I landed at Lux Central (luxcoffee.com) and this place is absolutely marvelous. When I think of an ideal coffee shop, this place is the embodiment, the epitome, of what it should look like. From the people, to the food, to the atmosphere, to the table space, this place is perfect.

I'll be using this blog as a warm up place -- to get the writing juices flowing and to write in a free and pressure-free way. Everywhere else, I write for an audience or client. Here, I write for myself and I can be free about my honest opinions, faith, and feelings.
Today, my major objective is publishing an article on Entrepreneur's Handbook and finishing a rough draft of my next Inc. article. The last article (here) currently has 127,362 page views. That's in my top three. Fortune Magazine, Quartz, and MIT all shared it.

How can you create opportunities for others to succeed? I couldn't be more excited to find out.
