Cool tool: CruiseSheet.com

My friend Tynan built this very comprehensive cruise search engine called CruiseSheet.com We used it to find a last-minute deal on the cruise last week, and I’ve used the search engine to help me book 2 other cruises. Even if Tynan wasn’t my friend, I’d still promote this site. Great travel tool that not many people know about… https://cruisesheet.com/

Talking About Death Over Dinner

The last time you went to a dinner party you probably didn’t talk about death. But that’s the focus of conversation at a growing number of tables. It’s part of a national movement called “Death Over Dinner,” where important questions are discussed. Related: 2016 article in The Atlantic.

Interview with Nick Gray (me) from “The Top”

10-minute interview with me about Museum Hack. I’ve been a guest on about a dozen podcast interviews, and this one was one of my absolute favorites. Nathan asked me direct and specific business questions, he was prepared, professional, etc.
