I have the distinct privilege of coaching Jamie Slingerland the Founder and President of J & R Photo. Jamie is an incredible businessman as well as an awesome dad, husband and faithful friend to many.
The conventional methods of a client/coach interaction are totally obsolete when it comes to coaching Jamie. We tried numerous times to talk over the phone, meet at Pinewood Social, a trendy local restaurant and even video conference. Nothing seemed to hold Jamie’s attention like the great outdoors. These past 6 months have been an absolute blast. I will have to admit, it's been very productive. Recently, we've held our coaching sessions on Old Hickory Lake, Golf Club of Tennessee, Centennial Park, next door to the Parthenon, and various other outdoor venues. I’ll just have to be totally honest here; I love getting paid to visit each and every one of these places. But let me also speak up and say that these activities engage Jamie in a way that the traditional methods failed.

However, we have nothing for Thursday. I don't even like Thursdays. It's really just a 24 hour delay for Fabulous Friday. It's not even positioned well. It's out of balance, not in the middle, not on either end, it's really off centered. No one looks forward to Thursday.
I vote we work 10 hours a day for 4 days and eliminate Thursdays all together. Take it off the calendar completely and we can even save an additional 52 days a year. Based on this new calendar we will all increase our life expectancy.
