What’s Your Priority?

What’s Your Priority?

Blog by Rick0 comments

A question that often gets overlooked is “What does improving my life look like?” It’s easy to use other people’s metrics, but it’s crucial to find the metrics that matter the most for your own life.  Speaking for myself, it’s easy to assume that it means the same as the […]

Limits to the Hiring Process

bias by Rick0 comments

When reviewing candidates for a job position that got an overwhelming amount of applications, I realized how many rad people there are in the world. It makes me a bit sad that there’s only one position for so many amazing individuals, and this process has also helped me realize there […]

Lessons Learned From A Year Of Daily Writing

Blog by Rick2 comments

Today marks the 365th post of blogging/writing daily. Hold up. Sorry, I shouldn’t conflate the two – let me clarify.  I started writing daily in April of 2020 and wrote every day for six months. I’ve since laxed a bit on the daily writing, as I’ll occasionally write a few […]

Are You Ready to RUMMMMBBBBLEEEE?

Blog by Rick0 comments

I used to think that when someone finally gave me a chance, I’d be ready to step onto the big stage.  Play with the big dogs. Smash it out of the park with everyone watching. Foolishly, I’d quietly wait to be chosen, to wait until someone could see past the […]

Convention Tabling

Blog by Rick0 comments

In the world of comic conventions, there’s a lot of trust between vendors. We’ll ask someone we’ve never met, who just happens to be placed next to us in the aisle, to watch our tables if we leave to go to the restroom or grab something to eat. There’s a […]

Do You Have What You Need?

belonging by Rick0 comments

Do you feel equipped with all the knowledge and information in order to do your best work and make intelligent decisions?  Was it easy to acquire, or did you have to pull teeth, beg, remind, and coerce the information from others?  Do you make that information easy to acquire for […]

Compasses

Blog by Rick0 comments

More information is always helpful when trying to figure out where you’re going, and a compass is a great tool to get more information.  Compasses work to show you whether or not you’re moving in the correct cardinal direction. Did you want to go east? Great, north is that way, […]

The Void vs The Arena

Blog by Rick0 comments

Publishing your work can feel like shouting into the void. Thus, it’s tempting to mold yourself into something that you know will grab attention. “Let’s make it controversial.” “Sex sells, right?” “Well the new trend is X, so let’s try that.” Sure, that might work temporarily, but what happens when […]

Pit Stops on the Rainbow

Blog by Rick0 comments

What’s at the end of the rainbow for you? Money? Fame? Love? A gaping hole of always wanting more? The tricky thing with having an idealized goal in mind is that you’ll never know if you’ll achieve it until you do, as every other moment until then is less than. But […]

Hall Pass

Hall Pass

belonging by Rick0 comments

In high school, due to my somewhat extensive extracurricular activity list and sports involvement, I was often walking around school during class with a hall pass. I would often see the hall monitors, with their sunglasses and walkie-talkies, patrolling the halls.  And as your typical “stay-out-of-trouble-Valedictorian-club-president” type, I was always […]
