Out Of Control Government Agencies, Will The Court Help?

April 5, 2022

Government agencies, run by thousands of unelected, unaccountable and mostly unreachable bureaucrats, increasingly affect nearly every aspect of American life. We are forced to comply with burdensome IRS requirements. Businesses struggle under onerous EPA rules. Most recently, we've seen heavy-handed vaccine mandates imposed by OSHA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS.) And that is just the tip...

Book Review And Author Matthew Kelly: The Messiness Of Life Can Prevent Us From Focusing On Those Things That Lead To A Good Life

March 31, 2022

My relationship with New York Times best-selling author and speaker Matthew Kelly dates back to 2004 when another New York Times, best-selling author and friend Patrick Lencioni, brought him to my attention as a potential speaker for the Diocese of Oakland’s Catholics@Work (C@W) Speaker Series. Despite Kelly's very busy schedule, we were able to bring this much-in-demand Catholic evangelist to...

New Supreme Court Justice- The Court Is Not “the Little Congress”

February 16, 2022

President Biden has vowed to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court in order to achieve more diversity among the Justices. He wants the Court to represent all Americans, and of course he wants a Justice who will be open to his political agenda. While there is certainly nothing wrong with diversity, the Supreme Court should not be thought of...

Family offices provide a wide range of services tailored to meet the needs of high-net-worth individuals, many of whom were wealth...

Supreme Court Opens Pandora’s Box On Vaccine Mandates

January 21, 2022

The Supreme Court has rebuffed, for now, the government's OSHA vaccine mandate that would have affected 80 million American workers. While that was good news, the Court unfortunately failed to address some of the biggest problems with that mandate, and a second case decided the same day, Biden v. Missouri, approved a different mandate that was imposed by the Department...
