It’s been a minute…

It’s been a minute since I last wrote and posted something. It doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing anything. On the contrary, a sh*t ton has happened in my life since the summer started. Firstly, I got a new job. I wasn’t looking. I was perfectly content being a design strategist. Helping brands and companies…

How I bought a house for $50K during COVID

I’ve started to slowly change my mindset about money. One of the books that made me question money and what it possible in my journey to wealth and abundance is Rich Dad, Poor Dad. One of the most important chapters for me was Lesson 5: The Rich Invent Money. The chapter begins with a quote:…

June 8th
It’s my birthday today. 36! Some of the major events that are happening today: The PC party has a majority government for the provincial election which means Doug Ford is the Premier. Anthony Bourdain has committed suicide, just days after Kate Spade took her life as well. And I have injuries and bruises from rugby.…

A Turkish Bath
I’ve only done one body treatment. And boy was that a revealing experience. So, my lack of research into what a Turkish bath entailed was, of course, amusing when I got into the room to find out that I would be almost fully naked (except for a piece of cloth around my unmentionables).

The Royal Wedding – a new era for the monarchy
A new era in the monarchy is taking place. As I watch the recap of the Royal Wedding one woman was being interviewed by a reporter asked her about her thoughts. She said, quite candidly, “she is the first black princess”. There are a lot of firsts happening today, Harry will now be known as…

Speculating the Future of Food
In a recent Monocle Minute newsletter, they featured California-based chef James Corwell who has created Ahimi, a tuna alternative made from tomato, soy sauce, sugar, water and sesame oil.

Branding a brandless company – Muji
What I love about Muji is the simplicity in their designs. You can see it in every aspect of your home. There’s a sense of zen and cleanness about the look and feel of their products. In recent years this company has started to expand its product line to pre-fab homes to hotel chains in…

The power of Fortnite
I never understood the fascination with watching YouTubers play video games. My nephews are addicted to watching DanTDM play Minecraft and now are aspiring to be a gamer on YouTube. I thought it was a generational thing until I asked them about the Fortnite game. They told me that Ninja is the best player and that…

There’s no romance on the GO
Today, I took the dreaded GO Train. I prefer the bus because it’s more comfortable and less crowded. But because of time, I had to take it in order to make it back to Hamilton in time for a meeting at 6:30 pm.

Today, I went to the doctor. And like most experiences, you aren’t really expecting a whole lot of customer service even though it’s a one-on-one job.

Working as a Team
Over the last week, I’ve seen multiple ways individuals have come together to work as a team to get a job done in different industries. At work, I’ve watched the “take-over” maneuver where the principles just take control of a project leaving the rest of the team to ponder what they are doing and how to…
