Organize a Child’s Event Today and There Must Be Snacks

Posted On May 11, 2022

Somehow the settlers of this great nation gathered their belongings and walked west from one side of this continent to the other. They experienced hunger, heat, floods, mountain ranges to cross, angry and unwelcoming tribes, and goodness knows what else. No one met them along the way with snacks. Check out this episode!

Critical of our state? Don’t complain. Engage.

Posted On May 11, 2022

My buddy in New York state who quit and left, and who’s trying to ridicule those of us that are proud to call Alabama our home is, actually, a coward. He didn’t like the way it was going so he took his toys and left. He gave up. He’s pouting and holding his breath. Don’t let that be you. Don’t let that be me. If you don’t like it, work to change it. Get involved. Engage. Check out this episode!

Posted On May 11, 2022

Find each city’s tallest building and that’s what that city values the most. Or so said a college professor back in the day. So I put his theory to the test last fall as my business travel took me across the country.  Communicator Awards 2019 Award of Distinction Winner Check out this episode!

Tithers

Posted On May 11, 2022

What the research revealed, though, was that the younger church members equated tithing to generosity, which it, of course, is. But what generosity meant to them was treating people nicely and kindly, not giving money to the church. Check out this episode!

Software and Maps

Posted On May 11, 2022

My friend gave the young employee the plant schematic, which is, essentially, a map, and told him to go find the terminal and do the needed software update while he visited with the plant manager. The young man returned a little while later and asked his boss to step outside. He couldn’t find the terminal, he said. Check out this episode!

Marston Family Great Chain of Being

Posted On May 11, 2022

Below the kids and their devices is a tie between the dog and the trampoline (and notice that I’m not on the list yet). The dog and trampoline were begged for by the kids with heaps of promises about the attention, care, and upkeep that will be given to both but are now mostly neglected and only leave big brown spots in my yard.

We Welcomed the Elf On the Shelf. Then it Became a Problem.

Posted On May 11, 2022

First the elf wrote messages that he had to return to the North Pole for a multi-day conference with Santa and he’d be back next week. Since I travel to conferences a good bit, the kids thought it was reasonable; they understood. Then we realized we might could manipulate the kids by having the elf leave notes about their behavior, so the elf began commenting on discipline issues and grades and how he had to report everything to Santa.

Football again? No, Thank You.

Posted On May 11, 2022

Red-faced, spittle spewing men, often grossly overweight, screaming in my face aren’t motivational to me. They are, in fact, un-motivational. They make me wonder. And I remember telling one such coach during a drill, “Hey. How about a little perspective? It’s just footwork” after he spewed forth in my face about something. This led to more spewing and more spittle, this time much closer. I remember thinking “Poor man. I wonder if he’s unhappy.” Check out this episode!

I Said The Wrong Thing

Posted On May 11, 2022

Due to the nature of my business I’m often asked these types of questions. They often include some element of “what’s wrong with kids these days.” What I try to explain is that “these kids,” have come from us. We made them. Their values and behaviors and dependencies developed in our homes, at ball fields where you and I were the coaches, in the classrooms where people like you and me were their teachers. We made them. We’re responsible. Check out this episode!
