Getting Religion – I am not formally religious in any particular respect. I was born Jewish and remain Jewish for sure; however, I regard it as my duty to study and learn about as many religions as possible. This is part of my Renaissance Man Project, part of the The Intellectual Project and part of the Doing Good Bruce Project. […]
Mentoring – I have mentored a lot of people in my life. Some are family members. Others include almost-grown kids whose parents would like someone to show their child a good path. I have mentored many people throughout my legal and business careers as well. I am so proud of the amazing achievements of my mentees. […]
The Sweetie Pig Foundation– this is a (small) family foundation that we set up to ‘spread joy and happiness in the world.’ I am the Vice President and my wife is the President. We contribute money every year and back non-profits we find inspiring.
Chess – I was a chess star as a kid – a major player on the Scarsdale High School Chess Team! At the time I was too young to know it was social suicide and maybe the reason I never got a date in high school. But I was rated and quite good at it. […]
A Man’s Man – this is a delicate subject as I don’t want to be thought of like a frat boy. But on the other hand I like a fine scotch, a cigar, and having male friends to hang out with and, well, be with the guys. At the same time I want to be […]
Renaissance Man – I always found this to be an inspiring concept. Picture a gentleman in his (study?) with a beard – I don’t have a beard though – who is proficient at everything that spices up life. The various definitions of a Renaissance Man include everything from poetry, to music, to dancing, to horseback riding, […]
My Longevity Hobby – Like many millennials, I am making longevity a hobby. I read everything I can about it. There is a combination of some amazing breakthroughs with a heavy dose of bullsh*t surrounding it, so it is hard to discern what is real and what is hype, or worse. So far, I have […]
Meditation – you probably think I am going to espouse meditation here — where you take twenty minutes in the morning and maybe in the evening too, and meditate and stuff. But after trying it, I find it is not for me. I just don’t like to spend the time on it and it is at […]
Running – I have run for years. I am guessing I started in high school and then for another 50-ish years. I got lucky that my body parts didn’t break down. Running is usually painful but once in a while you get to experience a true runner’s high. It only happened a few times over […]
Basketball – As a kid I wanted to be a professional basketball player more than anything! I played basketball probably more than 50 hours a week. School, sleep, and life were all afterthoughts. Of course this didn’t work out, but it was all I cared about as a kid. If you told me that a […]
