The first hatemail I got was in 2002. The last hate mail I received was 5 minutes ago. I'd like to be able to say, "I don't care". But sometimes it bothers me. Sometimes people press the right buttons, even if by accident. Is it that they disagree? Jealous? Hate how I look? All of the above? This article is what happens and how I (try to) deal with it. Let me know in the comments how you deal with it. I need all the help I can get. #entrepreneurship #career #writing #college #homeownership #investing #haters #socialmedia …see more

The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a historic comeback yesterday: Playing against the Houston Texans, the Chiefs became the first team to win a playoff game by 20 points after trailing by 20 points in the same game. In a postgame press conference, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave some insight into how his team was able to claw back into the game. "The biggest thing that I think I was preaching to the team was, 'let's go do something special,'" said Mahomes. "Everybody's already counting us out. Let's just go play-by-play and just put our best effort out there...play-by-play we just chipped away at that lead." "One play at a time," Mahomes would go on to repeat. This five-word-phrase is simple enough, but it's much more than a sports cliché. It's a core tenet of emotional intelligence, and it can help you climb back from the brink of failure to do great things.

Some #MondayMotivation as I remember spending June 6 reporting on the peaceful protests against the murder of #GeorgeFloyd in Washington, DC for National Geographic . I was just two years old during the first #MarchOnWashington in 1963. I covered a Klan rally in Florida in 1988, and the Million Man March in 1995. I’m looking forward to attending the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington. I’m also looking forward to my country healing.

I never realized that President Barack Obama's former Special Assistant Reggie Love was a #Charlotte native! He's giving a terrific keynote speech at the City Startup Labs Kick-Off Event tonight.  He's impressing the audience with his tale of traversing his non-linear career path, suggesting to the group of entrepreneurs and small business owners that they should stay flexible, open to change and willing to accept challenges. From football too basketball to finance to the White House, at age 36 Love realizes he didn't necessarily chart a path. But because he was willing to embrace new opportunities, his career has soared.
