Success is a Launch Point

Creating new inertia is possible, and it’s not just by working harder Article by Don Seaman | Photography by John Agnello Photography and Video A common trope of success is in a chess analogy, that someone who has more than their fair share of success is “they’re playing 3D chess and everyone else is playing checkers.”    Evocative visual.

For Ethan Fitzpatrick, Giving Back is Simply Being Human Article by Don Seaman | Photography by Ethan Fitzpatrick If you’ve never met Captain America, let me introduce him to you.    He’ll hate that I’m calling him that.

On Solid Ground

A Husband, A Wife, and a Reinvented Life Article by Don Seaman | Photography by John Agnello Photography and Video Trust is a many-faceted emotion. It’s a byproduct of faith, and a cousin of results. It’s a triangle that has no real beginning - you need to just jump right in, which is what Jennifer Wylie and Sean Anderson did when their professional lives simultaneously became unstable. It was time to replace that third triangle wall.   Yet they had trust and faith in themselves. Jennifer...
