My Lifestyle

March 21, 2017March 23, 2017 Jo Tango

The word “lifestyle” is used in a few ways. It sometimes is a euphemism to articulate a high-spend consumption rate. For me, I’m using it to write about what I do to strive for optimum productivity. I’m no Tom Brady, of course. But, I too believe that physical and mental preparation is required to do

Hawaiian Smoothies

November 30, 2016November 30, 2016 Jo Tango

One of the things I love doing is meeting with college students or recent graduates about life advice and career management topics. I cannot meet with everyone, but do the best that I can.
