I enjoy good debate as much as the next person. Well, no, I don’t. Not anymore. Good debate has become a thing of the past, a relic of days gone when men acted with class and chivalry. As a culture, we held ourselves to a higher standard. Sure, money was objectified and deified as it… Continue reading Why We Need to Stop Talking About Pete Rose

#MorningMotivation | Captain Phillips’ Leadership Lecture
Captain Richard Phillips speaks with a quick, high pitched New England vibrato, the type of vocal cadence where you nearly miss every fifth or eighth word being said but the message still gets across. When Captain Phillips speaks the message is clear, he is a man who is confident in his ability to lead others… Continue reading #MorningMotivation | Captain Phillips’ Leadership Lecture
When Success is Dressed Like Failure
“You don’t conquer the mountain, you only conquer yourself.” Jim Whittaker My plans for 2015, I think, are ambitious. Maybe too ambitious. But I’m okay with that.

THE RANT: Jon Stewart and the State of the News
It's hugely disappointing to see someone with Jon Stewart & The Daily Show's influence and financial resources not do their diligence with their "reporting". Entertainment or not, this show is (sadly) a major source for real news for young adults. You know, the ones who will lead this country one day? I won't talk politics… Continue reading THE RANT: Jon Stewart and the State of the News

The House at the End of Mulberry Road | A Morton Podcast Radio Play
