A History of Trying Not to Be Bad
According to Socrates – ancient philosopher and recurring figure in Plato’s works – when someone does something wrong, the dispute is never really about whether or not it was wrong. What we quibble over is whether there are mitigating circumstances to justify it. Face it. For a wide range of actions, deciding right or wrong, good or bad, is an easy call. Shoot the person behind you in a movie theater for talking too loudly (a completely real incident)? Bad. Help a pregnant woman carry groceries? … [Read more...] about A History of Trying Not to Be Bad
Olsen’s Grain Founded on Being Better than Good Enough
Anyone who has not heard where the phrase, “Good enough, just isn’t,” must not have listened to a radio commercial in Northern Arizona for a long, long time.

Higher Paid Workers with Those Fries?
Public pressure for an increased minimum wage advanced last month, with a lawsuit filed in Maricopa County April 14 on behalf of the Flagstaff Living Wage Coalition and a nationwide Fight for $15 rally held April 15 at McDonald’s and other businesses in 230 larger cities. The lawsuit contests a 2013 law passed by the Arizona Legislature giving only the state the right to regulate employee compensation and benefits.

Full Disclosure: I really hate roller coaster … [Read more...] about The Entrepreneur Rollercoaster: Defining Your Ticket to Ride
