Kindness Feels Good
As much as technology pays my bills, I try to avoid it when I can and find some normalcy in the real world. But there's one part of the internet that's super addictive to me. Sounds corny, but it's simply helping others, because it feels good. The guy that sent this...
Breaking the Cycle
Seeing this house is bitter-sweet. Been a good 34 years or so. I was driving through a neighborhood, I'll tell you why in a moment, and the homes looked more and more familiar. Just as I thought, "is this...?" then I saw a house that I lived in temporarily when I was...
Team Loyalty
I have 20 employees. Work with billion dollar brands. Met 0 of my team in person. Well, until earlier this year, but that was cut short in March as the world melted. Half of my team is in the US, scattered across various states. The other half is in the Philippines,...
SEO rocks

3 Month Ranking Explosion
Called a new client because we're in month 3 of SEO. After the small talk, asked how everything was going. "GREAT! Getting a ton of new leads, so I'm assuming it's you because I'm not doing anything else." Look at this explosion in rankings on Google mobile. Moved...
Second biggest company in the world? 🥳
Over the weekend, I learned that my company just exceeded Tesla, Google, Amazon, Walmart, Facebook, Microsoft and more in a valuation. Hanging out with my two boys and the older one asked his little brother where he wanted to work when he grew up. They threw out...
Cool surprise (family support)
You don't write a book to make money. Well, most authors. You write because you have something to share with the world. Yet, authoring a book keeps giving in ways that I never considered. Stopped by my dad's and my step-mom walked up and handed me a box of my own...
