The center of the American drone revolution might be Stillwater, Oklahoma

Drones are predominantly associated with the military, but commercial uses are on the rise. The biggest day-to-day life example was the whole Amazon-reveals-it-on-60-Minutes thing (although some believe that might be kinda far off), but there are implications for the oil and gas industry… Continue Reading

Executive coaching could be a pretty lucrative way to go, career-wise (and that kinda makes no sense)

There are two pretty basic things we can do to improve the American office job. Could they ever be done?

You see headlines like “How many months would it take an average worker to make what a CEO makes in 1 hour?” all the time. It’s depressing. (If you care, the answer for McDonald’s is 6 months and 4 weeks,… Continue Reading
