On this wonderful Easter I felt like there was nothing I could say that would help more than simply proclaiming the Good News we are celebrating.

While cooking breakfast the other day I paused for a moment and thought about how our meals have changed over time. One thing that stood out in particular was that peppers and onions are now a staple in most dishes that I make in some form or fashion. 3 years ago my wife wouldn't eat a pepper to save her life, let alone in her breakfast on a random Tuesday. This episode reflects on how I was a...

The Path of Purpose pt. 4: Focus on gratitude and the search for purpose inside your occupation.

Make no mistake, I am incredibly blessed, Go...

I have talked a lot about taking ownership. I have talked a little bit about giving ownership. Today, I wanted to talk about what to do once you have given ownership. I have a really bad habit of giving ownership and saying "I don't care" afterwards. Giving your wife ownership of a task or process is important and necessary, but that doesn't mean you are done. Give her ownership, t...

I have been continuously disappointed and haunted after failing a hike a year or two ago with my coach Nick Shelton.
