Announcing My 2025 Goals
I love New Year’s Resolutions, fresh starts, resets, lists, and especially To-Do Lists. I like writing things down (or Blogging about them, same dif’) because it helps me remember.

Full disclosure (and why I call this the Work-Life Imbalance) …I work for Audacy. I create and sell Sports Partnerships.

The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, Part 1
Recently, Apple Music and Rolling Stone published their list of greatest-albums-of-all-time lists. I love lists like this.

These lists are mostly click bait.… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, Part 1”
