I've ate very clean with none to little bad fats, sugar and gluten and very few processed... Continue Reading →

Lately, I’ve been wondering why I love fast cars so much? Why I like speed? As I grow responsible and as I try to look at the foundation of everything, I’ve really been stumped by those two questions. Recently, I sat down with my father in law and asked him why he loved the speed.

Who are we?

Everyone we come in contact with throughout our lives leaves something behind in us. Essentially, we're a little bit of everyone we spend any kind of time with. This is a very interesting thought and a very true one at that. Scary as well. Now, I know there's some folks we completely disagree about but... Continue Reading →

Influence by Example

We've all heard the term of leading by example but after a few different conversations this past week I toyed with this term. It feels stronger than just leading.

Big Brother Leadership Approach

Life doesn’t get easier

I hear folks telling others (usually younger) that things get easier. I dare say they don't. I believe we get better at dealing with the situations thrown at us. I believe we set ourselves up in a position where what gets thrown at us doesn't destroy us... Most of the time. To tell our youth... Continue Reading →
