Healthy Ways to Cook Chicken 07/23/2014  /  PATRICIO R AYCINENA MD We all know chicken is an extremely nutritious and tasteful addition to our daily diet. However, the way you cook it is also a significant determinant of its  health benefits . Read ahead to avoid fouling up the fowl! Don’t you just love munching on those deep fried chicken wings? Head-over-heels crazy about those richly breaded chicken portions? Well as much as these chicken preparations might make you drool, they do you more harm than good, merely on account of the way they are cooked. Yes, no matter how nutritious, fiber rich and protein laden chicken is, if not cooked the healthy way, all you get is the taste as the chicken is almost completely stripped of its health benefits and such preparations introduce more fats and cholesterol into your system, most of which does not belong to the beneficial category. So, what measures can you adopt in order to dish out healthy chicken recipes on...

Are Entrepreneurs Born or Built? Or Both?

Are Entrepreneurs Born or Built? Or Both? Are Entrepreneurs Born or Built? Or Both? By Howard Tullman I was part of a recent Oxford-style debate in Chicago where the proposition under consideration was that “Entrepreneurs are born, not trained.” It was the classic nature versus nurture type of heated argument between two pairs of seasoned senior executives and serial entrepreneurs. And truth be told, I think that each of the advocates in the debate except maybe my debate partner,  Amy Wilkinson , could have easily argued in favor of or against either side of the proposition. Amy herself was pretty hardcore on our side of the argument (we were the “built” team) and she had some pretty strong ammunition as well based on her most recent research in the field.

Social media plays a huge role in today’s culture Social media plays a huge role in today’s culture. If you don’t have a social media presence, start one today. If you have just a few hundred likes or followers, you will benefit from growing that social media footprint. Think about it, would you rather buy a car from a reputable small business that has a good social media following, or would you rather buy from a new small business that has no sort of online presence? It all comes down to accountability. The more activity online is more peace of mind for a potential client. When they see great reviews, pictures and lots of followers, they know that other people have had a great experience with that reputable small business. The new small business without any social media? It could be a great company with great products, but how does a consumer know that? It’s daunting to start but it’s worth it. Create an online presence, your business will benefit. I can help you start!  ...
