Until You Try, You Won’t Know
August 4th, 2025 I love to bake. Ever since I was a little kid, one of my favorite things to bake and sample are chocolate chip cookies. Now, if you have ever baked anything in your life, you know that there is a recipe and there is the recipe. For those of you who are […]
Winners Know What to Quit
July 28, 2025 For as long as I can remember I conditioned myself to live by the standard “don’t start the race if you have no intention to finish.” It is quite simple. If you start something, you see it through. It may be boring, it may be challenging, you may struggle but no matter […]
Done is better than perfect
July 21, 2025 For as long as I can remember, the fear of failure has plagued my life, especially when it came down to communicating ideas that I did not have complete competency in. When giving a speech or presentation, I would often find myself reading off note cards or the screen out of fear […]

Setbacks
June 9, 2025 Growing up, my grandfather loved to give us advice for school: stay away from B’s, they will sting you. While this was a way to encourage us to pursue excellence and get A’s…I think there is a lesson to be taken from the latter portion of that statement: they will sting you. […]
How can I do better today?
June 2, 2025 One of the many habits I have been working on developing over the last 3 years is the daily examen. For many of you, this practice may be called many things: vision planning, dreaming, reflection, diary time. For others, you have no idea what this is. This is a rather simple practice […]
