Every time my order has been delivered to my PO box at Villanova, I receive an email indicating that my “package has arrived” I read these emails right away because I follow the 0 inbox rule, so I know that it’s an errand I need to complete sometime during the day. But I only get… Continue reading

This month has been nothing short of amazing for me…and I hope to continue this newfound excitement for education, knowledge, and writing. But I didn’t start this alone. I had mentors to guide me. So, in tribute to Tim Ferriss’s… Continue reading
