Married to a woman from Seattle (who I met in Ohio) with two]]></description>

		<title>Ten Freedoms of The Entreprenuer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey guys&#8230;
It&#8217;s been almost three years since I posted this about Strategic Coach. I got such great feedback on my &#8220;Entrepreneurial Time System&#8221; blog post that I thought I would take a minute to update you on how things are going.

		<title>The wheels on the bike go ‘round and ‘round&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been riding my bike a lot lately.
So much so that you could probably call me a bike-fanatic. I am to the point where I am cycling up to 20 miles a day.
Why do I tell you this?
Well, for a couple reasons.
Since I am interested in biking, I signed up for some websites where]]></description>

		<title>Did you watch the Superbowl?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did, but not for the same reason most people do&#8230;
You see, the Superbowl is the most expensive media buy of the year.
So even though I am not much of a football fan, as a direct marketer I

		<description><![CDATA[I have an important favor to ask of you for the holidays.
My friend Ernie spends each December begging, borrowing, and stealing to raise money to bring active military personnel (who can&#8217;t afford tickets) home for the holidays, to be with their families.
Whether you agree with the &#8220;war&#8221; or not, I think we can all agree]]></description>
