As we wrap up this calendar year, it’s a great time to review and reflect. If you’re a long time listener to this podcast then you know that I like to make lists, set goals, keep track of accomplishments, and make periodic checks of how things are going in my life. One of the best times of year to do that is the time of year that says goodbye to one year and ushers in the next.
So as a reminder for all of us, here are the goals I set for 2015: Read More…

On July 14 of this year I was let go from my job of the last four years by people that I still count as friends. I have been in the credit union space for more than 25 years and have just as much passion for the movement today as ever. Being displaced is one of the toughest things that I have ever dealt with and as of this past Monday it has been over five months and I am still not in a new position anywhere. I have had two major paths that I have been pursuing over several months come to a very quick end so I am cleaning the slate and pursuing new and all types of things. There are things like health insurance, unemployment payments, upcoming medical bills, the emotional stability of my family, as well as me, and so many other things to think about and juggle. I have been living with hearing voices of condemnation in my head and heart and have felt utterly hopeless at times. And I am thankful for it all. Read More…

Exactly 12 days ago I climbed inside a car along side my wife, and headed south toward Dallas, TX. It’s not often that we get time away together. In fact, since we had kids 13 years ago, I can probably count the number of times we’ve gone away together on one hand. Don’t feel bad; it’s mostly due to the fact that we’re both very content staying at home and hanging out.
Having said that, we were both really excited to be heading to Dallas. You see, we had a very specific reason for our trip south of the Red River. We were headed out to see one of our favorite rock bands, Muse. I first discovered Muse about 6 years ago while doing The Fringe Podcast. Jason, one of my co-hosts suggested that we play a part of their song “Uprising” at the end of one of our episodes. Read More…

Today I will once again be talking about change, but not the kind that you can carry around in your pocket. I’ve spoken about change a few times on this podcast, and I expect that it will be a topic that will continue to be a point of discussion with some regularity. Why? Because change is inevitable. It affects all of us in various ways at various times, and it continues to be a relevant topic.
Today’s focus will be this very podcast. That’s right, Stuff I Learned Yesterday is just as susceptible to change as anything else is. Read More…
