					<description><![CDATA[A young man sent me an email looking for advice. He recently graduated from the “comfort blanket of college and chucked towards the open jaws of real life.&#8221; He was hoping to receive guidance for young people in his situation to &#8220;make the world outside not seem so threatening and overwhelming.&#8221; The first step is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing a new book. Or rather, I am redoing an old one. (I shared a little bit about that in&#160;this video.) I spent six days in a very old monastery overlooking the rolling hills of Wisconsin. The kitchen was dark and creepy, but the weather and&#160;views were spectacular. I made great progress on establishing [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Having lived in Wisconsin for two-and-a-half decades, the struggle is real.&#160; Being a Cubs and Bears fan while living behind the Cheddar Curtain is no picnic. I&#8217;ve spent the majority of my adult life suffocated by Brewers and Packers propaganda. Visiting Illinois — and especially Chicagoland — is like a breath of fresh air.

					<description><![CDATA[I take a walk almost every day, usually taking the same route. This is intentional. I set my inner GPS, and, free from thinking about where I&#8217;m going, my mind is allowed to wander in whatever direction it chooses.&#160; The other day, I tried an experiment. I decided to walk the same path, but in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I pride myself on my imagination. I&#8217;ve always been a daydreamer. I can get so immersed in my imagination that I&#8217;ve missed exits on the interstate more than a few times. (Just ask my wife.) Plus, I&#8217;m an artist.&#160;My paintings&#160;feature macarons as spaceships, elk wearing bathrobes, and war planes dropping gummy bears from the sky. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Over twenty years ago, I wrote my first book, titled &#8220;Escape Adulthood: 8 Secrets of Childhood for the Stressed-Out Grown-Up.&#8221; Can I tell you a secret? The secret to success and happiness is not a secret. The recipe is really just hard advice [&#8230;]]]></description>

My studio serves many purposes – it’s my favorite place to sketch, brainstorm, write, paint, and design cool things – but basically, it&#8217;s where I go to slow down, get silent, and listen to [&#8230;]]]></description>
