		<title>Before You Sign, Read The Contract. Always Read The Contract.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;People change. Circumstances change. Legal documents don’t change.&#8221; &#8212; Brent Beshore, CEO of AdVentures At my first job out of college, I was told that I would get health care. Dental, medical &#8212; the usual. This sounded good to me, even though I didn&#8217;t know what a co-pay was, or a deductible, or anything else (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>At Least My Mother Isn&#8217;t *That* Embarrassing.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve gotten dozens of excellent responses to my Puta Grande talk. But my favorite was passed along to me from a cousin on the west coast. She sent the video to her friend, a mother of four, and that mom emailed back to say, Oh, this is nothing. When our family picks up someone at (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>Things That Comfort Me When Every Fucking Thing Goes Wrong: The Monastery That Kept Us Dry.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things tend to go wrong. This is a series of blog posts about the things I think about during those moments when the wrong things happen. In 2008, I studied abroad in Spain. It wasn&#8217;t necessarily the most challenging academic experience of my life. The school where I took classes had palm trees on campus. (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>I Cannot Codify Entrepreneurship, And Neither Can You, And Here&#8217;s Why.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a point not all that long ago when I was pretty sure I could codify entrepreneurship. I&#8217;d heard plenty of stories, and talked to plenty of entrepreneurs, and I was seeing a lot of the same themes repeat. I thought that if I could just ID specific points along the way, I could (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>This Research Is Really Interesting. The Problem Is, It&#8217;s Also Really Old.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The PhD with whom I share an office wall at RJI just published a cool study on how readers react when they stumble across news. In it, she makes a number of really interesting points about serendipity and the news. And before I go any further, I want to say this: Many of the points (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>The Time MLK Day Changed My Life.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this is the story about how back in 2004, something happened on Martin Luther King Day that changed my life. Actually, it wasn&#8217;t exactly MLK Day. It was the Friday before. Every year, my synagogue in D.C. holds a big interfaith service. Religious leaders from across the city come, and choirs sing, and there&#8217;s (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>The Thing I Really Wanted During The Days in Biloxi In Which My Diet Was 84 Percent Tuna Fish.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back on Aug. 1, 2010, I officially launched Stry. I was a month into my three-month stay in Biloxi. I wasn&#8217;t making any money, and I wasn&#8217;t really sure what was going to happen to me. That night, I wrote down this thought about my future. I&#8217;m sharing it here on the Interwebs for the (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you missed Part I of &#8220;What the Hell Do I Do Now With Stry?&#8221;, you might want to read that first. So the question for me now is, With what I know right now, what the hell do I really want to do with Stry? Financially, I&#8217;m alright. I have +/-$45,000 left to spend (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>What the Hell Do I Do Now With Stry? (Part I)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is Part I of II. Skip ahead to Part II if you&#8217;d like using this very link. 18 months ago, I was working at a TV station in San Antonio. I saw that journalism was changing, and I knew I wasn&#8217;t a part of the conversation. Every time I saw an interview with a (&#8230;)]]></description>

		<title>The Puta Grande Story, Told Live.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in December, I went out to Phoenix for NewsFoo, a conference for 150 of the brightest minds in news. I&#8217;m not sure why I was invited; my guess is that I was there to keep the group&#8217;s average IQ from skewing too high. Regardless: I was there, and at the conference, I got to (&#8230;)]]></description>
