Some of those people will be eliminated, while others will skyrocket thr...
Why Move?
Indeed a handful of my contemporaries this year alone are threatening to become my neighbors in Paris, lulled into the reverie of awakening each morning in Paris (or Florence or Berlin or London or…or..or..). Most want to continue to work – and with the Internet this is more possible than it has even been; others are considering a job offer that would plunk them down i...
I remember the first time I started to have doubts about my career path. It was 2001 and I was living in New York City, working as a mergers and acquisitions analyst in a respected multinational firm. By all accounts, I had it made.

If I've learned anything over the course of my 20-plus year corporate career, it is that the willingness to take risks and the ability to connect the dots are inextricably intertwined. Playing it safe may have been the way when people stayed at the same company for 30 years, but in an age where the median tenure is less than five years, you have a fairly finite period of time to make enough...
The Clays of Louisville are an old Kentucky family. Not rich, maybe, like the folks who play pool in the Pendennis Club and chew mint leaves on the veranda at Churchill Downs. But the Clays have been there for six generations—ever since their ancestors worked as slaves on the plantation of Cassius Marcellus Clay, who was Lincoln's Minister to Russia. They like the name, and they like ...
