People category is about people as a whole and what they do together.
In every aspect of life—whether it’s reselling, maintenance work, or parenting—there is immense value in going above and beyond what is expected of you. While it may not always feel rewarding in the moment, the long-term benefits of doing more than what is asked can profoundly impact your life and the lives of those around you. I’ve put together a list of six benefits. I think I might go the...
Today, sports have been on my mind. Put there by those around me. It seems like everywhere I’ve turned, someone was bringing up a game, a player, their kids playing sports, or a big match they just watched. This pattern made me stop and think, what it’s about sports that commands such attention and devotion? And what does that say about our society? The Big Money in Sports vs. Real-World Needs...

One often overlooked factor in the workplace is natural lighting. I don’t get much natural lighting in my office/the boiler room unless the door is open. There are no windows.
