Thoughts that don’t fit in a funnel. If they make you feel something, that’s enough for me.

Streamlining Is Weird to Me

Tuesday, May 6th, 2025

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 […]

Look Out for Yourself

Saturday, May 3rd, 2025

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 […]

My Fight

Wednesday, April 30th, 2025

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 […]

Benign Transgressions

Friday, April 25th, 2025

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 […]

White People

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025

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 […]

Passing Isn’t Optional

Sunday, April 20th, 2025

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. Volleyball is a game where you’re […]

We Forget

Thursday, April 17th, 2025

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. But, barring any life-changing catastrophes, time passes, and we forget. The major ones that leave scars of any kind, we […]

More Weight

Wednesday, April 16th, 2025

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 […]

Wolf or Bank?

Tuesday, April 15th, 2025

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 […]

Fuck a Schedule

Sunday, April 13th, 2025

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 […]

What would you have done?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2025

Read time: 7 min 14 sec Whatup Reader! Right of the bat, that subject line is a rhetorical question. Not because I don’t want to hear from you, but because answering said question isn’t the point of this email. In order to get to the point, allow me to lay the foundation and give you the backstory. This past Sunday while taking Moose on her morning walk, I saw a man who looked to be in his late 50s, standing on the outside of the chain-link fence that encloses the baseball fields at the local…

The Desire to Be Seen

Tuesday, April 8th, 2025

Read Time: 1 min 16 sec I think it’s why people share all the shit they share on Threads. It’s why people slide into my DMs saying they WISH they could go to my live event or take this round of the Intensive. They want to be seen. I don’t fault them. Just making an […]
