This morning was crazy. We all woke up late and it all spiraled from there. Finally we all got out of the house. I got to work, sat down and got a call. The call was from my wife, that we forgot to send my 7 year-old in the dead of winter with a coat.…

Staying Mindful During This Holiday Season
I’m not the most mindful person. Anyone who knows me, knows that I go a mile a minute, both in personal and professional life. But I’m finding that taking a step back and breathing helps. I try and meditate at least once a day, if possible. I use an app called Calm and another called…

A Time To Be Thankful
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I can’t believe it’s here already. Especially with this holiday, I tend to reflect on what I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for the obvious things, my family and my health.

Business Is Fluid. You Need To Learn How To Adapt
In the 10+ years of running Goldstein Media, I’ve noticed something. Business isn’t something that is static and unchanging. It’s fluid. Every deal, contract, project is different from the last one and any future ones. To be honest, I wish my business wouldn’t throw me curve balls, where I would have revise contracts and agreements.…
