Active Listening in Customer Interviews
A few years ago, I was interviewing a customer to uncover some problems our product was having. I was super green when it came to interviews at that time. My customer was chatting about their experience when my mind wandered down the rabbit hole because of something interesting they mentioned. By the time I snapped […]

Final Day in Jerusalem
I can’t believe this is our last day here. The time flew by and I had mixed emotions on leaving. As I was packing early this morning, all the things I have learned about the culture started coming back to me. Advertisements (on television, billboards, etc) didn’t include ‘vices’ such as drugs, smoking, drinking, sexual. […]

Tour Day 7: Western Wall Tunnels, St. Anne, Christian Quarter, Holy Sepulcher, Israel Museum, American Embassy
This morning we woke up and was sad as this was our last day of the tour itself. We have really enjoyed Israel and felt like there was so much to see still. Dewayne was not feeling well and many people were sweet enough to provide some medicine to keep him going. After a great […]

Tour Day 6: Temple Mount, Western Wall, Jerusalem Archeological Park, Jewish Quarter, Yad Vashem
This morning, Dewayne and I were exhausted from the spiritual attack the night before.

Tour Day 3: Mount Bental in Merom Golan, Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan, Arbel Cliffs
On day five of our tour, we started off the day at Mount Bental Lookout. This is a military base located near Merom Golan (Golan Heights). On the way there, our guide, Tito, explained that the land isn’t fertile due to the fact it is volcanic. Occasionally we saw piles of stones out in the […]

Tour Day 2: Boat Ride and Museum, Mount of Beatitudes, Capharnaum, Ein Gev Fish Restaurant, Yardinet
We started the day off with prayer at 6:30am with a majority of the group. It is Sabbath here in Israel. It started at sundown (around 6pm) yesterday and will go on till sundown today. What does this mean? It means breakfast will be simple (nothing cooked). I ate homemade granola with flax seeds, dates, […]
