No fluff just stuff this week…. 1. The 5-Second Rule (no not for food) 2. Credit Card Roulette 3. Mastermind Groups PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 5-Second Rule, nope not that one. This one is about goal setting and making yourself a better human. Besides, everyone knows that when it comes to food that the rule is more like the “10 or 15-second rule”.

You are not alone. We all feel lost from time to time. Adulting is hard. This week I spoke to a group of undergraduate Engineers at George Washington University in Washington DC.
