After landing in humidity-filled capital, I was walking through a terminal, gasping for what it seemed like very little oxygen. Was the air-conditioning on at the airport? Highly doubt it. A rush of just hell hit me before going to a taxi rank (and luckily a good one) to get a taxi to my hotel.... Continue Reading →
There are foundations that I won't name that do more taking than giving. There are too many "non profit" organizations that ask for money, but then those givers have no idea where there money actually goes. Over the course of so many years of seeing blood donation centers asking for blood and NGO's asking for... Continue Reading →

In reading The Richest Man in Babylon, Mr. Osborn found that wealth could be acquired if you: (a) Just save one dime out of every dollar you earn; (b) Each six months, invest your...

"Less time; more money!" That was my motto heading into this year. After all the events that had taken place in the month of October and November, I was almost sure that I could've made 120$ an in two hours with a private course teaching business law.

On some days, there's an older... Continue Reading →
After a very interesting conversation with some of my students, we talked about the best and worst secondary (high schools in America) schools in Thailand. I wanted to deep dive into the idea of what made them so different. Was it the environment? The parents? What are the influences? How come I'm different? Being born... Continue Reading →

Geographical, Cultural, Spiritual, Gender, Economical, Spiritual.....one of these played a huge part in how we view money. For instance, when I was young, I remember my mom cooking flower tortillas in vegetable oil just to put... Continue Reading →
When I was 7 years old, I remember watching my brother play Jurassic Park on Sega Genesis while listening to Babyface's "when can I see you again."
