hitting the black mail guy
Yes I did. She is an ugly and hateful woman in every possible way. I would go into more detail about how her words affected me but I choose not to let negativity define my reality.
Favorite NBA center of all-time?
Easy. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Even had his book when I was younger.

Thoughts on the election?
Only 9% of youth voters, 10% African-American and 8% Hispanic-American voters turned out for the election.
Needless to say - pathetic.
Beyond that, it was inevitable (as I predicted) that the Republicans were going to make big gains on Tuesday. The House is theirs, and the Democrats got a big wake-up call.
