You probably don’t know Kathy Warren. You might know someone “named” Kathy Warren, because according to Facebook there’s a ton of Kathy Warrens out there.

I didn’t sign up for this, I said to myself. She stood in front of me, tears running down her cheeks, falling from her pretty face and landing on my shoes. And then she put her arms around me and sobbed into my shoulder. She just kept saying “why, why, why?” A woman’s tears are [...]
What if I told you that I have the key to your success, both personally and professionally, would you listen?

Tony, how many crunches do I need to do everyday to get six pack abs? A. Crunches aren’t the key to six pack abs. You’ve already got six pack abs. They’re [...]
