I’ve had a rough few months. I don’t just mean the day-to-day stressors and inconveniences of life, but actual “I want to quit” kind of rough. Lots of things in my life broke down, including finances, family relationships, long-time friends, and my own sense of self-worth. If you are a human reading this (I have […]

Happy Saturday :), It’s 2:20 AM. I’m camping in the Mataqua mountains, and I can’t sleep. I’m going to start the longest run I’ve ever attempted in 10 minutes, and frankly, I have a mix of excitement and worry that I’m not strong enough to finish it. I’ve always wanted to run my age but […]

https://youtu.be/WA1nGtaFLrQ Hello my friend! I bet you’ve heard: “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no”.  I first heard this 10 years ago from Tim Ferris. The idea is that when you’re investigating a path forward in life/business etc. approach the decision being made based on your feeling of “hell yeah” or “hell […]

https://youtu.be/h_sgTm6ZuGM Hey there! Often I hear “It’s been a bad day” Rubbish. Just kidding I know there can be valid bad days but I rarely have them. Why?

https://youtu.be/4TBCbIC5ILY I had to drive north today to drop my daughter off at the family reunion a few days before I can join everyone.

I’ve worked for myself since I was 16 years old. I wish I could say I was some kind of genius or child prodigy, but the truth is, I couldn’t afford car insurance and gas just to get to my job at a grocery store in Kingman, Arizona. While still working 8 hours a day […]

When I turned 16, I took two jobs. One was at a local grocery store from around 7 am to 3 pm, and the other was at Taco Bell from 4 pm until closing.   I was able to work these long hours since I was homeschooled, and as long as I kept up, my […]

I had a thought today while driving. What if 1 piece of gravel was worth $1,000,000. All you had to do was find in a pile of rocks? I’m sure the first question you have is how many rocks are already in the pile. Well I’ll respond with another question: Does is Matter? I’ve started […]

In late September of 2019 I found myself knee deep in snow at the summit of one of the tallest mountains in Lake Tahoe. It was the world championships for the death race (now known as Spartan) and here I was running towards a glacial lake, ice broken inviting me to my death. OK maybe […]
