Imaging that you are in the latest stages of life and lying still on your deathbed - essentially waiting for the last breath. Your fight is over and the joy of life is nothing but a memory. You get to come back to the present for 1 day. What do you do?

Cindy Whitehead – Amazing
5 Things I love about Cindy Whitehead: She's a pink wearing, pharmaceutical mastermind - Leading and selling two companies - notably Sprout, the producer of the "female viagra" drug Addyi, for over a BILLION DOLLARS.

A letter to a Movie Star
I wrote this letter to a rising star in the film industry. No matter what success or failure comes his way, there was something that I really needed him to know. Pat, Your trailer is amazing.
