Tonight I Pray and Run for Boston

“And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”  ~Hebrews 12:1 Later today, the local Community Running Group I started last year will gather for its weekly run. It will be our first gathering since the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Tonight, I will run with a heavy heart. Tonight, I will run [...]

Lesson In Leadership: Just Start

A little over two years ago I took up the sport of running.  I’ve written a few posts about this over that period and looking back, it’s clear to me that the biggest take-away for me is this: just start! It sounds so simple but it’s incredibly rewarding. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it [...]

TCH BookClub Conversation: Back to the Drawing Board

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to give you a quick update on the TCH BookClub Conversation we’ve been talking about for the past few weeks. We’ve heard back from Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly,  and he’s unable to join us for a conversation. I’m extremely disappointed by this news and, [...]

What We Think vs. What’s Ideal vs. Reality

There’s a video on the “Wealth Inequality in America” making the rounds on YouTube. It’s actually gone viral with more than 2.9 million views. As is often the case, people will have differing opinions on the content. I’m not going to debate the content on this specific video – and yes, I tend to agree [...]

On Bullying with Shane Koyczan

It’s happening as we speak. Somewhere, someone is being bullied. We can do something about it. Canadian spoken word poet Shane Koyczan has released the following video to help confront the issue of bullying in schools. Well worth the 7 minutes you’ll spend watching. Be well and make it a great day! Marc Vaillancourt @bassclefmusic

Time To Chart a New Course

It’s time to find a new normal. It’s time to commit to a different way of doing things. What we are doing today is not working anymore. No, I did not get up on the wrong side of the bed today, but I did get up at 4:30am and that may be part of it [...]

On Life

I came across this quote from John Lennon this morning.  I thought it was a great follow-up to my conversation with Jonathan Mead earlier this week. Be well and make it a great day! Marc Vaillancourt @bassclefmusic

Hooray For My Friend Andy Traub

Today is a big day for my friend Andy Traub and I want to take this opportunity to congratulate him! Andy’s mission in life is simple, he wants to empower you to take action. And today, he’s doing just that with the release of his first book titled Early To Rise (affiliate link). I highly [...]

Life Over Coffee: A New Series? A New Project?

Almost three years ago, the idea for The Conversation Hub came to me. It took a few months for some of the details to come together, but the idea came without notice, without much fanfare. Next week, I’ll be posting episode #132 – not bad for an idea/concept that came out of nowhere. The same [...]

Were Did We Go Wrong

I’m not sure how it happen and why it happened, but it did happen. What happened you ask? In my opinion it’s very simple … at some point in the past 236 years, we – the citizens of this great nation – forgot how to engage in civil conversations when it comes to the “hot [...]
