Welcome to
What You Taught Me
Whether you are in sales, marketing, leadership, or an entrepreneur, you are in the right place.
In What You Taught Me, I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned when it comes to exchanging resources for goods and services, i.e. sales. A skill set that I believe is relevant in all areas of business. These lessons come from people, current events, books, bands, and anywhere else I see the art of sales at work.

What Mario Kart Taught Me About Repetition
The joy of Mario Kart comes in mastering the most efficient route of each track while managing the strategy of deploying and avoiding weapons. This balance of art and science makes for a compelling activity that isn’t always enjoyable. Whether you are racing the CPU, a stranger with an alien avatar, or a friend on the next beanbag chair over, the pain of losing a race from a well timed greed/red/blue shell is unavoidable.
