This morning on my radio show, I discussed the topic of forgiveness. It’s a tough subject, especially if you have been hurt. However, forgiveness is not for the person or situation being forgiven.

Each Monday morning, I host a show called Drive Time: Your Motivational Drive in the Morning on KNVC 95.1 FM.

Emotional intelligence, in short, is how you manage yourself and how you interact with others.

Business is kind of like a horse race. When you line them up at the starting line, the horses all look good. They are all fast, just some are faster than others. Some of them have better odds than the others. Nevada is a betting state, so I will ask you some betting questions.

Being a real patriot these days takes true grit, like the United States Marine Corps motto "Semper Fidelis," the latin translation of "always faithful."

Authentic patriotism just doesn't seem to fit the modern political narrative.
