For the past week, I have been getting calls and emails from guys who want more out of life rather than the 8-6, Mon-Fri, work cycle; I could detect frustration and hopelessness in their voice viz-a-viz the emails.

These executives have been rejected by the […]
Mixing with great minds is the best investment I have done to myself since my adult life; I have sometimes asked myself what my life could have been without these relationships.
