Do you like Jazz? Check out Ariel Pocock. She is recording her first album and it is great! The album includes 12 original compositions by Ariel. Hard to believe someone as young as Ariel can sound like a Jazz Standard from days gone by! I predict we will be listening to Ariel for years to come.
You can support Ariel by pre-ordering her new CD here: Ariel Pocock’s Artist Share project
Kelli Richards has asked me to join her on blog talk radio this Monday at 5pm Pacific.
I have worked with and known Kelli for many years. She is a gifted person. Here is a little bit of her background. One page cannot do her resume justice. In addition to helping us publish two books on Millennials (turned into a conference by Digital Media Wire‘s Ned Sherman), Kelli and our team at PassAlong Networks pioneered many industry firsts. This was nothing new to Kelli. She has been a media and tech industry pioneer all her life. And who else can I say has introduced me to Jammit‘s Scott Humphrey, Donny Osmond, Sharon Osborne, Peter Frampton, Linius’ Finbar, Ted Nugent, Rich Little and many others. Kelli’s latest book “The Magic and Moxie of Apple – An Insiders View” is already a best seller and a must read for music and technology lovers.
This is a streaming radio show. Call in to (626)696-8608 or listen online.

BusyLife™ – Helping you manage your busy personal and professional life
BusyLife has been entered in the Evernote Developer Cup! I hope you’ll check it out.
In the coming weeks I will be sharing the many uses of BusyLife, including applications for individuals and teams.
Not many of us would drive to a destination in a new area that we’ve never been to without a map. Yet that is exactly what the majority of us do with life. Many take the time to set short term goals. Yet few – very few – have crafted a Mission Statement for themselves.
I was one of the many that lacked that map. Almost 20 years ago I took the time to write down a one page mission statement for my life. I did the exercise on my Birthday. It was one of the best “presents” I have ever given myself. It is interesting that as life has changed and circumstances have changed, my Mission Statement has not. That doesn’t mean it cannot – it simply has not needed to change.
My Mission Statement has four paragraphs:
I read my Mission Statement every week. It grounds me. It helps me keep my eyes on the bigger picture. It brings perspective. It challenges me to ensure my short-term priorities remain in line with my long-term direction.
When I worked at Microsoft the company Mission/Vision Statement was “A microcomputer on every desk and in every home running Microsoft software.” As tablets and new forms of computers came out the Mission statement was updated. Yet that simple original Mission Statement lasted untouched for the majority of my tenure with the company. It guided us and brought perspective to the decisions we made in the business. What was even more amazing to me was that everyone in the company knew the Mission Statement and could state it pretty much verbatim. That brought alignment to all of our work.
I want to encourage you to write down your personal Mission Statement. Give yourself a gift. Drive life’s journey with a personal map!
