Tips for hiring freelancers and other thoughts
As 2017 is taking off, we are gathering and preparing all the paperwork to be sent to the accountant, end of year forms to be sent to the State, etc. My newest assistant, Brent, asked me why we only hire freelancers. There is a long answer to this involving taxes, workman’s comp, ACA, monetary concerns, […]

The Reflection Pond
The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future. — Philip Emeagwali While I listen to a lot of the people around me lamenting this year, I’ve been silently rejoicing. Not that I’ve been particularly pleased with how this year went, but it wasn’t all bad. I went through […]

Insanitekian Way To Do The Holiday Season (And Winter)
Every year I hear the same thing. People feel rushed, they start to dislike family gatherings because of the obligations and “stuff” that they have to do. They have to make time to go present shopping, cook, parties, and all of life’s other tidbits. It’s chaos overload for most of those around me, including the […]

From This Point On
The past two weeks have been pretty interesting in America. As an independent voter, I’ve been lambasted for any manner of things that those doing the screaming have no evidence for. In the last week alone I’ve been accused of: Needless to say, at first I thought it was amusing — especially the white nationalist […]

To Thine Own Self Be True
Language is a funny thing. This phrase, originally from Shakespeare, to thine own self be true was meant not as a way to guide one to a righteous life full of goodness, but rather one full of potential selfishness. At least that’s what certain scholars believe. This can be taken as a true form of selfishness […]

A Tiny Experiment at Insanitek
Over the last few weeks I’ve been taking a great class, Persuasive Profits by Sharí Alexander. It’s been great for forcing my brain to get out-of-the-way and find ways to connect with our potential client base that we could serve. And when I say connect, I don’t mean connect in a caveman way where I […]

Sacrifices
The world of success fall into two camps: Work extra hard and extra smart… or become a better thief. I can hear many of you asking, “Is this chick serious?” The answer is yes. There are so many people out there wanting a “quick” way to get rich with little effort. We are human, after […]

Why We Focus On Homeschooling
A little over a year ago (by the time this post publishes) my father died. He was a buoy in an ocean of what-the-fuckery that is life for a long time. When things were going pear-shaped, I called Dad to laugh with, remind me that life is happening around me, and that I should simultaneously […]

With Power Comes Responsibility
I’ve been thinking about this phrase “with power comes responsibility” a lot lately. Perhaps it’s because it’s political hunting season in the US. As I scan the feelings of the crowed, I realise no one here really likes our choices. Yet this is the bed we lie in after decades of apathy built this craziness. I […]
