Blind loyalty has to be without a doubt one of the most self-sabotaging and detrimental behaviors currently running rampant through our people like a pandemic far deadlier and inevitably more contagious than Covid-19.

When I write these blogs, I like to imagine myself akin to Carrie Bradshaw a la Sex and the City, but I probably more accurately resemble Oscar the Grouch, clacking annoyingly away at my keyboard from the trash can that is my life. I’m dumped on. A lot. At work, at home, on the mats, […]
