Stop Alienating Your Tribe
We live in a world of division. There are a lot of dividing lines in each of our lives. Some lines need to be drawn, but ones we don’t need to draw are those that divide us from others of like minds – our “tribe”, if you will. Let’s look at people looking to follow…
Little By Little Nobody Noticed
