Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll take a moment to look around. I
have posted articles, lists and a movie that I think are valuable for
quarterlifers--people in their teens, twenties and thirties.
Below is a movie I made called The Questions. If you've ever felt overwhelmed
by the real world I think you'll find it helpful.

Here is my story...
Several years ago at the age of 24 I graduated from chiropractic
college and moved to Colorado to open up a chiropractic office. For the
next six months I worked to build my practice, meet new people, learn how to run
a business, find social involvements, stay in shape, and get to know my new
town. I continuously felt stressed and full of anxiety. If you've ever had to
give a public speech, do you remember that uneasy feeling of butterflies you
experienced? I had that feeling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It was that pain, along with the suffering I
saw in my friends, which led me to pick up the telephone and call successful
chiropractors and businesspeople. I began asking them what they had done when
they opened their doors, and to my surprise they told me! Taking their advice, I
made changes in my office and immediately began to notice positive results.
Patients started signing up for care and referring family members to the office.
Soon I was calling other individuals I admired and asking them questions about
finances, relationships, spirituality, and personal growth. I took their
suggestions, integrated them into my life, and experienced even more significant
changes.
What started out as my personal questioning
process eventually grew into hosting both a talk radio program and a talk
television show. Now, each week, I interview the worlds leading experts on the
topics of personal potential, business, politics, wellness, spirituality,
relationships, finance, and career. These in-depth conversations with the
greatest thinkers of our time have completely transformed my life.
Now let me make one thing very clear...Do I
have it all figured out? No way! But my life is 100 percent better
because I dont have the frustration, confusion, and uncertainty that I once
did.
In 2005 I completed my first book--Upload
Experience: Quarterlife Solutions for Teens and Twentysomethings. Here
is a picture of the cover.

Upload Experience: Quarterlife Solutions for Teens and Twentysomethings is
the book I wish I'd had when first entering the real world.
I wrote it because I wanted to share with my
friends what others have generously shared with me.
What the book has to offer is a unique
perspective. Not only have I brought together solutions from the experts, Ive
also interviewed over 400 of our peers. Each chapter contains the real life
experiences, insights, and questions that other quarterlifers have shared with
me.
Let me tell you a little secret. Our generation
knows far more than we give ourselves credit for knowing. When I asked people 17
to 35 years old to address the hardest questions that we face and heard their
answers, I was amazed! In many ways their insights have had the greatest impact
on my life. Heres why. Most of the experts I interview are in their late 40s,
50s, 60s, and even 70s. While you cant put a price tag on their advice and
wisdom, they grew up in a different era than ours and cant necessarily relate
to the problems, concerns, and obstacles of our generation.
Think in your own life about how easy it is to
forget a problem once youve found a solution. Do you remember how much you
agonized over which computer to buy? Once you bought, it all of your concerns
became a distant memory as you moved onto the next problem. Now imagine how
little of a problem you would remember if it occurred over 20 years ago. When I
hit upon this understanding, I knew I had to focus Quarterlife Solutions
around our generation and thats exactly what I did.
Since
the book came out I have been continuing to write and interview other
quarterlifers. If interested you may visit
