On Saturday I went to a child’s B-day party. My soon to be 8 year old daughter was invited by her friend, the B-day girl, to Bounce U – a place to jump in bouncy houses, eat pizza and cake and have fun the way 8 year olds do. My 4 year old son came […]

Good morning! It’s a good looking room today. Pretty full. Looking around, we’re about – what would you say – 60 plus? Sixty people; sixty egos. Now, to be clear, let’s not relate to the word “ego” in the colloquial manner. Typically it’s not a very positive thing. But today, let’s take the judgment out

Happy New Year everybody. It’s great to be back together. When I was a young boy, at sleep-away camp, one of the activities I both thoroughly enjoyed – and excelled at – was sailing. There were these little white fiberglass boats with colorful sails and names like “sunfish.” I enjoyed sitting out on a smooth

Last night was the eighth and final night of Hannukah, we’re five days from Christmas, and eleven from the New Year. The cold weather may have come late but it got here. The music that began at 12:01am the day after Thanksgiving tells us, it’s the season. To reflect, to plan, and to give. It’s

We know the words “thanks,” and “thankful,” and “gratitude.” But I want to take a closer

So here we are at a special Thursday edition of NYC Lucky 62. And it’s predictable that at some point today each of us is going to think a thought or take an action that’s typically reserved for our Wednesday’s. And hopefully we won’t walk too far down that path. We’ll realize and smile, and

Think about what happens when you touch a hot stove. The speed of the nerve impulse through your neural network can be as fast as 100 meters per second. It’s almost instantaneous – and there’s a reflex action even before your brain gets the time it needs to process the threat. There’s no thinking involved.

Show of hands, how many people have been in their current line of work for at least two years? Keep your hands raised if it’s been five years. Seven years. Ten years. Twenty years?! Wow. Ok, so there’s some variation but for the most part we’ve been at what we’ve been up to for a

Every piece of business ultimately contains a transaction. Typically, it’s an exchange of goods or services for money. And there are different levels of exchange. In other words, buying a pack of gum is going to be less involved than buying a brownstone, right Josh Doyle? Nora, I imagine hiring someone for a week might
