I hate to say “I told you so” but….I told you so….
WatchMy interview on Bloomberg today. I was pretty scared. James calmed my nerves on the ride up. The best part of the whole experience was that immediately after this, we headed over to Baron Capital, my old job. Giving Ron a huge hug was the highlight of my week. Both offices (Bloomberg and Baron) are unbelieveable to experience.

GoaG Rachelle seems to think so, and gets the kicker:
Rachelle Hruska, who runs the highly trafficked guestofaguest Web site, says the opening of the elevated High Line (see left) has given much-needed character to this area she dismissed until recent months — but now frequents because, “It doesn’t feel so gross and cheesy.”
“If you get the idea out of your head that...

What about: “Our God is an Awesome god he reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love our god is an awesome god.”
The entire GofG mobile belted that out on the west side highway last weekend, complete with the hand motions.

“Before you can grow up, you must fall in love 3 times.
Once you must fall in love with your best friend, ruining your friendship forever. This will teach you who your true friends are, and the fine line between friendship and more.
Once you must fall in love with someone you believe to be perfect. You will learn that no one is perfect, and that you should never be treated as any less...

"I am the absolute center of the universe."
“….The point here is that I think this is one part of what teaching me how to think is really supposed to mean. To be just a little less arrogant. To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded. I have learned this the hard way,...

My BlackBook Interview →
The best part about this is it was done by Cayte Grieve. She is an incredibly smart (and beautiful) member of the BlackBook staff. We met for dinner over a year ago at Boqueria in Flatiron. It was a true blind girl date. Who would have thought she would be interviewing me many months later? I can’t wait to see where she goes.
