My first ever guest blog! Jamie Berger has been a friend of mine since I met him at Columbia when we were both going to college there. Awesome dude. Loved him then. Love him now. And now I think he is even more awesome because he has started an amazing non-profit called The Thrive Project. [...]

Yesterday, I posted a long piece on the issues that I have with the ladies event. I linked to two posts by Daniel Negreanu on the other side of the issue as I think that it is important to hear out both sides of anything. I truly believe that healthy, rational debate can only be [...]
