Own Your Body
March 23, 2026 “I don’t live in your body.” This is one of the single most important statements I can make to a patient. So often, we seek “expert” wisdom from a health care provider even when that provider has never had to live a day in our body. Can they provide parameters to help […]
Winners Take Action
March, 16, 2026 Actions speak louder than words. Not everyone wants to be saved. Most people would rather embrace a victim mindset. You see it in their words because they have zero accountability or follow through with action. Most people are content with their bad habits. Most people never want to change. These are […]
Suit up and Show Up
March 9, 2026 One of the biggest lessons I have learned as a business owner is that no one is coming to save me. Every single step of the way, I have had to figure out how to move forward. Sometimes that required the help of a coach, a mentor, an attorney, an accountant… Others […]
Sweat the Small Stuff
March 2, 2026 The little things When I was an adolescent, my parents used to talk about a book called “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” It was a way to say hey, small things really don’t matter in the grand scheme.

How often do you assess yourself?
February 2, 2026 Too often we are caught in the complacency trap of comfort. Like a wise man once said, the more you avoid discomfort, the more you make misery your master. Choosing to not assess yourself is a choice that will lead to a life of misery. Misery is the result of attempting to […]
How do I use hard times?
January 26, 2026 Every single one of us is going to have a season of life where we experience hard times. This is not something we can willfully choose to skip in the human experience. The difference, though, lies in how we choose to handle the burden of the cross when it is placed upon […]
Let me just try it out
January 19, 2026 Last week I was talking with one of my best friends about our kids and what sports they were pursuing.
