Welcome!

Welcome to my new endeavor.

You may be wondering what is this thing? Well, here's the deal.

As a relatively young person involved in volunteerism who happens to be a man, I am constantly struck by the overwhelming majority of volunteers being two things: women, and let's call them more mature people. Yet I know of many young to middle aged adults, and many men, that have their heart in the right place but may just need some thing to get them to step up and get involved.

For many months I have thought long and hard about my own personal experiences, and just how I might step up myself and be a leader for others with similar interests and backgrounds: mainly middle-aged to young men with diverse  interests.

The question is, can I combine my experience volunteering with contacts with a diverse group of people to inspire them to volunteer to help something they care for doing something they like doing?

Well, this is what I have come up with, a sort of social club for men (professional association, gamers guild, brotherhood or lodge) in its still very early stages. My hope is that by organizing events geared towards this audience I can get them involved when they might normally shy away due to lack of  interest in the activity moreso than the cause.

Anyway, stay tuned and we shall see...

Do We Even Understand What A Billionaire Is?

In today's world, we marvel at billionaires, yet very few actually understand what it means. I know its a ridiculous number we cannot fathom, but the more I looked into it, the more it shocked me how much these people really are worth.  Among the general populace, making 'six-figures' or $100,000 is a benchmark of success and wealth. Millionaires are truly wealthy. But what is often misunderstood is how exponentially large adding another, let alone 3, or 6 a number becomes.  The wealthiest aren't just billionaires either, they are hundred billionaires. Elon Musk is worth 265 billion. That is 265 with 9 zeroes after it. 265,000,000,000. It would take someone making six-figures 2,650,000 years to amass that wealth with no expenses. 2.65 MILLION years. To reach Jeff Bezos' wealth would only take them 1.77 million years. Even someone who makes a million dollars a year (which is wealthier than a millionaire which is just a net worth not annual salary delineation) would ...

DEI Creates Opportunities, Doesn't Lower Requirements

Companies have been being attacked recently for DEI initiatives, such as boycotting, to force them to undo those efforts. These attacks are typically dog whistle coding to cover up discrimination against minorities including women and people of color. The narrative is typically that hiring standards are lowered to include a wider range of employees and that it is a form of reverse discrimination - disadvantaging one group (people that are one or more of white, male, and cisgender). But not only is this not the case, in fact, DEI initiatives are proven to strengthen companies' performance across many metrics - even financially. Someone recently brought up lowering standard for airline pilots as proof that DEI is a radical far left practice that supposedly in this case makes pilots less qualified and flying more dangerous in order to fulfill DEI quotas. A similar case has been made recently regarding the Secret Service and issues with at least one high-profile recent event that is - ...
