This week’s Self Made Man?Black Milk Clothing founder James Lillis?is a young self-starter who differs from many of the other young self-starters we’ve featured here. For one thing, he isn’t a tech or social media professional, and he didn’t attend (or drop out of) an Ivy League school. James Lillis is a clothing designer, which

Sometimes change is a good thing. Not always, maybe not very often, and probably as little as possible, but it can be a good thing. Sometimes you want things to say exactly as they are until the end of time, whether it has to do with children and the magic of a parent-child relationship where

This week’s Awesome Man is a guy who really should have been inducted a long time ago: MMA/kickboxing legend and former UFC champion Bas Rutten. If you’ve been a UFC fan since the beginning, you’ve probably seen him kick a lot of dudes in the liver, and if you were a Pride fan, you probably

I’m sure you’ve noticed that most of the Self Made Men I’ve profiled so far have been self-employed; entrepreneurship, after all, doesn’t really lend itself to punching a clock and taking orders. This week’s Self Made Man, former WWE writer Court Bauer, is unique in that he started his own company?Major League Wrestling?and only worked

Extra pounds just have a way of creeping up on your body, don?t they? You eat a few extra Doritos one here, an extra scoop of Buffalo Bills Brownie Blitz there and, before you know it, you?ve got three rolls of fat you didn?t have six months prior. What if you could burn an extra

This week’s selection for Awesome Men Throughout History is an unusual one, because Tarheel Slim was a journeyman blues musician who can’t even be called a one-hit-wonder, and he doesn’t have the huge library of recordings that a lot of his better-known contemporaries have. There’s not much information about his life floating around, either. But

When I looked at the Top Five Destinations of Cincinnati, I started to wonder about a couple destinations that seemed relatively close by. Then, I looked at a map and realized that Cincinnati and Louisville are less than 100 miles apart. I thought to myself, heck, I could include some destinations in Louisville while exploring

Like most of you, I have a lot of friends whose Facebook status updates are pretty much just a ticker tape of their Spotify playlists at this point (also, a lot of my friends listen to way too much Lady Gaga). But even though I see those updates all the time, I had no idea

Be honest: How many hours a week do you spend on Facebook and Twitter a week? Do you waste several hours each week commenting on your friend?s photos from Vegas and/or posting links to YouTube videos of old Nickelodeon cartoons? If so, chances are you?re not getting enough exercise as you could be. According to

I think I’ve mentioned my appreciation for Marc Maron’s WTF podcast in this column before, but this week marks the first time it’s introduced me to an Awesome Man Throughout History candidate. Maron is a big comedy history nerd, and his interview with Gilbert Gottfried is a testament to that; they spend more than a

I have no clue if Nicole Kidman has had plastic surgery or not. It reminds me of steroids in baseball. Yes, there were a lot of players that used, but showing me pictures of a skinny 18-year-old and comparing it to a muscle-bound 28-year-old doesn?t make certain proof for me. If only the ripped players
