  Jelly Roll Helped Me Find God.

  May 2, 20269 minS0

  <p>The day after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, his doting wife appeared statuesque behind the Turning Point USA Podium, to a live audience, preaching the goodness of God. On the podium were the words, “May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior.” With a quivering voice, she made repeated mentions of Charlie now being “home.”</p><p>My eyes rolled to the back of my head. This seemingly-performative allegiance to Him, the sort of pageantry only natural to the ice-eyed, platinum blonde Erikas of the world, was precisely the reason I’d considered myself agnostic for so lon...

  Your Kids Aren’t the Ones Buying Poptarts.

  Apr 28, 202610 minS0

  <p>“Lard ass” was the most crowd-pleasing term for overweight children in the 90’s. Genetics blessed my brother and I with lean-yet-muscular physiques with little effort, though we inherited my Dad’s affinity for sports from early on. We were never targeted as lard-asses, and I also don’t remember us calling others “lard-ass” unless they were our closest friends.</p><p>Adults passively shushed those of us slinging the sneer before moving back into the day’s lesson: preparing us for the mile-run fitness test. The test, which now only about 25% of the adult American population can complete without stopping, was th...

  A Physiology-First Workplace

  Apr 8, 202612 minS0

  <p>This will be a 2-part piece which lays out the 2 pillars of a better workplace: physiology as the foundation of behavior and functioning (this piece), and adjusting the “system” so that behavior follows actual, predictable feedback loops… similar to dog training (Gasp!)--- this is the next piece.</p><p>In Cheyenne’s right hand is a 32-ounce Dunkin’ Donuts cup adorned with a bitten-in-several-places straw. It sweats from the outside, leaving droplets onto the table directly beside her MacBook Air. With each wrist flick, Cheyenne swirls caramel-coated-Oreo-shrapnel through a hurricane of heavily-syruped, watered-down iced coffee. “Ugh, I’m like so anxiou...

  The United States of You: Leading Yourself in a Company That Has No Standards or Common Sense

  Mar 23, 20267 minS0

  <p>I once worked with a teenager who had to be padlocked in her own home from the inside. A highly aggressive kid with a knack for sprinting out of her own home to charge into the garages, locked doors, and windows of others’ houses, she was both a liability and a threat to her family and society. The police had been called on several occasions because of her relentlessly pounding on strangers’ doors, demanding she be let into the home to pocket something she saw through their living room window.</p><p>Her parents’ response? “She just wants to look at...

  I Was Offered An Autism Clinic That Was a Guaranteed Cash Cow

  Mar 17, 20267 minS0

  <p>I shared recently that I was canned from a school consulting gig that I actually very much enjoyed. As the Big Man Above would have it, I’ve since received nearly 10 different offers for work doing the exact same thing. This is one of the upsides of working in healthcare, I suppose: with America’s mental and physical health deteriorating at the rates it has, you can essentially get fired on Monday morning and secure another job come dinner.</p><p>One of the options pitched was an objectively legitimate one. In looking solely at the financials, like profit & loss...
