Today is my birthday
I'm not old. Wouldn't say I'm exceptionally young either. Here's what I've learned about myself on this journey. I want less "things," but want more time in the day. ❤️ Three kids is perfect. ❤️ So is my wife. I've become more aware that, to other people, I do things...
Only one “like” matters
Who cares about how many likes or listens you get. Only ONE matters. The one that connects. Over the last year I've been exploring different ways to communicate with others. ✅ podcasts ✅ guest posting on other sites ✅ social media It's been great to meet others that...
#1 out of 350,000,000

SEO is Dead
At least that's what they say. Every few years a new shiny object comes along and digital marketers rush to the gold mines. After the space gets crowded and advertising becomes overpriced, they look for what's next. Not me. I double down on old faithful, search engine...
Passion + Opportunity = Money/Happiness
Are you ready to give away 10 years of your life? Because that's usually where it all starts. I'm sitting here on the beach doing another one of my day-trips, and I started thinking about how fortunate I am. When you find yourself in such a fortunate position you...
