Psalms 107:19-21
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
When we are hurt physically, emotionally, or spiritually/mentally, it’s tempting to give in to the bottomless pit of despair.

“What are your weaknesses?” is a very common interview question and according to my professional career coach, Johnny Roccia, it’s actually a terrible question recruiters ask.
Johnny was a hiring manager for ten years and he’s conducted thousands of interviews. Here’s what he had to say about this particular question.
“I hate that question. It’s a horrible, stupid question that nobody should ask. Only old school people that don’t know what they’re doing ask that question…because the answers are complete bullshit.” Continue reading How to Answer “What are Your Weaknesses?”
Oscar Mayer is looking for a Hotdogger to drive one of their Wienermobiles. I couldn’t resist this opportunity to apply as a joke and have some fun.
The position is for only a year but the perks include:
Oscar Mayer is looking for friendly college students, or recent grads, with an appetite for adventure. Email your resume to [email protected].
This is what I sent to them.
Continue reading I Applied to Oscar Mayer’s Wienermobile as a JokeI’ve got big news. I’ll be speaking for the Mises Institute at their Orlando event!
The event is on February 16, next month, at UCF from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Renowned Austrian economist Bob Murphy and Mises Institute president Jeff Deist will also be speaking.
We’ll discuss Trump’s state of the union address and the culture wars in America and address the economic problems we’re facing. Additionally, a libertarian solution for these problems will be applied.
I love coming to Mises events because you can have civil discussions without getting into a shouting match. Everyone who attends is educated and approachable and open-minded.
Another perk coming to Mises events is the low cost of attendance. This event in Orlando is free for student or recent grads but you just need to register here.
You can find out more information about the event here as well.
As promised, here is my redesigned website for Walkthrough which can be viewed here.
The original website looks like this.
I decided to create this project for Walkthrough because their landing page needed improvement. Every landing page is the face of the company and making it look attractive and easy-to-navigate will encourage more sales.
Future
For last week’s work project I redesigned a website for Walkthrough, a startup for real estate agents to find services like photographers.
Ideally, I wanted to learn how to properly build a website through HTML or CSS.
However, it’s unrealistic to learn a coding language in under a week so I used Wix to build a website.
Wix is user friendly and builds beautiful websites which is why I chose them.
I looked at another company website called VocaWorks for inspiration and took some design cues.
VocaWorks has a beautiful and colorful landing page versus Walkthrough which is very plain.
I’ll update my progress and post the finished website soon.
This past weekend I experienced a real winter and saw snow for the first time!
For reference, I lived and grew up in Florida my entire life so snow is almost never seen. And if you’ve also lived in the South your entire life you’ll need to know how to properly dress for a real winter.
I spent the weekend in Washington, DC for LibertyCon, a libertarian and economics conference, and the weather was a high of around 37 to 41 degrees and a low of thirty.
Here’s what you need to survive the cold.

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
It’s Scripture Sunday and that means another bible verse. Today, I decided on “strength” as the theme for this week.
In times of hopelessness, Isaiah 41:10 reminds us to have faith in the Lord and that He will give us strength. Whether you’ve lost someone dear to you or are fighting depression, remember that you’re not alone.

Yesterday I mentioned the importance of networking and why it should be utilized as often as possible.
LibertyCon is one of the biggest economics and libertarian conferences with important sponsors. These sponsors have booths at the conference which means many chances for networking.
Making meaningful connections can lead to job opportunities or internships.
So how does one network?
Here’s the great thing about LibertyCon and other economics conferences, you get the chance to have dinner with famous libertarians!
We’ve all heard that networking gets you far and it’s absolutely true. It’s an invaluable tool that should be used often.
