In simple terms, a "person of leisure" or “p.o.l.” is someone who isn’t defined by their 9 to 5, someone who may not even work a 9 to 5 (aka an entrepreneur), someone who lives life to the fullest and works to live (not lives to work). He or she is a person who consistently makes time to have fun, enjoy life and appreciate even the most simplest of life's pleasures! Sound interesting? Want to put the wheels in motion and become a p.o.l. yourself? Well you can - you need only have a desire to hav …

In Southern California, we’ve developed a dangerous tolerance for assuming that having thousands of people living on the streets is acceptable. This is an embarrassing and shameful environment which has caused Los Angeles to become the capitol of homelessness in America. The reality is that more than enough food, housing, …
