While I didn’t get through as many books as I would have liked this year, I did get to read some pretty interesting stuff. The four I would recommend are: ‘Shoe Dog’ by Phil Knight It’s the Nike founders autobiography that focuses heavily on the early days of the company. It might be shocking to…
I should start off by saying ‘long time, no blog’ but that would just be strange. I do write all the time but it’s for my sports blog SidelineSignals.com and soon you will see my stuff on CollegeFootballNews.com. Anyway, this one is about TEDx Mile High 2017 and the things I took away. So yes,…
