Gratitude for Freedom of Time
It’s a funny thing often being the only dad at my kids’ field trips. One of my proudest accomplishments is securing freedom of time. I’ve never missed any of my kids sports games. I take them to every practice. And I have the opportunity to support their field trips....
They call me “soul whisperer…” or something like that
Ha, but for real, grateful to support those that support me. In 2021, doubled revenue and went from 15 team members to 60 in nine months. At each moment of growth over the years I re-evaluate who does what within the company, what their strengths and weaknesses are...
Asked My Wife to Marry Me… Again
In a big way I asked my wife if she would marry me... again. She said yes. Was going to write a mushy thing about our 15 year anniversary weekend, sneaking her friends and family to fly out, but it would do no justice compared to this video we just got back that...

“Show Your Balls”
Don't feel bad about NOT discounting your rates. My team delivers, so I don't negotiate on price. Backing down makes you look weak. Shows you're not confident that you can deliver value for the price you asked. Winners want winners, not discounts. Never lost a good...
Giving to food charities
Not sure why, but food charities always get me in the feels. Think it's because I know how vulnerable the kids are that depend on these meals. I realize adults are impacted, too. But growing up on food stamps at home and free meals in school my mind always associate...
