Read time: 1 min 18 sec It’s literally not a competition between the two. It’s both/and. It’s mutually beneficial. It’s compounding. It’s symbiotic. I’m watching as the current trending topic on Threads is AI, with content creators who love the process of creating championing that process and saying it’s a shame that kids today want […]

Read time: 2 min 8 sec One of the weirdest, most difficult things about being a personal brand, or more specifically, a person who is the business, aka a small business, is that people pay ME. Said the other way around, I take people’s money. Said like that, it feels bad, which is kind of […]

Read time: 2 min 10 sec What’s the obsession with streamlining things? It’s honestly very weird to me. An important preface to the next thought, I’m grateful for all the DMs I receive. Super grateful. But when I receive inquiries about my offers and their biggest concern is streamlining…Why? It feels like such a nebulous […]

Read time: 1 min 55 sec Look out for yourself. This doesn’t mean that you’re not looking out for others, it simply means that you’re not expecting others to be solely responsible for your safety and well-being. I walk Moose around the block every morning. It’s a “busy” neighborhood in Redondo Beach. Adding the quotes […]

Read time: 0 min 56 sec Yesterday I was on threads and saw a post from @thenapministry promoting a book by Robin Wall Kimmerer. My first thought: Why are you promoting something through Amazon?!? You, of all people, @thenapministry, should be promoting a book distributor that isn’t an absolutely evil monster AND capitalist son of […]

Read time: 2 min 24 sec Perhaps the term benign transgressions is an oxymoron. I don’t know. I need to look at definition when I get back home. I’m currently talk-to-texting this as I’m walking because it’s top of mind and my heart rate is elevated. Stop giving up your power. Stop letting little things […]

Read time: 0 min 49 sec I clap when I see white people standing up and doing the right thing. Not in the way that society claps for dads for doing literally anything. Sir, you are not babysitting, that is your child. I clap because my soul knows it’s the right thing. Perhaps there is […]

Read time: 1 min 27 sec It starts with the pass. Lessons from beach volleyball. This morning, Lex and I played really well in class, defeating every opponent that we faced, including when our coach paired up with one of our classmates. The secret? Passing first and passing well.

Read time: 0 min 47 sec The funny thing about injuries is that we forget about them. In the moment, they are all-consuming, and depending on the severity, that “moment” can last a long time.

Read time: 1 min 1 sec Maybe you’re just not strong enough yet. If we use weightlifting as an analogy, when you first start lifting weights it can be really hard to feel the movements in the desired muscles. For me, and for many others, the lats in particular are a muscle group that can […]

Read time: 1 min 53 sec It’s interesting to me what we choose to idolize and covet. I must also point out that our obsession with money and wealth will absolutely be the death of us. With all the nonsense going on in the US, I’ve taken a deep dive into the financial sector, opting […]

Read Time: 1 min I’m here for routine. I actually really really love routine which is one of a few reasons why I have little to no desire to travel. Artificially manufactured time constraints are killing us and causing us to miss out on life. It would seem like we inherently understand this, as the […]
