The Freedoms in Doing Things right

The Freedoms in Doing Things right

Sitting with my wife at our kid's basketball game thinking about how doing the right thing is amazing. Freedom not to hide. Freedom to ask. Freedom to grow. Boys night out? Any time, because my wife trusts me. Girls night out? Any time, because I trust her. Not just...

Win Some, Lose Some

Reflecting on the other day that was equally parts amazing and sucky. 16 hour day. Woke up at 5:30 am. Worked until kids woke up around 7:30 am. Hung out with them for an hour before they went to school. Worked straight through until kids got out early today around...

Sad Time For Kids

This is disheartening to read as a parent. We're raising our kids to be conditioned into compliance. "I'm sorry for being loud in the lunchroom." Not specifically because it's my 7, among the softest kids you'll ever meet, that wrote it. "Dad, I wasn't even being...

Teaching Kids Entrepreneurship

Proud of my kids. Teaching them to flip on eBay. This is round two. First round they invested about $75 for about $1k profit. Still playing around. For consistency in them selling (and also not spending all day in a thrift store), been focusing on collectible toys....

Social Media Restraint

Social Media Restraint

Someone I respect recently made a post I disagree with. Even their own historical posts contradict what they said. Know what I did about it? Nothing. Nothing at all. And we’ll still be friends. Arguing on social media is more about virtue signaling than actual...
