TPP 027: July Reflection
Shoot For The Bullseye and You Just Might Land On The Target If expectations are the target's bullseye, then disappointment is the archer's errant arrow. But missing the bullseye doesn't necessarily mean you've missed the target. And even if you miss the target sometimes, you're still looking in...

TPP 022: Interview with Eric Adams
Food and Politics There is no question that today, politics is constantly, and rather painfully, "in your face." The silver lining? Politics has got our attention now. It isn't all bad new though - ok a lot of it is pretty bad - but the good should be highlighted too. We don't often think of...

TPP 021: Harnessing Your Flow to Enhance Health and Wellness

TPP 020: Interview with Marc Wood
Each one of us is fortunate to be on this planet for the limited time that we have. We are lucky to have the opportunity to make choices about where we live, how we live, and can decide what we live for. This has created mass confusion for many millennials, and yet somehow, they too will figure…

TPP 019: Unprecedented Growth by Combining Work and Passion

TPP 015: Interview with Kate Harris and Keith Tharp
In a society where "more" is "better", it is easy to become completely lost in consumerism and materialism. Far more challenging however, is to recognize your own struggles and then pivot to set a genuine intention so that you can steer in the right direction. But, we know that nothing worth...

TPP 014: Interview with Dr. Mauricio Gonzalez
Think of last time you visited a primary care doctor and the reasons why you made that trip to his or her office - perhaps it was to do with a sore throat that only worsened or a pain in your body that grew or maybe something else. Whatever the reason may have been, the bottom line is that when…
