‘Keep Laughing as Loud as Possible’

May 6, 2022 By FBN Leave a Comment

Problem solving is what you would expect on any given day in business. But some problems are outrageous and require an equally outrageous response. And that’s why I love the memory of Gilbert Gottfried. When my public relations business was starting out and I was young and enthusiastic and didn’t … [Read more...] about ‘Keep Laughing as Loud as Possible’

Are You Slipping Back into Caveman Brain?

March 3, 2022 By FBN Leave a Comment

When Governor Doug Ducey addressed more than 500 businesspeople in Northern Arizona last month, the audience heard him talk about progress being made in expanding broadband connectivity along I-40 from Flagstaff to the California border.

Living in Gratitude at Altitudes

January 1, 2022 By FBN Leave a Comment

On a typical “bluebird” winter day on Arizona’s highest mountain, expert skiers like Lynda Fleischer greet the crystal clear bluest-of-blue sky with a huge smile to the heavens after a night of fresh-fallen snow. “This is where I belong,” she said. “The mountain is part of who I am. It makes me who … [Read more...] about Living in Gratitude at Altitudes

Navigating with Purpose

December 1, 2021 By FBN Leave a Comment

Lava Falls Rapid is white-water fierce. It is, by far, the most famous and daunting rapid on the mighty Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. It comes up after a nice calm stretch of laid-back, almost complacent, floating. Most wouldn’t even notice the distant spray and subtle splashing up ahead. But … [Read more...] about Navigating with Purpose

Five Pounds to Perfect

September 1, 2021 By FBN Leave a Comment

Do you ever hear yourself starting sentences with, “If only,” or “When I,” or “After I?” They sound like this: “If only I had a doctoral degree, I could get the job I really want,” or “After I make my first million, I can travel to exotic lands,” or “When I lose five pounds, I’ll reward myself with … [Read more...] about Five Pounds to Perfect

Hissing is Never a Good Sound

August 5, 2021 By FBN Leave a Comment

I once had dinner with a rattlesnake. It was an uninvited guest, but nonetheless, it showed up at suppertime while I was grilling. I did what any courageous Arizonan should do who doesn’t have a long-handled shovel or a pair of snake tongs. I called the fire department – which I’ve heard is the No. … [Read more...] about Hissing is Never a Good Sound

We are Better When We Move

June 1, 2021 By FBN 1 Comment

Turns out the Sundance Kid had it right. “I’m better when I move,” he explained, during a job interview to be a payroll guard, when asked if could shoot. And the truth is, so are we. Except now there’s a whole lot of research backing Sundance up, much like Butch Cassidy’s Hole in the Wall Gang … [Read more...] about We are Better When We Move

Reflecting the Glow of a Lucky Starfish

May 7, 2021 By FBN Leave a Comment

There’s a popular story told by many a motivational speaker that describes a person walking along a beach who was picking up starfish on the shore and tossing them back into the ocean. An observer told the starfish thrower that his efforts were basically pointless because there were so many starfish … [Read more...] about Reflecting the Glow of a Lucky Starfish

Mental Toughness Finds a Way Out of the Jungle

March 7, 2021 By FBN Leave a Comment

If Maui were a woman, she would look like Amanda Eller. At a lean 5-foot-7 and donning a long, breezy, tangerine-colored dress, Amanda seemed to float, not walk, down the main street of Makawao. Her delicate golden leaf earrings dangled and shimmered against her long smooth, shiny, dark brown hair. … [Read more...] about Mental Toughness Finds a Way Out of the Jungle

Be Camera Ready, Like James Bond

February 6, 2021 By FBN Leave a Comment

The thing about Opportunity is she doesn’t necessarily arrive after you’ve lost five pounds, gotten out of your sweatpants, whitened your teeth and brushed your hair. Opportunity is quite stubborn about being on her own schedule. She’s kind of a brat that way. She shows up when she feels like it, … [Read more...] about Be Camera Ready, Like James Bond
