The Beginner's Guide to BarefootLunch.com

Thank you for browsing through BarefootLunch.com. Let me show you around so that you can easily find the information you need to get the results you want.

The first thing you need to know is that although my work covers a broad range of topics like leadership, recruitment, philosophy, music, humanism, health, and the arts, the central thread that ties it all together is arête — (Greek: ἀρετή), in its basic sense, means "excellence" of any kind: the act of living up to one's full potential. You can think of all the resources here helping you to answer the quesiton, "How can you live up to your full potential?” Everything revolves around that question

The second thing you need to know is that there are three places where you can get this information.

  1. Musings - This is the dynamic portion of the website where you can find what’s on the front of my mind. In my weekly emails, I share lessons I learn through my reading and research on arête

  2. Podcasts - This is where you can hear me speak with some of the most brilliant individuals, review products, and muse about important topics.

  3. Sweet Success- My book Sweet Success is the most comprehensive guide on how you can start making changes in your life. I do not believe you will find a more actionable book on the subject of arête. Download the first chapters for free.

Check out those links and spend a little time on BarefootLunch.com. There are hundreds of articles and dozens of resources for your use. I'm confident that you'll find something helpful and interesting.

Wishing you continued success!
