A Superhero are You

The Justice League of America, do you remember them?
They were the heroes of my childhood… I’d get up Saturday Morning and turn zombie as I became consumed in the adventures of the Green Lantern, Wonder Twins, and Flash.  The beginnings of all of our blockbuster movies of today were a tad shy of the graphic [...]

To Serve or Not to Serve… Not “Can” you, “Will” you?

Actions speak louder than words…  don’t tell me what you believe, show me.
This concept is at heart of our conversation last night.  What if the Renown philosophy became the cultural norm?  What if we set the pace, led the way, inspired a movement for people to take action to influence our community?  What if we [...]

Shock, Crazy and Quirky

 
I was watching football this weekend and somehow I was conscious of the advertisements.  This is not something I’ve never noticed before, just particularly obvious.

Millions of dollars, thousands of people and [...]

Power of Community: What You Can Do

We had an awesome night with our guests, Mark Stearns and Ps. Alex from Lincoln Village.  The stories and opportunities to make a difference in peoples lives were so inspirational.
All of us have the potential to influence those around me, all we have to do is choose to do so.
Mark Stearns shared his journey of growing up [...]
