Here are my unsexy reasons and unconventional choices — I celebrated my 35th birthday this past week. But that wasn’t the highlight of the week by any stretch. I had my last day at work – at a job I had worked in for nearly 12 years. A job at one of the leading financial institutions in the world…

By building a belief system peddled by greed and chauvinism — When I was a child growing up, my mother was practically the center of my world.

I’ve also always frowned upon the idea of gender roles…

Yet, the platform’s loss might be your big opportunity — I am going to wear a body suit complete with a load of small fish glued to its surface and jump right into a shark tank to be ripped off into pieces. Because someone needs to say it, yet nobody is. I loved LinkedIn as a concept and platform for…

We are living far longer, but way more miserable lives — We’ve more than doubled the world’s average life expectancy in a span of a mere century.
