Two guys are retiring. One guy got conference room cake and another guy gets a whole party.  When I leave this company I want the party and there has to be 100 people there.

I share a story today about how (waaay) back in the day when I started working in Corporate America I overheard a conversation between two guys mad at young punks (aka me) coming in and getting high salaries and decent jobs.  Dude needed to take control of his life instead of letting it pass him by.

This is a follow up to the a podcast I did about a week ago titled: "The Problems We Choose." If you haven't already, take a listen to that one. I describe a situation at the laundromat where this lady was super upset at another person even though the problems she was experiencing were all her fault.   After I recorded the original podcast, I ran into a similar situation, this time involving me. I thought it was interesting since I just recored the Problems We Choose podcast, and here I am experiencing the exact thing I was talking about. So, I decided to do a follow up.  Snowball.nyc/podcasts

Often in life we choose problems without really knowing. We get stuck in situations that are frustrating, problematic, or simply just not ideal. Sometimes we think this is how it is and the way it is.

I talk about what you can do and how you can frame experiences for a better outcome.
