GOT: Season 8 Notes and Predictions 2 (Spoilers)

April 30, 2019 by Joe Gray in TV Reviews

Episode three was awesome! The battle at Winterfell is over and there were some surprises for sure. A few main characters are dead and I predicted one of them (Theon), which was pretty obvious, but still. Jorah Mulmont and Lyanna Mulmont are dead. The old red lady is dead after playing a major role in defending the living. Jon and Daenerys still need to get their shit figured out and after all the commotion it looks like most of the main characters that we care about are still alive, conveniently enough. Kind of miraculous that so many survived.

GOT Season 8 Notes and Predictions (Spoilers)

April 23, 2019 by Joe Gray in TV Reviews

After seeing episode two of season 8 I thought I might write down my ideas about what might happen by the end of the show and episode three, more specifically. All the characters are back together at Winterfell and Cersei is held up in King's Landing on a throne she doesn't deserve. Essentially it is a reversal of the situation that led to the Targaryen's losing the throne. Now, Cersei is the Mad King, but she will probably not be killed by her hand. Then again, maybe she will...

Book Review: The Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

April 01, 2019 by Joe Gray in Book Review

This book is the perfect accompaniment to the author's previous release "Extreme Ownership".  In "Extreme Ownership" Jocko Willink and Leif Babin make the case that for leaders to succeed they must take responsibility for everything in their world and while that is an extremely important and difficult lesson to learn, there was more to the story. That is where their new book, "The Dichotomy of Leadership", comes in. In "The Dichotomy of Leadership" the authors dissect real-world situations, both in the military and in business, that illuminate the balancing act that all leaders face. When a leader starts to slide too far to one end of the seesaw they risk falling off the ride. This book is for those that want to continue the fight and lead their teams toward victory.
