Passion in your cup

OK, I’m going to tell you something about passion that you already know. At least, I hope you already know it. Tonight at our swim team banquet, I couldn’t help but think one thing—where would I be without the passion and hunger that a sport like swimming etched into my brain? It’s that one thing that [...]

Goals for 2008

Yes, folks, I make New Year’s Resolutions. I figure since I’ve started keeping this tally, I will share my goals. This is more for myself, so please work with me, and don’t laugh. Run a half Ironman Swim a lifetime best in the 100 freestyle Bench press 200 lbs. Go to sleep with a clean condo Fall in love Buy a [...]

The Johari Window

It literally takes me months to finish a book—and I don’t read much. So when I do actually pick up and finish a book, it is probably a good one. One of my latest endeavors was the bestseller Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi, an incredible book about building your network and using relationships to [...]

“Time suck” (a.k.a. “timesucker”)

OK, back to it. My next corporate buzz words featured only at Eprugh.com are “time suck” or “timesucker”. I’m not exactly sure who started using this as a logical and acceptable buzz word in the corporate world, but doesn’t this seem just a little bit juvenile to anyone else? For those of you who don’t [...]

“In the weeds”

So to delve a bit into the root of my corporate buzz word satire, I’d first like to mention that I do use some of these words personally. I only think it’s funny that everyone uses them, and some of them don’t make a lot of sense, and some of them are kind of funny, [...]

To come: the top corporate buzz-words of 2008

So I’ve been working in the “corporate” environment for about 2 months. Not to say that ExactTarget is extremely corporate, but we are a Microsoft house that deals a lot with clients who are extremely corporate. To keep up, we have to make sure we keep our buzz words in tact. Since I am not [...]

The ultimate pick-up artist

You may or may not know, but last year I made a run to be on the Real World on MTV. I was initially contacted by MTV and thought it would be a cool thing. However, after they opened the website to the public, the site became a huge mess to get people to vote [...]

8 glasses per day

So I have a goal to get back into shape in 2008. Stop laughing. I have been working out decently regularly, but I was thinking of ways to learn some ways to not only build muscle but to lose fat. Aren’t we all? I found that one of the best tools to enhance fat loss [...]

Pitching new business

I am not an expert at cold-calling or weaseling my way into the front doors of major brands, but I have garnered a bit of knowledge on how to seal the deal once we’re in. These are some of the things I have found useful in my modest experience in sales & consulting. Track the [...]

Sports: Drawing a line

I’ve really taken to becoming more involved in the blogosphere. As I work on getting my name, thoughts, and opinions out there, I came across Lucas On Sports and a post about cheating in sports. So I began to think: What is the problem with sports? The big 3—baseball, basketball, & football—are obviously getting the [...]
