For those of you who follow Depth Not Width regularly, you’ve noticed there’s been a break in the pattern. You’ve always heard from me at least once a week, and at times, more often than that.

Videos of everyday people who jump in front of [...]
I spent a good part of my life looking for the easiest and fastest ways to succeed. At everything. From my work and making money to my relationships, I wanted to get to my destination as quickly as possible with minimal work. That's probably why I was a sprinter in high school and not a [...]
How much of your life are you leaving on the table? This isn’t meant as some kind of a rah-rah question. You don’t need a cheerleader. You do need a quick reality check. We all do. Ask yourself right now… Am I living up to my potential or tapping into less than what’s possible? As [...]
