When I was 11, I had the incredible opportunity to join him in the recording booth during one of his voice-overs for Bell South. I stuttered badly at the time, but he was incredibly kind and understanding. He took 30 minutes out of his day

This brings me right back to June of 2009, as the markets started to spoil and the derivative markets fells to shambles. A few hapless souls in Baltimore would be tasked with manning 2 standing 12 hour shifts for as many weeks as it would t

Get out. The same thing happened to me and my mental health has yet to recover. There is nothing you can do about it. This is the oligarchy of capitalism, the HR team, sorry the "Human Capital Management" team is only there to exe

I graduated in May of 2008 and only managed my way into the bowels of a large bank due to the fact I had interned there over the summer and spring. This big bank was allowed under state law to pay us "premium pay", it was 50% of w

Fun story - '94 there was a deodorant ad with Charles Barkley where he plays an "explorer". In the first two seconds of the commercial, you can hear the grinding of stone doors (think Indiana Jones). How did the jingle house
