Wade's Life LessonsFailure hurts, but if we fail and try again, is it truly failure? When should you give up and pivot? Do you know what sucks, when someone says, “yeah, he tried that and he failed. That taught him a lesson.” I think we have to try and learn. I think people that fail only fail […]
I talk to a lot of people in the tech industry and now is a rough time. I know you probably hear all the stories of all the successful people out there. We love to listen to the Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates stories of success. Maybe Steve Jobs, the rebel is more your style. […]
Did you ever read an article or hear a story on the news and get fired up, even though it has nothing to do with you, your family, or even anyone you know? I have, over and over again. It’s embarrassing when I look back. How crazy is it we can just see the news […]

Did you ever meet people who can remain calm throughout a crisis? I did and I am amazed. Not just medical or public safety, but people in ordinary jobs. It’s crazy how simple things can rock us. Were you ever given bad news about your health or finances? It sucks and it makes you irrational […]
