It’s Not About the Miles
on
I’ve been a consistent runner over the past 20 years. It’s done so much for me besides just logging miles. It’s brought me joy. It’s brought good health. I’ve seen a lot of places. I’ve competed and pushed my limits. I’ve built many relationships where running was the “thing” which brought us together, and then…

I’d like to think I’m pretty “Zen.” I have done a pretty good job of quieting my inner critic, that voice in our head that can sometimes bark out like an angry drill sergeant. “Jarvis, what the hell?

“Should I stay, or should I go?” There is perhaps no question asked more often by tenants. There may be a need to increase headcount, upgrade the current layout or in some cases, reduce the footprint to provide greater efficiency and productivity for the organization. In each instance though, the number one message for tenants is that they have options,…

As corporate real estate advisors, we help businesses make the best possible real estate decisions they can and, for some companies, purchasing commercial real estate in lieu of leasing makes a lot of sense. For those businesses, it’s not only important to identify the right property, but to understand all of the financing options available to them so they can…

Every year I try to schedule at least one trip into wilderness. I think it is good for the soul, and a refreshing break from the frantic pace of daily life, a digital detox. Last month I flew to Lander, Wyoming, for another NOLS Alumni trip, this time up Wyoming’s tallest mountain, Gannett Peak. Before I left, one of my…
