Deathbed Interviews, The Five Regrets of Life & Work From Anywhere -


A study from 2013.  Australian nurse interviews.

So, I found this article from 2013 - The top five regrets of the Dying.  

#1 - "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realize until they no longer have it."

Now, today, view this thought through the post-fear-of-covid, work-from-anywhere, lens.
  • 45-minute commutes
  • empty face-to-face meetings
  • irrelevant and ineffective managers
  • 2% raises after 'check-box' evaluations...
In her work as a palliative care nurse, Bronnie Ware encountered the dying epiphanies of patients in their final days. 

The most common regrets she observed are as follows:

Copiers & Bourbon - Whiskey for the Ages Show


Okay, my friends - first The Greg Walters Show interviewed wine experts in France and Oklahoma, Edwin and Kevin.  We talked wine, bourbon, copiers, managed print services, and wine...and bourbon.

Then, Brian, the Ladies, and I talked for almost 3 hours about the copier industry, his journey from output to Bourbon, and lessons learned from each niche.

That wasn't enough -

I was most fortunate to be invited to share my bourbon adventure as it stands today, taste great pours with Brian, Hannah, and Elora and talk more about bourbon and #copiers.

The AI Surge: A Dot-Com Déjà Vu or the Dawn of a Tech Utopia?


In the high-stakes world of technology stocks, the potent combination of artificial intelligence hype and looming Federal Reserve decisions is stirring a dynamic debate among investors - are we witnessing a replay of the dot-com bust or the dawn of a sustained rally?

Greg's Words

There is so much activity in the technology realm, it may be difficult to concentrate on one issue.  

Follow the money.

There may be a wave of new hardware just over the horizon as AI-compliant/optimized chips hit the market.

Imagine every, single one of today's computing devices needing to be replaced to handle artificial intelligence.  The market is breathtaking.
